No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners hold on after going to the wire against unranked Tulane Green Wave

NORMAN, Okla. -- No. 2 Oklahoma escaped with a 40-35 win against an unranked Tulane team that nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in school history on Saturday.

Sooners quarterback Spencer Rattler passed for 304 yards in a game that was relocated from New Orleans because of Hurricane Ida.

Oklahoma led by five in the fourth quarter and Tulane had possession, but quarterback Michael Pratt ran for 12 yards on a fourth-and-13 play. Tulane turned the ball over on downs, and Oklahoma ran out the clock.

Oklahoma's Gabe Brkic tied an FBS record with three field goals of 50 or more yards, and Marvin Mims had five catches for 117 yards for the Sooners (1-0).
