Kyler Murray – Noteworthy
Kyler Murray and the Oklahoma offense piled up yards and scored points like they have been all season. Kenneth Murray and the Sooners defense did their part as well as ninth-ranked Oklahoma bounced back from its only loss, winning 52-27 at TCU on Saturday in the first game since defensive coordinator Mike Stoops was fired. “It’s real important,” said Murray, the linebacker who had a game-high 11 tackles. “It felt like we came out there, flew around, great effort.”
While TCU was held to 275 total yards and got its only two offensive touchdowns in a three-minute span after a quarterback switch, Sooners dual-threat quarterback Murray completed 19 of 24 passes for 213 yards and four touchdowns . Kennedy Brooks and Trey Sermon both had 100-yard rushing games with scores. The Sooners (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) won their 18th consecutive true road game, never trailing after touchdowns on each of their first four drives. They lost their previous game two weeks ago, 48-45 to Texas, despite scoring three consecutive touchdowns in a six-minute span for a tie before the Longhorns won on a last-second field goal. “It was just perfect how the game unfolded, we came out and played like we were capable of, carrying over some momentum we had,” coach Lincoln Riley said. – AP College Football
