Oklahoma snapped out of its doldrums and scored 21 straight points to up 11 with about half of the final quarter remaining against Kansas on Saturday
Oklahoma faced a 4th-and-3 from the Kansas 40. Trying to draw the Jayhawks offside didn’t work so Lincoln Riley called a timeout.
Rather than send out the punt team, Riley went with the offense again.
Smart move.
Quarterback Caleb Williams kept the ball, broke a few arm tackles, and was off and running to the end zone.
