Oklahoma found its rhythm both on the ground and through the air, going deep into WVU territory to position Brkic for the game-winning field goal.

Following a WVU face mask penalty, which positioned the Sooners at the West Virginia 8-yard line, OU's Spencer Rattler slid towards the right hash line to position Brkic with 0:02 second left.

Oklahoma wins the toss and defers. West Virginia will receive and Oklahoma will defend the north end zone.
