Oklahoma vs. Houston: Live Score, Highlights for Sooners vs. Cougars

Houston 33, Oklahoma 23, Final 

The Houston Cougars scored 14 points in the third quarter and a kick-six changed the momentum of the game as they took down the third-ranked Oklahoma Sooners 33-23 on Saturday afternoon. Oklahoma kicker Austin Seifert missed a 53-yard field goal in the third quarter, and that paved the way for Houston's Brandon Wilson to take it 100 yards for a game-changing touchdown. 

The total yards for both teams were pretty close, but the difference was time of possession and turnovers. Houston controlled the ball for 35:06, compared to only 24:54 for Oklahoma, and the Sooners fumbled twice. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield put up good numbers, finishing 24-of-33 passing for 323 yards and two touchdowns. 

Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. was the catalyst for the Cougars offense. He finished the day 23-of-40 passing for 321 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target was Steven Dunbar, who caught seven passes for 125 yards. 

Houston's defense was the story of the second half, as it held Oklahoma to just six points in the game's final two quarters. Ed Oliver, the 5-star freshman, was all over the field, and Houston's pass rush often times got the best of Mayfield. 

The Sooners (0-1) will return home to face Louisiana-Monroe next week, while Houston (1-0) will play host to Lamar.
