A large reason Missouri won this game was because the team won the turnover battle. The Tigers had four takeaways to Oklahoma’s one. Early in the first quarter, safety Daylan Carnell forced an Oklahoma fumble. This was recovered by defensive end Johnny Walker Jr., setting the Tigers up at midfield.

Here are five takeaways from the Sooners loss to Missouri. For as much as Brent Venables and his coaching staff talk about protecting the football, the Oklahoma Sooners are one of the worst teams in the country protecting the football. On Saturday, they had four turnovers.

The Oklahoma Sooners made their first trip to Columbia, Missouri in over a decade. What started as a defensive war of attrition turned into a drama filled fourth quarter, where miscues became the storyline.
