Oklahoma Sooners CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
At the onset of the season, the Oklahoma Sooners were given a good chance to show well in their first season as members of the SEC. Instead, OU has flopped on college football’s biggest stage. Midway through the season, head coach Brent Venables was forced to fire offensive coordinator Seth Littrell after having to bench 5-star recruit Jackson Arnold, who OU gambled on by allowing Dillon Gabriel to transfer to Oregon. The hard season continues this week with the Senior Day home finale against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Oklahoma has gotten really good at beating itself. This time, the Sooners allowed Missouri backup quarterback Drew Pyne to lead an eight-play, 75-yard drive in 57 seconds to tie Saturday’s matchup between the old Big 8 foes.
Then, OU quarterback Jackson Arnold lost his second fumble of the night — a fatal blow. Zion Young picked the ball up and rumbled 17 yards to put the Tigers in front 30-23, and Missouri closed out the win from there.
“Heartbreaking loss. Feel so bad for our players,” OU coach Brent Venables said after the game. “… We certainly had our moments and had a great opportunity there at the end. we’re up with two minutes to go, and Missouri did a great job of executing… Our guys fought with everything they had. Wasn’t good enough. We have to do a better job to help them.”
The Sooners lost the turnover battle 4-1, with Missouri outscoring the visitors 21-7 off those takeaways.
Arnold lost a pair of fumbles, safety Peyton Bowen muffed a punt, and wide receiver Deion Burks got stripped as all four miscues happened on the Oklahoma half of the field.
Arnold actually put the ball on the Faurot Field turf a third time. He had just dropped it while scrambling on the first possession, though he was able to fall on that fumble.
The backbreaker came as the Sooners were trying to march down the field and set kicker Zach Schmit up for a potential game-winner after the OU kicker nailed a 56-yard field goal to end the first half.

Oklahoma has one of the great traditions in the sport as traditional blue blood power. The Sooners have seven claimed national championships and 11 unclaimed nattys. They have won a whopping 50 conference titles.
Oklahoma holds the all-time record of 47 consecutive wins under the late great Bud Wilkinson. That is a streak that has never been seriously threatened. Just as impressive is that from 1946 to 1959, the Sooners went undefeated in conference games. Wilkinson won three national titles and 14 Big Eight championships in his College Football Hall of Fame career.
Barry Switzer was another coaching legend at Oklahoma. Like Wilkinson, Switzer won three national championships and 12 Big Eight titles. He is a College Football Hall of Famer, too.
Bob Stoops won one national championship and ten Big 12 titles as OU head coach. Like Wilkinson and Switzer, he is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
With all its success, it's no surprise that Oklahoma has boasted some of the greatest players in college football history. Namely, Steve Owens, Greg Pruitt, Billy Sims, Josh Heupel, Jason White, Adrian Peterson, Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray are OU legends.
