How OU football learned ‘margin for error is small’ in SEC during loss to Missouri
COLUMBIA, Mo. — When OU got the football back with the game tied and 1:03 left, it wouldn’t have been much of a surprise to see the Sooners play for overtime.
After all, they hadn’t had a passing play by a quarterback for more than 14 yards, so moving quickly down the field through the air seemed unlikely.
But OU coach Brent Venables decided to take a chance, especially after the pass-interference call drawn by Deion Burks in the first play of the drive.
After that, Xavier Robinson was stopped after a 5-yard gain to the OU 35 before Jackson Arnold’s fumble that was returned for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in the Sooners’ 30-23 loss.
Venables said he saw an opportunity to break off a much bigger run on the call to get Robinson the ball.
“They’re in a really, really light box,” Venables said. “Added it up to get an explosive run there. … Thought it could be an opportunity to get a big run there and get them on their heels and to get them out of that concept.”
The drive before that wasn’t exactly much better.
OU’s defense had been fantastic all day, but over the last three plays melted down a bit.
Jacobe Johnson slipped just before Drew Pyne found Luther Burden for a 33-yard gain to give Missouri the ball at the 10, then former OU receiver Theo Wease made a strong play on a 10-yard touchdown pass that tied it with 1:03 remaining.
Not long before the touchdown, Woodi Washington was called for defensive holding after the Sooners looked like they’d come up with a third-down stop.
“It wasn’t like there was a big bust and somebody was wide open, you know,” defensive coordinator Zac Alley said. “We just had a couple mistakes in a game in the SEC; the margin for error is small.”
Here’s a look at the rest of the OU stock report after the Sooners fell to Missouri:
OU football stock report
Stock rising
Luke Elzinga, P: Elzinga was excellent at his primary job, with three punts for 44.3 yards including one inside the 20. But he also had a 43-yard completion to Bauer Sharp on an early fake punt, and had as many passing yards in the first half as did Jackson Arnold.
Danny Stutsman, LB: Stutsman finished with 19 tackles — his career high and tied for 11th in a game in OU history — against Missouri. Just as important, Stutsman didn’t miss any tackles, according to Pro Football Focus.
Stock falling
Jackson Arnold, QB: Arnold continues to take one step forward and two steps back. He was just 15 of 24 for 74 yards against the Tigers, plus he fumbled three times — losing two.
OU’s bowl hopes: The game against Missouri seemed OU’s best chase of making a bowl game, and they seem a long shot to make one at 5-7 based on APR numbers, so now the Sooners’ hopes for extending their bowl streak rest on pulling off an upset of either Alabama at home or LSU on the road. Neither seems particularly likely.
Redshirt tracker: Xavier Robinson one game away from mark
Freshman running back Xavier Robinson hadn’t played until the loss to Texas.
But now, Robinson is looking like one of the Sooners’ most effective running backs.
That could test Brent Venables’ desire to redshirt Robinson.
With Jovantae Barnes out and Gavin Sawchuk remaining less than 100%, Robinson was OU’s leading rusher against Missouri, with nine carries for 56 yards.
Almost all of Tatum’s production — seven carries for 48 yards — came on the Sooners’ game-tying drive in the fourth quarter. He also had a 7-yard reception on the drive.
“He was fantastic,” Venables said. “Just kind of building off what he showed last week as well, got in and did well early, in the early snaps he got in, went with him because he was running through trash, great instincts, ran well behind his pads, broke a lot of tackles.”
Robinson is averaging 5.7 yards per carry on 15 carries so far this season.
Here’s a look at the redshirt tracker after the win over Maine:
- Played in five or more games: Eli Bowen, Michael Boganowski, Ivan Carreon, Jaydan Hardy, Michael Hawkins Jr., Jayden Jackson, Devon Jordan, Zion Kearney, Dasan McCullough*, Reggie Powers III, Zion Ragins, David Stone, Taylor Tatum

Reinforcing the offensive line has been a priority for the New Orleans Saints, who opened free agency by signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract. Even though the franchise has allocated plenty of resources to its offensive line, the free agency addition won’t stop them from seeking more offensive line talent.
The franchise is focused on protecting second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. If a starting offensive lineman is injured, someone must step up. Currently, Asim Richards is the only reliable backup for left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. On the interior, Dillon Radunz would make sense as a reliable replacement if someone were to go down between Edwards, center Erik McCoy, and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Drafting a promising offensive lineman in 2026 makes sense, as the Saints hold five Day 3 picks. It’s unlikely general manager Mickey Loomis will spend early draft capital on a tackle, but a late pick is logical. Missouri’s Keagen Trost, projected for Day 3, could fit this need.
Trost, 25, recently worked out privately with the Saints, a source told Saints Wire. The Missouri standout earned a 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade in 13 games last season, ranking No. 1 among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He also allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps.
Trost’s high grades project him in the fifth round, and he offers versatility, including potential to move inside. At his pro day, he measured 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds. The main issue is his 32 3/8-inch arms, which are shorter than teams prefer for starting tackles. He has extensive SEC experience and strong college production to back it up.
Picks No. 150 and 172 in the fifth round are logical choices for New Orleans to consider selecting Trost. Multiple teams have shown interest in him; he had five pre-draft visits and recently held virtual meetings with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons, according to a source. While there are many highly regarded offensive linemen in this class, Trost’s versatility appears to set him apart from the others.
