Oklahoma-Missouri: LIVE In-Game Observations

COLUMBIA, MO — Sooners on SI offers real-time observations from Faurot Field throughout Saturday’s Week 11 matchup between Oklahoma and the No. 24-ranked Missouri Tigers. Newest posts are at the top. Just keep your browser open and refresh often.

8:20 p.m.

Halftime stats. Not pretty.

OU-Mizzou stats / Mizzou

8:18 p.m.

Incredible. Zach Schmit hits a 56-yard walk-off field goal to give Oklahoma a 9-3 lead at halftime. It’s the third-longest FG in school history.

— JH

7:57 p.m.

With two Oklahoma turnovers — fumbles by Denton Guyer teammates Jackson Arnold and Peyton Bowen — the Sooners now lead 6-3 after Blake Craig’s 25-yard field goal.

— JH

7:49 p.m.

OU forces another three-and-out thanks to a holding penalty, a dropped pass and a dropped interception — all on third own.

This game is gonna get weird.

And as I type that, Peyton Bowen fumbles the punt. Missouri football.

This game just got weird.

— JH

7:43 p.m.

After that thunderous stop by Billy Bowman on fourth down, Oklahoma’s offense gets just enough out of the offense to set up another Zach Schmit field goal, this time from 35 yards, and OU leads Mizzou 6-0.

Some odd play calls on that last drive (jet sweep to Bauer Sharp? Seth Littrell is owed an apology for that one, plus Deion Burks gets his first big hit in a while.

Can the OU defense do it again?

— JH

7:36 p.m.

What a play from Billy Bowman.

Missouri went with a jet sweep on fourth-and-short and Bowman made it all the way across the field and blew up Luther Burden to stop the Tigers short.

Burden took a bad spill into the OU sideline, and he’s getting medical attention as he hobbles back to his sideline.

— RC

7:31 p.m.

What an odd quarter of football.

Coming out of the timeout, Zach Schmit will attempt a 40-yard field goal after the Sooners were set up with first-and-goal from the 10.

But points are points and Schmit took care of business.

Sooners strike first, up 3-0 with 14:56 left until halftime.

— RC

7:27 p.m.

End of one. This thing is tied. Here are the stats:

OU-Mizzou stats / Mizzou

7:19 p.m.

What we have here is a game with 31 total offensive yards so far.

And then just like that, Bauer Sharp takes a fourth-down fake punt throw from punter Luke Elzinga for 43 yards.

Elzinga with the fake kick, ran forward and then executed a jump pass. And of course Sharp tried to hurdle his defenders.

First down OU. Crazy.

— JH

7:18 p.m.

Well, the Oklahoma offense moved the ball 27 yards on that drive, but poor execution on first down put the Sooners behind the chains and OU couldn’t dig itself out.

Or so you thought.

Venables dialed up the fake punt, and Bauer Sharp caught the ball and ran it all the way down to the 10-yard line, punctuated by a hurdle of Luther Burden.

Rolling the dice.

— RC

7:11 p.m.

Oklahoma’s defense bailed Arnold out.

Eli Drinkwitz elected to punt from the plus-39… and it cleared way out the back of the end zone for a touchback.

— RC

7:09 p.m.

Was looking at Arnold’s run through the binoculars and didn’t think he fumbled real-time. We got one quick review in the press box, and then suddenly Missouri had the football. Assuming what Twitter says is correct: it was clearly a fumble.

OU’s defense gets another stop, and Mizzou punts from the OU 39 — and it hits 5 yards deep in the end zone.

Waiting to see if the Oklahoma offense can put something together without Arnold laying the football on the carpet.

— JH

7:06 p.m.

The ruling on the field is a Jackson Arnold fumble.

He flat-out dropped the ball on the first drive, and then coughs it up at midfield.

The one thing he can’t do tonight.

— RC

7:03 p.m.

What a start for the Oklahoma defense. After Damonic Williams and R Mason Thomas drop Nate Noel for a loss of 3 on second down, Ethan Downs blows up Drew Pyne’s screen pass to Jamal Roberts for a loss of 6.

— JH

7:03 p.m.

Fantastic first possession for Oklahoma’s defense. Damonic Williams got the big tackle for loss on second down, and Ethan Downs blew up the third down attempt at a screen.

Feels like both offenses are going to have to hit on something vertically to loosen these defenses up. Both defensive units are going to sell out to stop everything to the boundaries early on.

— RC

7:01 p.m.

Oklahoma’s starters on offense:

Thomas – Williams – Jackson – Downs

Lewis – Stutsman – Washington

Johnson – Bowman – Spears-Jennings – E. Bowen

— RC

6:59 p.m.

Well, best I could tell, Jackson Arnold didn’t look at Deion Burks or Jalil Farooq one time on that drive and the Sooners quickly punt.

I’d hate to think these guys have been through all that just to be decoys tonight.

Getting some real Landry Jones at Mizzou in 2010 kind of vibes from Arnold on that first possession — one miss, one ball batted down in the backfield, and then an unforced fumble.

— JH

6:56 p.m.

Oklahoma’s starters on offense:

Howland – Ozaeta – Everett – Nwaiwu – Brown

Thompson – Sharp – Burks – Farooq

Arnold – Tatum

— RC

6:52 p.m.

Missouri won the toss, they elected to defer.

Jackson Arnold time in Columbia.

— RC

6:30 p.m.

Speaking of the Missouri student section, how about this brave soul.

Six rows deep in the Mayfield jersey. The police around the section were having some fun with him pregame. Seemed to be a good sport about it.

— RC

6:19 p.m.

As the offensive line warms up, Michael Tarquin is mostly watching. He’s occasionally getting down into a stance and testing his ankle, but not a full warmup by any means.

Over with the running backs, Gavin Sawchuk is warming up normally.

— RC

6:16 p.m.

Based on how they are warming up in the end zone, your OU starting line reads as such:

LT: Logan Howland

LG: Heath Ozaeta

C: Troy Everett

RG: Febechi Nwaiwu

RT: Spencer Brown

— RC

6:06 p.m.

Only running back Gavin Sawchuk and right tackle Michael Tarquin were listed as game time decisions on the final availability report.

Everyone else is a go, including Deion Burks and Jalil Farooq. Both guys looked juiced as the Sooners took the field.

Also Missouri’s student section is up for this, as expected. Welcomed OU back to Faurot Field about as you would expect. This one’s gonna be fun.

Missouri auditor to probe St. Louis arts funder after whistleblower complaint

Missouri auditor to probe St. Louis arts funder after whistleblower complaint

Missouri state Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick has launched a review of the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis’ finances.

The audit is in response to complaints from a whistleblower who alerted the office to possible misuse of funds, Fitzpatrick said Tuesday. The auditor’s office then reviewed documents provided by RAC during an initial investigation before launching a full audit.

“We have verified the veracity of the whistleblower complaint, and have seen with our own eyes at this point records that give us enough concern that we want to proceed with an audit,” Fitzpatrick said.

The auditor’s report could be released late this year or in early 2027, he added. It would then be up to state and local authorities to follow up on any potential misconduct.

In an unsigned statement, RAC said it receives an annual audit from a firm selected by the offices of the St. Louis mayor and St. Louis County executive and that it shares the results publicly. “[We] are confident the findings from the state will mirror the success we have come to expect at the local level,” the statement says.

“We welcome the opportunity to provide documentation and context regarding our financial practices and grantmaking processes. As always, RAC will continue to focus on serving the St. Louis region’s arts and cultural community and maintaining the public’s trust,” the statement adds.

Potential issues identified in the state auditor’s initial investigation include the possibilities that RAC’s administrative expenses exceed what is allowed by statute, that leaders issued bonuses disallowed by the state constitution and that large grants were issued with no follow-up to ensure the money was used properly.

Fitzpatrick said his actions are not related to the commission’s choice of grant recipients.

Changes to the grant process

RAC distributes annual grants to arts organizations in St. Louis and St. Louis County. It is funded by a tax on hotel and motel stays. The commission distributed $3.7 million last year.

The organization suspended grant applications for fiscal 2026 due to “continuing financial volatility” and a new five-year plan, according to a note on its website. It will use applications received in 2025 as a guide for its 2026 grants.

Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis

Vanessa Cooksey took leadership of the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis in 2021.

“This pause allows RAC to support eligible and high-scoring 2025 grantees and applicants while navigating financial challenges and planning for a stronger, more sustainable grant program in the future,” the note says.

RAC publishes a list of its annual grants online.

Vanessa Cooksey became president and CEO of the organization in 2020 after it spent a year without a permanent leader. Previous chief Felicia Shaw had stepped down in November 2019. Neither Shaw nor RAC provided a public explanation for Shaw’s departure.

Some smaller organizations had complained that during Shaw’s tenure they stopped receiving annual grants.

The Regional Arts Commission had a $13.4 million budget in 2024, according to tax documents. Cooksey received a $196,253 salary and $28,652 in additional compensation.

Continuing a process begun by Shaw, Cooksey oversaw changes to grant applications that she said were meant to simplify the process – including removing a longstanding split between its funding mechanisms for large and small organizations.

A key arts funder after the coronavirus pandemic

In November 2022, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to direct $10.6 million from the American Rescue Plan Act to RAC. A measure that would have allocated another $1.6 million failed to pass the St. Louis County Council, so RAC was statutorily required to distribute ARPA funds only to groups based in St. Louis.

RAC has distributed $9.5 million of the ARPA money so far, funding 195 individual artists and 75 organizations.

Arts leaders said in 2022 that the sector supports more than 19,000 jobs and generates nearly $600 million a year – more than all local sports franchises combined.

The federal money was a boon to St. Louis artists and arts organizations following a steep decrease in funding at the height of the coronavirus pandemic due to decreased tourism in the region.

Tax revenues earmarked for RAC decreased from $9.5 million in fiscal 2019 to $2.8 million the next year. Tax revenue directed to RAC have increased but still lag behind the pre-pandemic total. The commission reported $7.5 million in tax revenue received in fiscal 2024.

RAC presented a new five-year plan with much fanfare in March 2020 but had little initial opportunity to implement it. Not long after, St. Louis officials put limits on public gatherings to tamp down spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Commission officials released a new five-year strategic roadmap in December 2025.
