5 Takeaways following Oklahoma’s win 31-24 over the BYU Cougars
Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was that Jackson Arnold was called upon to help finish the game for Oklahoma.
Dillon Gabriel didn’t come out of the locker room after halftime, and the former five-star freshman entered the game on the opening offensive series for the Sooners.
He struggled the first couple of drives before settling in and made a couple of nice throws in relief.
The arm talent is undeniable. He showed some excellent awareness in the pocket, and while he missed on a would-be touchdown to Nic Anderson to put the game away, he settled in, didn’t turn the ball over, and gave Oklahoma a chance to win the game. Most notably, he threw a strike to Jalil Farooq to win the game for the Sooners.
