No. 14 Oklahoma, Mateer get back on track after loss to Texas with a 26-7 win over South Carolina
John Mateer threw for 150 yards and a touchdown while Oklahoma's defense sacked South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers six times in the 14th-ranked Sooners' bounce-back 26-7 victory.
COLUMBIA, SC — OU football cornerback Gentry Williams exited the Sooners' 26-7 win over South Carolina in the first quarter and didn't return. Williams was down and helped off the field after South Carolina converted 36 yards on fourth-and-1. After being evaluated in the injury tent, Williams was taken to the locker room.
By halftime, South Carolina trailed Oklahoma (6-1, 2-1 SEC) in every statistical category. Most notable: Penalties. A week after getting flagged 13 times in their loss to LSU, the Gamecocks did not commit a single penalty in the first half Saturday. Meanwhile, the Sooners earned eight first-half flags for 73 yards ... and still led by a touchdown.
Crowds filled the fairgrounds and stadium area Saturday, causing long delays and higher parking costs across Columbia.
