Other notes:

*Mike Stoops said Dillon Faamatau was banged up heading into this game. He only had 17 total snaps.

*Ronnie Perkins just had 10 snaps in this one. It seems the coaches were very hesitant to play the true freshmen who have been role players in the first road game. T.J. Pledger had just 1 snap.

*Tackling was an issue again Saturday, but the Sooners had fewer missed tackles in 2018 (12) than they did in 2017 (13) against Iowa State.

* Who had the best grades for tackling Saturday? Justin Broiles led the way with an 84.5 overall grade for tackling. Kenneth Murray was second with a total of 83.1. Mark Jackson was the only other player with an 80+ total (80.8)

* Trey Sermon was on the field for 51 of the Sooners 71 offensive snaps.

* Marquise Brown had the most offensive snaps for any offensive skill player with 65

* Grant Calcaterra had a rough day with the fumble that helped swing momentum early. But he did finish second on the offense with an 85.2 run blocking grade. Trey Sermon was first with 85.7

* Bobby Evans and Ben Powers didn't have great overall days. But Evans, Powers and Dru Samia all had good days not allowing pressure on Kyler Murray.

BLOCKING AND ALLOWED PRESSURES

1. Bobby Evans 88.7
2. Dru Samia 88.0
3. Ben Powers 88.0
