The QB run game wasn't much of a factor for #Sooners offense in Bedlam. It's already been a big one tonight, as Dillon Gabriel runs for his second TD of the game to put OU up 14-7. https://t.co/fXuuzX0YTY
Dillon Gabriel now has 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, two tonight. Oklahoma: two possessions, two touchdowns. That'll play.
#Sooners defense much better the second time out, holding West Virginia to a three-and-out. https://t.co/fXuuzX0YTY
Dillon Gabriel's ninth TD run of the season — a career high for Gabriel and team high for the #Sooners, ties it up for OU. https://t.co/fXuuzX0YTY
Dillon Gabriel finds the end zone and the Sooners are level. That's Gabriel's ninth rushing score of the season. Some misses on that drive but that's a big response from OU in front of an antsy home crowd. Impressive series for Gavin Sawchuk. Q1, 8:27 | Oklahoma 7, WVU 7
#WVU's first drive in the last three games 11 plays, 75 yards, TD 9 plays, 75 yards, TD 8 plays, 75 yards, TD https://t.co/Nz2U4FRyyz
That scoring drive was really easy for West Virginia. Mountaineers traveled 75 yards and faced only one third down. They lead 7-0 in Norman.
