OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL OU POSTGAME NOTES No OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL OU POSTGAME NOTES No. 5/6 OKLAHOMA 48, MISSOURI STATE 0 • SEPT. 12, 2020 GENERAL NOTES • No. 4/4 Oklahoma improved to 97-23-6 all-time in season openers and to 79-15-4 in home openers at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1923. OU has won 15 straight home openers. • Attendance for Saturday’s game at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium was a sellout crowd of 22,700. It was the smallest crowd for an OU home game since Nov. 10, 1945, when 11,000 fans witnessed a 14-7 Homecoming win over Iowa State. • Twenty players made their first appearance in an Oklahoma uniform on Saturday. Six players made their first OU starts: QB Spencer Rattler, RB Marcus Major, TE/H-Back Austin Stogner, WR Theo Wease, DE Isaiah Thomas and LB Brian Asamoah. • Fourteen first-year Sooners saw the field tonight. They were redshirt senior WR Theo Howard, junior DL Perrion Winfrey, sophomore DL Josh Ellison and 11 true freshmen (WR Marcellus Crutchfield, CB Joshua Eaton, DL Reggie Grimes, TE/H Mikey Henderson, RB Seth McGowan, QB Chandler Morris, WR Marvin Mims, OL Noah Nelson, K/P Zach Schmit, LB Brynden Walker and WR Trevon West). • The shutout was Oklahoma’s first in a season opener since 2013 (34-0 vs. UL-Monroe). It was OU’s first shutout overall since a 55-0 win at Kansas State in 2015. • Oklahoma scored 31 points in the first quarter for the sixth time in school history, the first time since 2008 (35 points vs. Nebraska) and the first time in a season opener since 2001 (31 points vs. North Carolina). • Missouri State’s 135 yards of total offense were the ninth-fewest allowed by Oklahoma in a season opener, and the fewest since 2008 (36 yards by UT Chattanooga). • Twelve Sooners caught a pass from three quarterbacks in the game. • Oklahoma scored a touchdown on its season-opening offensive possession for the fifth consecutive year. It is the longest such streak in program history. • In 69 games since the start of the 2015 season, OU has registered at least 500 yards of total offense 49 times, including in 40 of the last 52 outings. The Sooners have topped the 600-yard mark on 25 occassions (608 total yards tonight). • Oklahoma has scored at least 30 points in 61 of 69 games since the start of the 2015 season and at least 40 points 45 times in that span. INDIVIDUAL NOTES QB SPENCER RATTLER • Made his first career start. • Became the first Oklahoma freshman quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in his first career start. • Set OU freshman records for passing efficiency rating (303.3), yards per completion (23.71) and yards per attempt (17.06). His passing efficiency rating is also a Big 12 record for a freshman, and the third-highest passer rating overall in Oklahoma history. • Finished 14 of 17 for 290 yards and four passing TDs (all in the first half). • Became the second OU freshman QB in his starting debut with two touchdown passes of at least 50 yards (also Sam Bradford vs. North Texas in 2007). Only Rattler, Bradford and Kyler Murray (2018 vs. Florida Atlantic as a junior) have thrown two TD passes of at least 50 yards in a season opener. LB BRIAN ASAMOAH • Led OU with seven total tackles (one solo, six assists) and added one tackle for loss and one pass breakup in his first career start.

WR THEO HOWARD • Scored his first career touchdown on a 16-yard pass from QB Tanner Mordecai in the fourth quarter.

Green at Cardinals practice today looked like the 2015 version,” Riddick tweeted. “He was on fire. Arizona has the potential to have top-five wide receiver group with DHop, AJ, Rondale Moore, and Christian Kirk.” The Cardinals have lots of depth now at QB: Kyler Murray saw his first snaps this preseason, but the wide receiver position with the additions for Green it was evident Kliff Kingsbury sees little value in giving and Moore this offseason. his superstar quarterback an extended preseason look. He played nine snaps against the Chiefs before giving TE: The tight end position remains one of the big way to Colt McCoy and Chris Streveler. Those nine question marks.
