It was a magical day at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Oklahoma Sooners hosted their final Big 12 home game before their move to the SEC next summer.
Oklahoma earned double-digit wins for the first time in Brent Venables’ career. The Sooners had a nice send-off for their seniors. And their seniors were instrumental in the 69-45 win.
In particular, Dillon Gabriel and Drake Stoops had huge days on Senior Day. Gabriel threw for 400 yards and accounted for four touchdowns. Stoops caught 12 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. It was his third 100-yard day in the last four weeks as he became the Sooners’ top receiving option.
After the first half, it seemed like the Oklahoma Sooners were going to roll to an easy win, but TCU made things really interesting, pulling to within 14 points in the second half. But at 52-38, the Sooners went on a 17-0 run, capped off by Billy Bowman’s interception return for a touchdown.
It wasn’t a dominant performance, but it was a performance that will be memorable as it allowed Oklahoma’s seniors to walk off Owen Field with a perfect 5-0 record at home in 2023.
It remains to be seen if the Sooners will have one more meaningful game in Big 12 play or if they’re simply awaiting their bowl destination. However, Oklahoma did what it needed to on Black Friday to give them a shot at a Big 12 title game berth.
Relive the big 69-45 win over the TCU Horned Frogs with some of the best photos from the game.
