The game was marked by strong defensive efforts from both sides. The Sooners' defense managed to intercept one pass, returning it for 20 yards, and defended another pass successfully. However, they were unable to record any sacks or tackles for loss against their opponents. On offense, the Sooners struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Their passing attack was stifled by three sacks and two interceptions while managing only 39 yards through air with a completion percentage of approximately 53 percent.

Special teams had mixed results; while punting was relatively effective with eight attempts averaging around 42 yards per punt and one landing inside the opponent's twenty-yard line, there were no blocked punts or returns that resulted in touchdowns.

Penalties did not significantly impact Oklahoma's performance as they incurred just three penalties totaling thirty-six penalty yards throughout four quarters of play.
