Halftime stats
Mizzou fans had been mostly quiet in the first half — and not just because Oklahoma fans outnumber them — up until the tying points with 19 second left on the clock. Possibly it’s because the show they’re used to seeing has been a bit slower than usual.
Before this game, Chase Daniel and OU’s Sam Bradford had 33 and 32 touchdown passes, respectively. At the half, that number has increased by zero (both Oklahoma touchdowns came on runs by Chris Brown).
Some more stats from the first half:
- Mizzou has 16 first downs to Oklahoma’s seven. But both of Oklahoma’s red-zone scoring chances have resulted in touchdowns, and Mizzou has settled for field goals on two of three tries. (The good news: Kicker Jeff Wolfert remains perfect in Big 12 play.)
- MIzzou has 192 yards of total offense to Oklahoma’s 167.
- Neither team has a turnover, but Oklahoma continues piling up penalty yards. Oklahoma has nine penalties for 78 yards, but Mizzou has just one penalty for 10 yards.
Despite the relatively slow pace of the first half, Mizzou’s last-minute score to tie things up means that after the half, we’ve got a game.
