Third quarter ends, huge third down coming

Much like the first half, the second got off to a slow start. Both teams came up short on their first drives, then Oklahoma took its second drive 80 yards topped by a 4-yard touchdown run by Allen Patrick. Then Chase Daniel threw his first interception of the game, and Oklahoma capitalized with another touchdown.

Again, things were beginning to seem a bit grim for the black and gold, and again Mizzou came back with a drive down the field and into the red zone. Two plays for losses later, though, the third quarter closed with Mizzou facing a third-and-long must-score situation. OU’s up 28-14

Update: Mizzou failed to convert on third down and ended the drive with another Jeff Wolfert field goal. OU 28, MU 17.
