Oklahoma beats Tennessee 33-27, with Mateer's late TD and fumble return sealing the win.

John Mateer threw for 159 yards and ran for 80 more, including a 1-yard touchdown with under two minutes left, to lead No. 18 Oklahoma to a 33-27 win over No. 14 Tennessee. The Sooners capitalized on three Tennessee turnovers, including a 71-yard fumble return for a touchdown—the longest in Oklahoma history. Despite Joey Aguilar’s 393-yard, two-touchdown performance, Tennessee’s late drive fell short after a failed onside kick recovery. Oklahoma recovered the kick and ran out the clock, improving to 7-2 (3-2 SEC) and keeping its College Football Playoff hopes alive ahead of a key road game at No. 4 Alabama. Tennessee, now 6-3 (3-3), saw its playoff chances diminish.
