The raw emotion from OU after the game let you know just how much that one meant. Take it one game at a time, but OU needed this one. Head coach Brent Venables needed this one.

Check and check.

And it was a gut-check to get there. OU rode that wave of an SEC game and came out with a hard-fought 33-27 victory at Tennessee on Saturday evening.

Everything still in front of Team 131, now at 7-2 overall and 3-2 in the SEC. Emotional, gritty and now a little time to rest before heading to Alabama in two weeks.

Forcing some takeaways, coming up big when it matters most, that’s going to get the job done. A long but incredible night at Neyland Stadium. OU is still standing.

Let’s break it all down. It’s time for the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast from SoonerScoop.

Murdock summary:

A lot of people didn’t believe the Sooners could come to Tennessee. A lot of people can’t be blamed. This program hasn’t had a big road win in the SEC in the last two years. How would this be any different? It just finally was as the Sooners beat Tennessee on their own field 33-27. The defense kept the Sooners in it until the offense showed up in the second half. R Mason Thomas’ 71-yard fumble return for a TD set the tempo. Tate Sandell’s 3 field goals in the second quarter was another piece of the puzzle. But even though the Sooners made some awkward decisions late, they were able to survive an onside kick in two separate instances. And John Mateer actually looked like the John Mateer OU fans thought they were getting. Carey, Eddie and George are here to wrap it up on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast from SoonerScoop.
