Caleb Williams stellar in first half as Sooners lead 24-14 over TCU at halftime
The Caleb Williams era got off to a great start for the Oklahoma Sooners as they scored touchdowns on each of their first two drives to jump out to a 14-0 lead.
Though the game would slow down as TCU attempted to control the ball after making 14-7, Williams was nearly perfect throwing the football going 13 of 15 for 257 yards and two touchdowns.
One of his two incompletions was on a 50/50 ball to Marvin Mims deep down the field. The other was a drop in the end zone by Austin Stogner who had a touchdown before the ball slipped through his hands.
The Oklahoma defense has been up and down through the first half. Tackling struggles has reared its ugly head at times, but they’ve come up with enough plays to hold a feisty Horned Frogs offense to 14 points in the first half.
Oklahoma’s offense gained more than 300 yards of total offense in the first half, but struggled on third down going 1 of 4. TCU’s third down offense has been much better going 4 of 7 and helping the Horned Frogs maintain possession and keep the Sooners offense off the field.
Caleb Williams got the ball with just under two minutes to play and orchestrated a beautiful two minute drill culminating in a back shoulder fade to Jadon Haselwood for Williams’ second touchdown pass of the game.
Michael Woods is leading the way for the Sooners receiver corps with two receptions for 75 yards. Marvin Mims has 2 catches for 56 yards and Jeremiah Hall and Haselwood have the two touchdown receptions.
Kennedy Brooks had a big run early in the first quarter and has seven carries for 43 yards to lead the Sooners rushing attack.
The TCU Horned Frogs will get the ball to start the second half of what has been another close game for the Oklahoma Sooners.
