The Oklahoma Sooners improved to 9-2 overall and 5-2 in the SEC in 2025 with a 17-6 victory over the Missouri Tigers in Week 13. OU's 11-point win at home avenged last year's crushing loss to Mizzou on the road, and it put the Sooners one step closer to making the College Football Playoff.

Dr. Steven Shin, who and operated on OU football quarterback John Mateer’s hand/thumb earlier this season, is in attendance Saturday for the Sooners’ home game against Missouri.

Tight end Jaren Kanak had two catches for 24 yards, Burks two for minus-2 yards, Keontez Lewis one for 12 and Javonnie Gibson had just his 8-yard touchdown catch. Tight end Kaden Helms also had one catch for 6 yards. Burks was targeted eight times.

A key moment in OU's win was a strategic timeout by coach Brent Venables, which led Missouri to change its play. Missouri's subsequent field goal attempt was blocked by OU's Peyton Bowen, shifting momentum. Following the blocked kick, OU quickly scored a touchdown, turning a potential deficit into a lead.
