NORMAN, Okla (AP) — John Mateer threw two touchdown passes, and No. 8 Oklahoma defeated No. 23 Missouri 17-6 on Saturday to inch closer to a College Football Playoff spot.
Mateer went 14 for 30 passing for 173 yards and ran for 60 yards. Isaiah Sategna caught three passes for 109 yards for the Sooners (9-2, 5-2 SEC, No. 8 CFP), who likely will make the playoff field with a win at home against LSU next Saturday.
Oklahoma held the Tigers (7-4, 3-4, No. 22 CFP) to 301 yards and shut them out in the second half.

Laila Phelia woke up one day last season in Austin, Texas and couldn’t see. A dark cloud had descended on her vision and panic quickly set in.

Jaylen Brown is not happy with how his teammates on the Boston Celtics played in their 113-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden this past Friday (Nov. 21) night.
