The Bengals didn’t cross midfield until mid-way through the third quarter and that drive stalled at the Oklahoma 49 yard line.“We received a tip on a message board that their quarterback was injured in practice,” said Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops. “ We immediately changed our game plan to focus more on the run, that was the difference in the game.”
