OU football linebacker Owen Heinecke was named SEC Defensive Player of the week for his performance and also recorded his first career forced fumble.

After a historic night in the Oklahoma Sooners win over Tennessee, kicker Tate Sandell earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Week.

The Tennessee Vols were unable to take advantage of an incredible atmosphere at Neyland Stadium on Saturday night, falling 33-27 to the Oklahoma Sooners.

No. 18 Oklahoma lost at home last week, falling as a 5.5-point favorite in a 34-26 (Over 52.5) setback against Ole Miss. The Sooners were outgained 431 yards to 359, with the 431 marking the most yards yielded by OU this season.

Fitting that the winning score was 33. Three was the magic number in OU’s 33-27 win at Tennessee. Four 3-pointers off the left foot of Sandell, three of which knifed through the Knoxville sky from 50-plus yards out. “Tate Sandell, man, he’s probably the MVP,” OU coach Brent Venables said. “An absolute animal.”

R Mason Thomas returned a fumble for a 71-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the OU football game at Tennessee. The fumble recovery was the longest in school history.

Former Sooner QB Josh Heupel moves to 2-0 against his former team with narrow win to dash OU's CFP hopes. The Sooners fall out of playoff picture as Joey Aguilar, Vols' offense take advantage of night atmosphere in Knoxville.
