No. 10 Oklahoma 20, Texas Christian 17: Brennan Clay exploded for 76 of his 111 yards on a fourth-quarter touchdown run and the Sooners relied on their defense to defeat the visiting Horned Frogs in Big 12 play.

Trey Millard also rushed for a touchdown for Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0), which limited Texas Christian to 210 total yards. The Sooners held the Horned Frogs (2-3, 0-2) without a first down in the opening half.

TCU scored 10 third-quarter points and trailed by three before Clay’s career-long touchdown run gave Oklahoma a 20-10 lead with 4:37 remaining. Trevone Boykin scored on an 8-yard run to pull the Horned Frogs within three with 2:26 left but Sooners’ quarterback Blake Bell ran for two first downs as Oklahoma ran out the clock.

The Horned Frogs trailed 13-0 after a dreadful offensive first half and finally recorded their initial first down on their second possession of the third quarter.
