SoonerScoop podcast: Oh, Sooner Magic is alive 'n well in the SEC
Did you turn the Sooner game off when it was 21-10? When it looked like the OU offense had zero life and wasn’t about to ever wake up?
Not many people would blame you, but then you might have missed one the biggest ‘how did that happen’ victories in OU history.
The Sooners, led by Michael Hawkins Jr. on offense and Kip Lewis on defense, found a way to a 27-21 victory at Auburn.
The difference between 4-1 and 3-2 is immense. Difference between 0-2 in the SEC and 1-1 is just as big. OU needed this one.

Relive the Sooner Magic with the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast from SoonerScoop, a memorable initial victory in the SEC. Even Brent Venables labeled it Sooner Magic.
Murdock summary:
It seemed like this game and this season were on the brink as the Sooners fell down 21-10 to Auburn. This was a team the Sooners circled as a win in the offseason. But with this offense, anything had become possible. Carey, Eddie and George regroup from the game and get down to business to discuss one of the greatest road comebacks in recent OU history. This doesn’t mean everything is fixed, but the Sooners have a week off before the Red River Rivalry.
Michael Hawkins Jr., showed us something at quarterback. The OU defense continues to play with grit and determination. They haven’t had a lot of support, but they step up and make plays when it matters. Just as R Mason Thomas did once again on Saturday. Add Brenen Thompson, Bauer Sharp and J.J. Hester as capable and potentially reliable targets for Hawkins. The offensive line wasn’t perfect, but they appeared to improve against a decent defensive line. In the end, the Sooners scored the only points of the fourth quarter. Even Zach Schmit stepped up with two big field goals. It’s the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.
