Oklahoma appeared headed for more trouble in its first season in the SEC. The Sooners were down double digits in the fourth quarter on Saturday at Auburn before they mounted a charge.
In the final 8:32, the Sooners scored 17 points and came away with a 27-21 victory over the Tigers at Jordan-Hare.
After a touchdown brought Oklahoma within 21-18, Kip Lewis made the play of the game.
The 6-foot-1, 221-pound sophomore linebacker picked off a Payton Thorne pass and returned it 63 yards for a touchdown to give Oklahoma the lead.
