<p>Norman, OK (<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/events/57465/recap/115415" target="_blank">Sports Network</a>) - DeMarco Murray ran for a pair of scores, but it was his 17-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter that proved to be the difference, as seventh-ranked Oklahoma survived a late charge from Air Force's overpowering run attack to beat the Falcons, 27-24.</p>
<p>Landry Jones completed 26-of-42 passes for 254 yards, while Murray finished with 110 yards on the ground for the Sooners (3-0), who extended the nation's longest home winning streak to 33 games.</p>
<p>After a low-scoring first half, Air Force tied the game, 10-10, on Tim Jefferson's 38-yard TD run. The score capped an 80-yard drive to start the third quarter.</p>
<p>Oklahoma needed only 31 seconds to reclaim the lead. A productive return on the subsequent kickoff placed the ball at the Air Force 41-yard line. Jones completed a 36-yard pass to Ryan Broyles before Murray charged into the end zone on the next play.</p>
<p>After the Falcons went three-and-out, Jimmy Stevens converted a 41-yard field goal to extend Oklahoma's lead to 20-10.</p>
<p>A costly fumble by Jefferson -- the game's only turnover -- on the next series gave Oklahoma possession at its own 24. Murray finished off the 10-play drive by taking a screen pass from Jones and following a convoy of blockers for a 17-yard TD.</p>
<p>Jared Tew and Kyle Halderman both ran for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the latter coming with 3:39 to play, but the Falcons (2-1) came up short in their upset bid after Oklahoma ran out the remaining time.</p>
<p>"(Air Force's) execution in the second half was definitely better than ours on defense," said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.</p>
<p>Air Force came in leading the nation with 423 yards rushing per game and amassed another 351 yards on the ground.</p>
<p>"To come in here and win a game like this, you have to be plus on the turnover margin and you have to come up with a couple more big plays," said Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun.</p>
<p>Oklahoma raced out to a 7-0 lead when Murray capped the game's opening drive with a three-yard score.</p>
<p>Erik Soderberg kicked a 20-yard field goal later in the first quarter to put Air Force on the board. A 32-yard conversion by Stevens accounted for all the scoring in the second frame.</p>
<p>Broyles finished with 116 yards on 10 receptions...Jefferson led Air Force with 96 yards rushing, while Tew totaled 93 on 21 carries...Oklahoma won the previous meeting on September 1, 2001 at Falcon Stadium.</p>

<p>Air Force scored fourteen unanswered points to come within three of Oklahoma but they couldn’t stop the Sooner offense from running down the clock at the end. This Falcon team is going to make a lot of noise in the Mountain West. Check out the final stats below:</p>

<p>Air Force running back Jared Tew scored a five yard touchdown to bring Air Force to within ten points of Oklahoma. The drive went 80 yards over 14 plays, and was defined the solid, fundamental offense that Air Force has displayed all day.</p>

<p>The Oklahoma Sooners didn’t take too kindly to Air Force tying the game and marched down the field in :22 seconds to retake the lead 17-10. The two play drive featured a 36 yard pass to Ryan Broyles and a 5 yard touchdown run from DeMarco Murray.</p>

Air Force Playing Tough, Down 10-3 To Oklahoma At Half Time

</figure>
<p>The Air Force Academy deserves a lot of credit for keeping a very good Oklahoma offense at bay. After allowing a touchdown on the Sooners first drive, the Falcons have clamped down and only allowed three more points in the first half. Air Force has gained 160 yards and the Sooners have 170. Air Force is making a game of it, and can win if they keep playing like this in the second half.</p>

<p>Air Force offense has been able to move the ball for 109 yards in the first quarter, but still trails the Sooners 7-3 after one quarter. Oklahoma marched down the field with a mix of DeMarco Murray runs and passes to wide receiver Kenny Stills. The Falcon defense stepped after the score and held the Sooners to 62 yards.</p>

Last Minute Injury News And Notes

<p>Last minute notes on today's big showdown with Air Force and Oklahoma. First off, Air Force is a 16.5 underdog to number seven Oklahoma that seems a bit high in my opinion. That number could be a reality if Air Force's top running backs --Asher Clark and Jared Tew -- sit out any significant time <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gazette.com/sports/air-104786-force-oklahoma.html#ixzz0zu2RTxHw">due to injury:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Tew has a hand injury and Clark has an ankle injury. If either one doesn’t play, or they’re limited, that will set Air Force’s offense back. There’s not too much experience at tailback after Clark, so a young player like Darius Jones would be on the spot if he gets a bigger role.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><br>Air Force does spread the ball to many different runners, but Tew and Clark are the main runners who can do the most damage to opposing teams.</p>
<p>Oklahoma has no significant player out of this game. The only player is backup running back Brennan Clay who is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.collegeinjuryreport.com/college-football/oklahoma">doubtful</a> with a head and neck injury. He was not expected to contribute much in this game.<br><br>The big matchup to watch in this game will be in secondary with Air Force's DB Reggie Rembert against Oklahoma's WR Ryan Broyles. Last season, Broyles had 89 catches for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns. Expect the Falcons to have a linebacker or safety shadow Broyles as well to try to limit his production.</p>
<p>Air Force is the obvious favorite and here is a sample of final score predictions from <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.newsok.com/ou/2010/09/17/predictions-ou-vs-air-force/"><i>The</i> <i>Oklahoman</i>:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Jake Trotter: OU, 44-14<br> Mike Baldwin: OU, 34-20<br> Berry Tramel: OU, 41-21<br> Jenni Carlson: OU, 41-17<br> Brandon Chatmon: OU, 42-20<br> John Helsley: OU, 35-20<br> Mike Sherman: OU, 42-14</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Not a shocker that they would have the Sooners as an easy win, but to keep the Air Force faithful optimistic, Utah State nearly upset Oklahoma two weeks ago.</p>
