Dillon Gabriel completed 21 of 28 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns, and the Sooners finished with 430 yards of offense. Oklahoma has won 11 straight home games and 29 of its last 30.
"I was hopeful for some strain and a challenge. There’s not going to be change and development and improvement without a challenge. I’m glad that that happened." "I thought our kids played relentlessly hard in the first half. It was obviously a game of two halves there," Kent State coach Sean Lewis said. "We gave up some explosive plays to start the second half and turnovers proved costly. The game got away from us against a really talented team … and you can’t put yourself in that position. They’re a talented ball club and well-coached, and we showed that we’re talented as well.
It quickly snowballed for Oklahoma. Billy Bowman recovered a Kent State fumble at the Golden Flashes’ 34 and Zach Schmit subsequently booted a 25-yard field goal to extend Oklahoma’s lead. Gabriel’s 18-yard scoring pass to Drake Stoops on Oklahoma’s next possession put the Sooners ahead 24-3, with 5:31 still remaining in the third quarter. Stoops’ score came two plays after a 44-yard run by Eric Gray, who had 71 yards on 10 carries.
"We had some things that didn’t go our way on many occasions, but we buckled down and responded within drives to either execute and put the ball in the end zone, or on defense, we found a way to get off the field and get a stop when we needed to," Venables said.
