Jan 1, 2018Two Oklahoma possessions. Two Oklahoma touchdowns.
After Georgia scored a touchdown in Monday’s Rose Bowl to tie the game at 7, Oklahoma returned the favor by punching in a touchdown of its own one minute and 31 seconds later.
Unlike Oklahoma’s first touchdown drive, which featured Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield, the second touchdown drive was all running back Rodney Anderson. The junior busted through the offensive line, following All-American left tackle Orlando Brown, for a pickup of 45 yards.
After a run of nine yards, Anderson got the call again and bowled over a couple of Georgia defenders for a 9-yard touchdown run. His score put the Sooners ahead 14-7 just over eight minutes into the game.
