NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -DeMarco Murray ran for 218 yards and two touchdowns and converted a key fourth down, helping No. 7 Oklahoma survived an unexpected scare from Utah State for a 31-24 victory on Saturday night.
Jamell Fleming secured the 800th win in the program’s history by intercepting Diondre Borel’s pass in the final 5 minutes, dragging his feet to stay inbounds near the sideline. The Sooners are only the seventh Division I school to reach that mark, joining a handful of powerhouses including Michigan, Texas and Notre Dame.
It certainly didn’t come easy.
The Aggies had the ball with a chance to tie it when Fleming made amends for a tough day for Oklahoma’s inexperienced secondary. The Sooners allowed Borel to throw for 341 yards while squeaking by with their 31st straight victory at home.
