Brent Venables called Oklahoma a "very grimy group" after its 17-6 win against Missouri.

Ain't always pretty, but the Sooners' grimy brand of football has them on the doorstep of the CFP.

"We can say some grimy things, but we’re going to do some grimy things on the field with our pads."

Xavier Robinson's gutsy performance against Missouri embodies OU's grit Xavier Robinson played through a sprained knee against Missouri, helping Oklahoma to a 17-6 win as the Sooners navigated a thin backfield in Week 13.

Oklahoma’s depth at RB is running thin right now. It’s why Xavier Robinson gutted out Saturday’s game against Missouri despite a sprained knee.

“Can't have a bunch of racecars around here, Lamborghinis, and everything's got to be just right, and have the premium fuel…. This is football."

Oklahoma defense adds another line to impressive resume after shutting down Missouri, Ahmad Hardy Oklahoma's defense turned in another impressive performance, this time shutting down the nation's leading rusher, Ahmad Hardy, and shutting off Missouri's water in a 17-6 win at Owen Field.

Oklahoma's defense added another pelt to its wall, this time shutting down Missouri's rushing attack (70 yards on 35 carries) and Ahmad Hardy (57 yards on 17 carries) -- and completely shutting the Tigers' water off in the second half.

"We're coming in stride at the right time."

To put a finer point on this:

Noel quit Oasis mid-tour on August 28, 2009

Eight days later, Florida played their first game since winning the 2008 BCS title, which is also their last SEC title to date

Peyton Bowen's blocked field goal helped Oklahoma 'turn the tide' against Missouri Oklahoma blocked a field goal for the second game in a row, as Peyton Bowen came up big for the Sooners in the second quarter of their 17-6 win against Missouri.

A chess match between Brent Venables and Eli Drinkwitz midway through the second quarter led to a game-swinging field goal block by Peyton Bowen in Oklahoma’s 17-6 win against Missouri.

“that blocked field goal, I feel like was a real turn of the tide in that game."

Brent Venables says Xavier Robinson sprained his knee in last week's win at Alabama but showed up on Monday for practice, said to put him in a brace and let him play: "That's what guys from Carl Albert do. They show up, even when it hurts."

Instant analysis: Oklahoma takes another step toward College Football Playoff with 17-6 win against Missouri Takeaways from No. 8 Oklahoma's 17-6 win against No. 22 Missouri on Saturday at Owen Field, as the Sooners moved within one game of shoring up a spot in the College Football Playoff.

No. 8 Oklahoma takes another step closer to a College Football Playoff berth with a 17-6 win against No. 22 Missouri.

-- Defense stymies the nation's sixth-ranked rushing attack and leading rusher
-- Offense finds just enough of a spark
-- Another week, another critical special teams play

Players are hyped about it.
