8:05 – First goal for Auburn after Thorne scrambles to the 6.

9:16 – Auburn at the Oklahoma 16 on a 14-yard pass to Robert Lewis, an 11-yard pass run by Hunter on the fake flea flicker and a 20-yard pass to KeAndre Lambert-Smith.

12:10 — Auburn converts third-and-10 with a nice Jarquez Hunter second attempt on the quick screen. Tigers at 40.

12:30 pmTouchdown, Oklahoma. Quarterback Michael Hawkins bursts up the middle untouched for a 48-yard touchdown on third-and-5. Oklahoma 7, Auburn 0, 12:30/1Q. Just a disastrous start for Auburn.
