Oklahoma defeated Auburn by a touchdown in Saturday's SEC showdown. The SEC released a statement after Oklahoma's 24-17 victory that said the officials missed a "hideout tactic" play in the second quarter that resulted in a touchdown for the home team. No tactic associated with substitutions or the substitutions process may be used to confuse the opponent. Oklahoma is now 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play, while Auburn fell to 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the league. Mateer bolstered his Heisman campaign by throwing for 271 yards, one touchdown and zero interception while scoring the winning touchdown with his legs.
