Oklahoma throttles No. 25 Florida for a 23-7 victory

Oklahoma coach Brent Venables fired his offensive coordinator and wanted more points, and he didn’t care how quickly the Sooners scored. What he got Saturday night against No. 25 Florida was a back-breaking, clock-eating drive that covered 89 yards in 20 plays and proved to be the final blow in a 23-7 victory over No. 25 Florida.“A thing of beauty,” Venables said. “Fabulous in every way.”John Mateer did just enough with his legs and arm under new play-caller Jason Witten and Sooners’ tough defense took care of the rest as Oklahoma throttled the Gators by holding them to 203 yards and 47 plays.Mateer threw a pair of short touchdown passes, the last one to Isaiah Sategna III that capped the 89-yard drive that took 12 minutes and 45 seconds off the clock, which Oklahoma said was its longest drive in 54 years.It started with 2:41 left in the third quarter. When Sategna caught the pass just inches over the hands of cornerback Ben Hanks III for a 20-7 lead, only 4:56 was left in the game. It
