Playing on the road for the first time in 2019, Oklahoma wasted no time setting the tone for their game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. More particularly, Jalen Hurts and the offensive line proved early that it was going to be a long, and physical, afternoon for the Bruins on defense. 

Oklahoma punished UCLA to the tune of 611 total yards of offense and a methodical 48 points scored. Averaging 7.5 yards per carry, the Sooners ran the ball 41 times. 

From the start, OU made it clear that physicality was the key on the day. It took the Sooners just 5 plays to score on the opening drive with Jalen Hurts accounting for 99 yards, all on the ground. They play that seemed to break UCLA's spirit was the fifth play of that drive when Hurts scampered, untouched, for a 30-yard score on a 4th and 3 play.
