In this story:

Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold hit receiver Deion on Burks in the end zone to complete a five-play, 43-yard drive that gave the Sooners a 14-0 lead in the first quarter of their season-opener against Temple.

The Sooners inherited possession following an Ethan Downs-forced fumble on Temple's first offensive possession of the game.

It was Arnold's second passing touchdown of the game. He connected with Bauer Sharp for a 14-yard score earlier in the first quarter.
