NORMAN, Oklahoma -- In what was supposed to be an early tune-up, the Oklahoma Sooners struggled on both sides of the ball in a 31-24 victory over the Utah State Aggies Saturday.

The Aggies regularly beat Jamell Fleming and Jonathan Nelson deep, with four different receivers recording catches of longer than 30 yards.
