OU football best and worst: Kyler Murray's sliding skills are MLB worthy

AMES, Iowa — Oklahoma escaped Ames, Iowa with a win Saturday afternoon, something the Sooners couldn't secure last season in Norman. The Sooners beat the Cyclones 37-27.

Here's a look at the best and worst from Saturday.

Best sliding demonstration: Kyler Murray

There's just something different about the way Kyler Murray slides, and it surely has something to do with his baseball background. Whereas most quarterbacks slow their stride before taking an awkward spill to the turf, Murray drops into his slide seemingly at full speed.

The Oklahoma quarterback rushed for 77 yards on 15 carries against Iowa State.
