STILLWATER, Okla. -- Of all the wild Bedlam showdowns, filled with unbelievable swings, unceasing scoring and unthinkable finishes, Saturday’s thriller in Stillwater just might have topped them all.
In the end, Baker Mayfield and the Sooners outlasted Mason Rudolph and Cowboys, 62-52, keeping Oklahoma’s dreams of advancing to the College Football Playoff alive, while extinguishing Oklahoma State’s.
After failing to stop the Cowboys for much of the game, Oklahoma’s beleaguered defense finally got a stop when it mattered the most.
On fourth-and-7 from the Sooners' 43-yard line, Rudolph’s pass went over the head of Tyron Johnson down the sidelines, sealing Oklahoma’s third straight win over the Pokes.
