Jalen Hurts, No. 9 Oklahoma Survive ISU's Comeback Bid for Thrilling 42-41 Win

The No. 9 Oklahoma Sooners had two weeks to put their 48-41 loss to Kansas State behind them, and they officially bounced back from the upset Saturday night by topping the visiting Iowa State Cyclones 42-41 at Memorial Stadium.

Sooners quarterback Jalen Hurts took over the contest with five total touchdowns in the first half to lead OU to a 35-14 halftime lead.

However, the Cyclones came storming back in the second half. OU held a 42-35 lead when Hurts threw an interception to Lawrence White at the Oklahoma 35-yard line with 2:30 left in regulation. Iowa State was able to convert the turnover into a touchdown, but Brock Purdy was picked off on the two-point conversion that would've sealed the upset for ISU.
