Once again, the Sooner defense came up big, holding the country’s 13th-best offense and 22nd-best scoring offense to 335 total yards, 145 below Oklahoma State’s season average, and just 16 points. The Cowboys were able to score just one touchdown along with three field goals, and only managed three points in the second half.
It was the fifth time this season that Oklahoma has held its opponent to 16 or fewer points.
Oklahoma State sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard came into the game as the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) rushing leader, averaging 166.5 yards per game, but the Sooners were able to hold him to 104 yards on 24 carries and just 4.
