Oklahoma Football: Sooners hold off a resilient Iowa State to avoid deja vu

For a while in the second half, you had to wonder if were going to see deja vu all over again for an OU team that has dominated Iowa State over the years.

The fifth-ranked Sooners got three touchdown passes from quarterback Kyler Murray in the opening half to take a 24-10 advantage into the locker room at the break. OU marched 74 yards in 10 plays to score a touchdown just before the half, eating up all but five seconds of the final 4:24 of the second quarter and taking momentum into the halftime intermission as well as a 14-point lead.
