Oct. 7, 2017 is a day that will live in infamy for a lot of Sooner fans. I still remember watching the game like it was yesterday and being in shock for several minutes (and hours) after the game was over. It legitimately took some time to process the fact that a team led by Baker Mayfield could lose to a team like Iowa State at home. Sure, Oklahoma lost some head-scratchers during the Bob Stoops era, but the 2017 loss to Iowa State was up there with many of those. The 2017 loss gave new life to the “fire Mike Stoops” mob that had briefly been disbanded following the Ohio State win, and also illuminated some minor weaknesses in the Sooner offense in 2017.
