The Oklahoma Sooners scored their final points of Saturday’s game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys with a little more than a minute remaining in the first quarter. That was still enough to secure a 28-13 win in the Bedlam rivalry. The victory also made OU eligible for a bowl in head coach Brent Venables’ first season.
Normally, a 28-0 first quarter would highlight a much-needed win in a rivalry game, but the Sooners’ offensive futility and bizarre game management in the final three quarters overshadowed their early dominance. OU rolled up 299 of its 434 total yards in quarter one.
