Oklahoma withstands late Iowa State comeback, wins sixth straight Big 12 title in dramatic fashion

Oklahoma’s Big 12 championship streak is alive and well.

The No. 10 Sooners’ conference title streak now sits at six thanks to a 27-21 win over No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. It was an impressive performance from the Sooners, who jumped out to a 24-7 halftime lead and held on for dear life when the resilient Cyclones made a valiant comeback attempt in the second half.

A few months ago, the Sooners were reeling. They lost their first two Big 12 games, including a road loss to Iowa State. It was the first time OU had lost back-to-back regular season games since 1999.
