Brent Venables picked up a win in his first Bedlam game, preventing Mike Gundy from winning back-to-back Bedlams for the first time in his lengthy career in Stillwater.
Despite the yardage allowed, the Oklahoma Sooners defense played a fantastic game, stepping up for an offense that sputtered after a 28-point outburst in the first quarter.
As the offense struggled for three-fourths of this game, the defense made life incredibly difficult for Spencer Sanders and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They lived in the backfield, totaling six sacks and 13 tackles for loss in the win. They held the Cowboys to just 4.7 yards per play in the win.
The offense’s 28 points ended up being more than enough to win the game as Dillon Gabriel looked surgical, moving the Sooners down the field and hitting big plays in the passing game. A fumble by Brayden Willis and an interception on a throw behind Drake Stoops took points off the board in the second quarter that could have made this an even more lopsided affair.
It could have been an even bigger win for the Oklahoma Sooners, but a win is a win, and we should enjoy them since they’ve been few and far between in 2022. So, with that, let’s take a look at some of the best social media reactions from the Sooners’ 28-13 win over Oklahoma State.
