Oklahoma 28, Iowa State 21 Reaction
Reports of Oklahoma’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Things still aren’t smooth.
The passing game struggled – Caleb Williams hit just 8-of-18 passes – and 74 of the 209 rushing yards came on a brilliant Williams TD dash, but everything is still alive.
After the rough loss to Baylor, Oklahoma got the home win it needed to have, and now it’s off to Stillwater with a shot to face Oklahoma State in possible the first of back-to-back meetings.
One step at a time.
Beat the Cowboys once, and OU is still alive for the College Football Playoff. Lose, and the Big 12 Championship is still a possibility if Baylor loses to Kansas State or Texas Tech.
But it’s Oklahoma, and so it’s thinking the big four. It has its bounce back win to get back in the mix.
The defense showed up against Breece Hall and the Iowa State ground game, the two interceptions loomed large, and the team was up big in the fourth quarter before two Cyclone scores made things very, very interesting.
This just isn’t going to be a dominant Sooner team. For now, serving a good Iowa State team and advancing on is enough.
