Oklahoma currently leads in-state rival Oklahoma State, 27-13 at halftime. The much-anticipated Bedlam matchup began with a handful of Sooner touchdowns, courtesy of Oklahoma redshirt freshman quarterback Spencer Rattler.
Thirty minutes into Bedlam, Rattler had already scored three touchdowns (two through the air and one on the ground) to give the Sooners a commanding lead over the Cowboys. Should the Sooners hold on, they will claim a victory in Bedlam for the sixth-straight season and regain control of the drivers’ seat in terms of the Big 12 Championship.
Rattler has already gained 223 yards on 13/19 passing thus far, while running back Rhamondre Stevenson has tallied 21 yards on 12 carries. Wide receiver Marvin Mims has 65 yards on three catches and H-back Mikey Henderson has 49 yards on two grabs.
Despite a pair of early losses to Kansas State and Iowa State, the Sooners have battled back across the Big 12 standings. With a win on Saturday night, Oklahoma moves into a second-place tie with Oklahoma State and Texas (each with two losses apiece).

Kansas State beat this Oklahoma team.
(Actually, they didn't, because the two best players on the team weren't playing because of dumb NCAA rules)

Ronnie Perkins just stared down the entire Oklahoma State sideline after getting done with his pregame prayer.

#Sooners take a 21-0 lead after Wease hauls in another Spencer Rattler TD throw.
We still have six minutes to play in the first.

HALFTIME: Oklahoma 27, Oklahoma State 13.#Sooners are dominating the game, but it feels like they should be dominating it more.

#Sooners got up big and have seemingly took the foot off the gas. Need to regroup offensively.

Oklahoma State kicking all these field goals is some powerful “eh, i’m sleepy, i’ll go to the gym tomorrow though” energy
