The intra-state rivalry is here. The Sooners and Cowboys face off in Boone Pickens Stadium for Bedlam on Saturday. Here is their lopsided history that dates back more than a century.

The in-state rivalry is here. The Sooners and Cowboys face off in Boone Pickens Stadium for Bedlam on Saturday. Here is their lopsided history that dates back more than a century.

As the Sooners famously love to bring up, they hold an 88-17-7 record over Oklahoma State. 

From 1946 to 1964, Oklahoma dominated 19 straight games against the Cowboys, winning by an average of 27 points throughout the period. The Sooners era of dominance was ended in 1965 and 66’, when OSU won back-to-back games by just a point at 17-16 and 15-14. 

Oklahoma State has won back-to-back games in the series five times, but has never won more than two in a row. 

Oklahoma is currently on a four win streak. The last time Oklahoma State won was when former Sooner head coach Bob Stoops did the unthinkable, punting to now Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill twice, the second  leading to a game-winning 91-yard punt return.

The largest margin of victory in series history came in Oklahoma’s 75-0 win in 1904. The Pokes was in 1945 when they won 47-0.

The Sooners and Cowboys begin their 114th matchup at 7 p.m. in Stillwater Saturday.
