Senior cornerback Tre Brown was the hero as Oklahoma laid claim to its sixth-straight Big 12 Championship on Saturday. Oklahoma jumped out to a 24-7 lead before Iowa State slowly crawled back, eventually getting within three points.
Gabe Brkic nailed his second field goal of the day to stretch Oklahoma’s lead to six and put the game in the hands of Oklahoma’s defense, which has played a dominant game but seemed to be losing steam as the game wore on. Iowa State appeared to be driving with momentum before a pair of false starts put them behind the chains, and an ill-advised floater from Brock Purdy ended up in the hands of Brown.
The win marks Oklahoma’s 14th conference title since 2000. All other current members combine for just six titles total. Oklahoma’s current run atop the Big 12 will ultimately be remembered as one of the most dominant stretches of football in recent history.
