No. 10 Oklahoma is off to a hot start in the Big 12 Championship Game as they have a 17-0 lead currently in the second quarter.
They maintained that shutout due to a massive interception by cornerback Tre Norwood in the end zone off of a pass by Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy that was intended by tight end Charlie Kolar.
Can't blame this pass on the refs. 🤷♂️

The big turnover killed what was the Cyclones’ most promising drive of the afternoon and kept all the momentum on the Sooner sideline. The interception is the fifth of Norwood’s career and his fourth this season.
Oklahoma currently holds a 17-0 lead on Iowa State in the late stages on the second quarter in Arlington.
