1. Bedlam never seems to disappoint

Though Oklahoma has dominated the all-time series, it’s usually a fairly entertaining game against Oklahoma State. Bedlam may be tilted heavily in the Sooners’ favor, historically,

Since 2010, the Sooners are leading 6-2, but five contests have been decided by 10 points or less. These games seem to go down to the wire more often than not, in recent years, and Saturday’s game was no different as the Cowboys surprised everyone by hanging with the Sooners on the road.

Going into this game, who would have thought the Cowboys and Sooners would have been dead-locked at 41-41 in the fourth quarter with Oklahoma State driving? Not me and surely not many experts, but that’s exactly what happened.

Taylor Cornelius and Kyler Murray had a nice back-and-forth battle all day long as Bedlam was another classic decided by less than 10 points.
