4. Knocking out Oklahoma State

It took everything that the Sooners had for this one, as it usually does. This is the rivalry game to end all rivalry games in the Big 12 and it always delivers on excitement and fun. This season, it quite literally came down to one point and a handful of plays to decide on a winner. Once again, a defensive stop won the game for Oklahoma — though they couldn’t make many other stops before that one.

This game is always one that fans are pumped for, but with Oklahoma sitting up among the top of the nation it was even more exciting. Kyler Murray finished with 349 yards passing and 66 yards rushing in the 48-47 win at home in Norman against their arch rival. While the defense continued to struggle, we saw that the offense could basically score at will against just about anyone.
