Less than five minutes into the second quarter of Saturday's eventual 38-17 Oklahoma win over Kansas State, the action on Owen Field sent Mike Brooks scrambling in the press box at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
When running back Joe Mixon hit receiver Dede Westbrook for a 26-yard touchdown pass, Brooks immediately started looking through his files.
It didn't take him long to find the last time an Oklahoma running back threw for a touchdown — Oct. 13, 1973 against Texas.
