No. 14 Oklahoma focuses on Iowa St with gauntlet ahead

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) The toughest games on their schedule are coming up, yet No. 14 Oklahoma knows it cannot afford to overlook its next opponent.

The Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12, No. 15 CFP) host Iowa State (3-5, 2-3) on Saturday, and the Cyclones are brimming with confidence. They are coming off a 24-0 win over Texas, the only team to beat Oklahoma this season.

''It should get our attention. It's a team that whooped up on Texas,'' said Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, who completed 27 of 32 passes for 383 yards and four touchdowns in last week's 62-7 win over Kansas before leaving after one possession of the second half.
