Lincoln Riley has now beaten every other team in the Big 12 after the Oklahoma Sooners escaped Ames, Iowa with a 37-27 win over the Iowa State Cyclones. It was a close affair to open the conference schedule, and one that raised concerns about the defense’s tackling. Going into the game, Mike Stoops’ unit seemed much improved, but Matt Campbell’s offense exposed some potential weak spots. Having said that, there’s still justification for confidence in the unit.
The team is now moving on to Game 4 in the final non-conference contest against the 2-1 Army Black Knights.
