The Oklahoma Sooners held off a late comeback attempt from Iowa State to top the Cyclones 34-24 in Ames on Thursday night.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Iowa State trailed the Sooners 31-17 but was in the middle of a threatening drive. OU D-lineman Austin Roberts was called for a dubious personal foul penalty after a ten-yard completion to receiver Allen Lazard, which put the Cyclones in Sooners territory. Facing a third-and-8 from the 23, Oklahoma had the opportunity to stop the Cyclones and effectively ice the game. But quarterback Jacob Park found Dondre Daley for a 23-yard score to cut the deficit to one touchdown.
