Following a much-needed bye week, the Oklahoma Sooners’ defense put together palate-cleansing performance en route to a 27-13 win over the Iowa State Cyclones. Mind you, the ISU offense did not come into his weekend as world-beaters, but this is the performance Brent Venables’ defensive unit needed in order to build confidence for the season’s home stretch.
On the day, Oklahoma held Iowa State to 66 yards on the ground on 27 attempts, equaling 2.7 yards per rush. The Cyclones, granted, were only averaging just over 100 per game entering Saturday.
