The last time the OU football team donned its home alternate “Bring the Wood” uniforms, the defense was butchered for 48 points and the Sooner offense was silenced in s 34-point loss to Baylor.
West Virginia came into Saturday’s contest against 15th-ranked Oklahoma leading the nation in fewest points allowed and turnover margin, but it was the Sooners who turned up the defensive pressure, forcing five costly Mountaineer turnovers and quarterback Baker Mayfield and the OU offense took care of the rest in handing the 23rd-ranked Mountain Men a 44-24 thrashing and their first defeat of the season.
