NORMAN — On Oklahoma's final offensive play of Saturday's stunning 38-31 loss to Iowa State, the Cyclones did what they'd done for most of the game.
Instead of bringing pressure on Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield, Iowa State instead had eight defenders drop back in coverage with only the three defensive linemen attempting any kind of a rush.
Mayfield set in the pocket and prepared to look for a defender.
Nothing.
Danced around and set again.
Nothing.
Stepped up to avoid pressure and looked over the middle.
Nothing.
Finally, Mayfield was forced out of the pocket and threw on the run to Marquise Brown.
