NORMAN — Punched in the mouth after a giving up a touchdown drive to rival Oklahoma in the first 1:44 of game time, Oklahoma State punched back. Then OU returned fire. Then OSU. Then … well, you get the picture.
With 1:03 left Taylor Cornelius rolled to his right and threw behind intended receiver Tylan Wallace. The Cowboys fell 48-47.
The Cowboys drove deep into Oklahoma territory, and Cornelius found Wallace on fourth-and-12 for a touchdown, but the failed 2-point conversion and OSU not recovering the onside kick ended the game.
OU scored points on its first five drives to open Saturday’s Bedlam brawl, and while its high-octane historic offense was nearly untouchable once again for much of the first 30 minutes, OSU managed to stay within punching distance by scoring on four of its first seven drives to take a 34-28 deficit to half.
