College Football Scores: #5 Oklahoma Sooners Survive Iowa State Upset Bid to Keep BCS Title Hopes Alive

Atlanta, Ga. 10/21/2007 3:41:55 AM

Determined to avoid the upset trend that has swept through the college football season the #5 Oklahoma Sooners overcame a 7-0 third quarter deficit to beat the Iowa State Cyclones 17-7 in a Big 12 battle on Saturday.

 

Iowa State capitalized on an early first quarter fumble from Sooners running back Allen Patrick. After starting their drive on the Oklahoma 35 yard line the Cyclones got a pass interference call that moved the ball to the 20 yard line and five plays later they were celebrating a Jason Scales 2-yard touchdown run.

 

The Sooners were held scoreless through the first half but took their opening possession of the third quarter 77 yards on 11 plays, capped by an 8-yard touchdown run from Chris Brown to tie the game at 7-7.

 

After fumbling on their next possession the Sooners started another long drive and Brown ended that with a 4-yard run into the endzone for a 14-7 advantage.

 

The Cyclones had a perfect opportunity to tie the game as they drove down to the Oklahoma 6 yard line but Bret Meyer was picked off with just under seven minutes remaining in the game.

 

Oklahoma then chewed up more than five minutes and finished their 12 play drive with a 43-yard field goal from Garrett Hartley to end the Cyclones hopes.

 

The win improved Oklahoma’s record to 7-1 and 3-1 in the Big 12. Iowa State is on the opposite end of the spectrum with a 1-7 record and remain winless in the Big 12 at 0-4.
