Rankings from AP Poll

The 2009 Oklahoma Sooners football team (variously "Oklahoma", "OU", or the "Sooners") represented the University of Oklahoma in the college football season of 2009-2010. It was the 115th year of season play for the Sooners. The team was led by head coach Bob Stoops, a two-time Walter Camp Coach of the Year award winner, who has a contract lasting through the 2011 season.[1] They were led on offense by the 2008 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Sam Bradford, and played their home games at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.

The Sooners finished the season 8–5, 5–3 in Big 12 play and won the Sun Bowl 31–27 against Stanford.

Four members of the team were drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft: Sam Bradford at #1, Gerald McCoy at #3, Trent Williams at #4, and Jermaine Gresham at #21.[2][3][4] Oklahoma thus became the first school in the history of the NFL Draft with three players selected in the top four picks.[2]

Oklahoma listed 103 players on the roster with a breakdown of 21 seniors, 22 juniors, 22 sophomores, 14 redshirt freshmen, and 24 true freshmen.[17] Sam Bradford, Brody Eldridge, Gerald McCoy and Ryan Reynolds served as team captains for the 2009 squad.[18] During the course of the season, Oklahoma suffered many injuries. Many of those injuries were starters.

Cowboys Stadium, site of the Sooners' season opener.

The Sooners opened the season on the road in the newly constructed Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas against the AP Poll 20th ranked program in the country.[23] Going into the game, Oklahoma was 10–1 in season openers and 9–2 in road openers under Bob Stoops.[24] This was only the second time these teams faced each other. The previous time was in the 1994 Copper Bowl when the top-25 ranked Cougars threw for 485 yards and defeated the Sooners 31–6.[25] The Cougars are led by fourth-year head coach Bronco Mendenhall. Under coach Mendenhall, the Cougars have won 32 games and lost seven.[23] The Sooners, ranked number three in the preseason, were favored to win by a large margin with most estimates around 21 points.[26] BYU earned approximately $1.5 million for playing the Sooners[23] while the Sooners will receive $2.25 million for playing in Dallas.[27]

Prior to the game, both teams experienced multiple personnel issues. On the BYU side, left tackle Matt Reynolds fractured a finger and was still questionable for the season opener. Starting guard Jason Speredon went down with a torn rotator cuff that ended his 2009 season. Freshman Houston Reynolds also experienced a season-ending injury when he tore his ACL.[28] A few days prior to the game, Oklahoma All-American Jermaine Gresham injured his knee which ended his season.[29][30] Oklahoma saw several issues develop in their linebacker corp. Freshman Tom Wort tore his ACL during a Sooner practice and will miss the 2009 season. Senior Mike Balogun experienced issues of a legal matter when his eligibility was called into question and subsequently decertified to participate in the 2009 season by the NCAA. Balogun sued the NCAA and was granted a temporary restraining order so he could continue to practice.[31] He missed the season opener after he was unable to quickly resolve the issue with the NCAA.[32]

The Cougars controlled the ball for much of the game, maintaining possession for over 37 minutes.[33] Despite the timing advantage, Oklahoma was the first to score on an 8 yard pass to Ryan Broyles with five minutes left in the first quarter. BYU had missed a 46 yard field goal in their prior possession. On BYU's last possession of the half, quarterback Max Hall completed a 49 yard pass to Bryan Kariya which left the Cougars five yards short of the end zone. Two plays later, Hall completed another pass for a touchdown to tie the game. On the Sooners next possession, and the last series before halftime, the Sooners began at their own 30 yard line. After completing his longest pass of the game, an 18 yard pass to Brandon Caleb which broke the school record for most passing yards in a career previously held by Jason White, Bradford went down with a shoulder injury.[5] He would miss the rest of the game. The Sooners managed a 35 yard field goal to go up 10–7 at the half.[34]

The third quarter was quiet offensively. BYU reached midfield on their third possession of the quarter which marked the furthest progression of either team. On BYU's last possession of the quarter, Hall threw his second interception of the game to Oklahoma defensive player Keenan Clayton leaving Oklahoma within 25 yards from the end zone. Despite the short yardage, Oklahoma and redshirt freshman quarterback Landry Jones were unable to capitalize and settled for a field goal extending their lead 13–7. The next BYU possession proved tantamount for the Cougars. After beginning on their own 22 yard line, they drove the field on 16 plays on scored a touchdown to go up 14–13. This included a fourth down conversion that resulted in a 23 yard gain. The Oklahoma defense held the BYU offense back for awhile forcing the Cougars to execute seven plays within the seven yard line before finally succumbing. The BYU defense held Oklahoma on their next possession securing the win.[34]

Idaho State served as the 2009 home opener for the Oklahoma Sooners. The Bengals competed in the Big Sky Conference of the NCAA Division I-FCS (formerly I-AA). This was the third time Oklahoma has played a Division I-FCS team under Stoops.[35] Oklahoma won the previous two matchups by a combined score of 106–2.[36][37] This game has a similar result. With backup quarterback Landry Jones making his first start, Oklahoma won 64–0 for their 25th consecutive win at home, tying the school record.[38]

Travis Lewis tackles a Bengal ball carrier.

Idaho State made an immediate impression on Oklahoma during the Sooner's first possession. With his first pass as a starter, Jones connected with wide receiver Ryan Broyles for a 34 yard gain. After a couple additional rushes and passes, Oklahoma found itself two yards shy of the end zone. After four plays, Oklahoma was unable to penetrate the end zone and turned the ball over to the Bengals. Unable to produce anything offensively, the Bengals turned the ball back over to Oklahoma a short time later. On their second possession of the quarter, Jones and Broyles again connected, this time for a 24 yard touchdown pass. Oklahoma would end the first quarter up 21–0 after the defense sacked the Idaho State quarterback forcing a fumble which was returned for a touchdown and another 51 yard touchdown pass from Jones to Broyles. Jones and Broyles connected for a third time in the opening possession of the second quarter with an 11 yard touchdown pass. After another fumble recovery for the Sooners near midfield, Oklahoma increased their lead 34–0. Oklahoma added one more touchdown before halftime to go up 41–0. By halftime, Idaho State had accrued negative two yards of total offense.[39][40]

Oklahoma added one touchdown in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Oklahoma added two more including a 36 yard rushing touchdown by backup running back Jonathon Miller. Idaho State was never able to get anything going on offense and only crossed midfield once and only progressed to Oklahoma's 49 yard line.[6] They finished the game with 44 total yards including negative 22 rushing yards. Oklahoma finished with 564 total yards which included 286 passing yards by Jones. Running back DeMarco Murray also finished the game with 101 rushing yards.[39][40]

In a continuation of the instate series, Oklahoma hosted the Tulsa Golden Hurricane for the third game of the season. The two teams first faced each other in 1914 with the Sooners leading the series 15–7–1, however, since 1979 when the series was renewed following a 36 year hiatus, the Sooners are 9–1.[24][41] Tulsa came into the game as the NCAA-leader in total offense the prior two seasons and averaged 450 yards of total offense in their first two games of this season.[42]

The Sooners began the game by throwing an interception on the opening play thus immediately handing the ball over to the Tulsa offense. Tulsa was unable to move the ball and went three-and-out. Oklahoma took possession and managed to progress to Tulsa's five yard line, but, due to penalties, lost yardage and had to settle for a field goal. Tulsa then started their drive and managed to progress to Oklahoma's 12 yard line. However, Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne's pass was intercepted in the end zone. Starting at their own two yard line, Oklahoma was unable to progress and was forced to punt the ball back to Tulsa who subsequently missed a 50 yard field goal. Oklahoma ended the first quarter with a touchdown pass from Jones to wide receiver Brandon Caleb. Tulsa opened the second quarter with a drive that led them back to the Oklahoma 12 yard line. Oklahoma defensive players knocked the ball from Kinne's hand and Oklahoma recovered. Oklahoma scored quickly with a 63 yard touchdown pass to Caleb on the second play of the drive. Oklahoma scored two more touchdowns in the second quarter to go up 31–0 at halftime.[43]

The second half again saw no touchdowns for the Tulsa offense. Twice Tulsa attempted to convert on a fourth down but both times failed. The closest Tulsa progressed to the Oklahoma end zone in the second half was the Sooner's 27 yard line. Oklahoma, however, added two touchdowns in the second half. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones, in his second start, set a school record with six touchdown passes in a game. The previous record of five touchdown passes in a game was held by three Sooners, Jones' quarterback coach and Heisman Trophy runner-up Josh Heupel and Heisman Trophy winners Jason White and Sam Bradford. Jones was later named the AT&T ESPN All-American National Player of the Week.[44] This game also marked the second straight shutout by the Sooners, the first time since 1987. Oklahoma also extended their school record of consecutive wins at home with 26.[45] Oklahoma finished the game with 529 yards of total offense and Tulsa with 269.[43][46]

Following the bye week, Oklahoma traveled to Miami Gardens, Florida to play Miami. This was the final game in a two-game series that began in 2007 when the Hurricanes of the ACC visited Norman.[47] The Sooners soundly defeated Miami 51–13 after Bradford threw five touchdown passes and the Sooner defense limited Miami to 139 total yards.[48] The two teams have met six times total with the series split three games each.[49]

Oklahoma came into the game with a scoreless streak of 123 minutes after posting back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1987.[50] Oklahoma was the fourth consecutive ranked opponent Miami has faced, opening 2–1 after defeating Florida State and Georgia Tech but losing to Virginia Tech in the week prior to Oklahoma.[51] Much of the pre-game hype has surrounded whether Oklahoma starting quarterback Sam Bradford would return after suffering an injury in the season opener.[52][53] On the Thursday prior to the game, it was decided that Jones would make his third start against Miami.[54] Going into the game, Oklahoma was a seven point favorite.[55]

Oklahoma scored first after Dominique Franks intercepted a pass from Jacory Harris, the Miami quarterback, on the Oklahoma 4-yard line. Oklahoma drove the length of the field and Jones connected with received Cameron Kenney for a 16 yard touchdown. Miami's next possession ended the same way when Brian Jackson intercepted another Harris pass on the Oklahoma 7-yard line. Early in the second quarter, Oklahoma made its way to the Miami 4-yard line but was unable to score a touchdown and instead settled for a field goal giving them a 10–0 lead. Miami answered on the next possession. Harris completed two consecutive passed for over 10 yards and those were followed by a 50 yard rush by Javarris James that left Miami on the Oklahoma 13-yard line. Following a fumble that Miami was able to regain, Harris completed an 18 yard pass to Jimmy Graham for a touchdown to bring the score to 10–7.[56][57]

Oklahoma got the ball to begin the second half but immediately turned it over after Jones was sacked at the Oklahoma 11-yard line. Miami recovered it and quickly converted it to a touchdown, taking the lead 14–10. Oklahoma was not able to answer and instead incurred two personal foul penalties forcing them into a fourth down with 42 yards to go. Miami took possession and capitalized with a third touchdown giving them an 11-point lead. Trying to prevent the game from getting out of hand, Oklahoma marched down the field after plays that included a 19-yard rush from Chris Brown, a 25-yard pass to Cameron Kenney, and a 21-yard pass to Demarco Murray to score a touchdown to decrease the deficit to four. The score would remain unchanged near the end of the fourth quarter when Oklahoma scored a field goal on a possession that saw six consecutive running plays and one pass that gained no yards. Miami took possession of the ball with just over four minutes remaining in the game and were able to hold that possession until time expired giving them a one point win.[56][57]

Oklahoma and Miami not only had a one point game, but they also shared similar statistics. Both managed 21 first down and Miami managed 342 yards of total offense, beating Oklahoma by a single yard. Miami won the passing battle completing 202 yards in the air to Oklahoma's 188. Oklahoma won the ground game rushing for 153 yards to Miami's 140. During the game, the Sooners leading wide receiver, Ryan Broyles, suffered a broken shoulder blade. It would later be determined he may miss up to six weeks because of the injury.[56][58]

Oklahoma returned home to take on the Baylor Bears following their loss to Miami. Entering the game, Oklahoma was a perfect 18–0 against the Bears and had outscored them by an average of 43–12.[24] Baylor had lost 18 consecutive games against top 25 opponents.[58] For the second week in a row, much of the pre-game talk has been on whether Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford would return following an injury sustained the first game of the season. That talk ended the day before the game when it was announced Bradford would make return against Baylor.[59] Baylor was without their starting quartback, Robert Griffin, who suffered a season ending knee injury earlier in the season, and their backup quarterback, Blake Szymanski, who had a shoulder injury but still played late in the game. This forced Baylor to rely on their third-string quarterback, freshman Nick Florence.[9]

Baylor controlled the ball for most the first half, and gained a total of 166 yards. However, it was a pair of touchdown runs by Oklahoma's Chris Brown, both in the second quarter, that put the Sooners up 14–7 at halftime. Baylor's points came during a drive that was started on their own 41-yard line and included a 43 yard pass that put them in the red zone. In the second half, Oklahoma's red zone offense failed to capitalize on several occasions. The Oklahoma offense progressed to inside the Baylor 20-yard line four times but was forced to settle for a field goal each time. Oklahoma's kicker Jimmy Stevens was 4-for-4, making field goals of 35, 25, 21, and 24 yards. Oklahoma did not score a touchdown in the second half until within the five minute mark to put them up 33–7. Baylor went three-and-out their next possession and Oklahoma ran out the clock to end the game.[9][60][61]

In his first game back, Bradford completed 27 of his 49 pass attempts for 389 yards. Head coach Bob Stoops was disappointed that his receivers dropped eleven balls, including at least five that were "dead right in their hands."[56] DeMarco Murray finished with 113 yards on 24 carried leading the Oklahoma ground game which gained 203 totals. The Oklahoma offense ended the day with a season-high 592 total yards to Baylor's 268. Florence managed 220 yards in the air on 41 attempts while the original back up, Szymanski completed one of his two pass attempts for 42 yards. Baylor's ground game only netted six yards.[9][61]

The 2006 Red River Shootout with yellow arrow indicating the seating division in the stands.

The game marked the 104th meeting of the Red River Shootout, which has been called one of the greatest sports rivalries.[62] Since 1929, the game has been held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas typically in mid-October with the State Fair of Texas occurring adjacent to the stadium.[63] Going into the 2009 match, Texas led the series 58–40–5, but Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was 6–4 against Texas.[64] Texas came into the game undefeated and with the number two ranking in the Coaches' Poll and two Heisman contenders, quarterback Colt McCoy and receiver Jordan Shipley.[65][66] They were also the highest scoring team of the season up to that point.[10] However, Texas also had injury concerns going into the game. Before the game, it was unclear if running backs Tre' Newton and Vondrell McGee would play (McGee would later get one carry during the game). On the Oklahoma side, offensive guard Brian Simmons was injured during the Baylor game and would miss the Texas game[67] while Ryan Broyles, who was injured during the Miami game and was originally thought to be out four to six weeks, would make an early reentry and started the Texas game.[68]

Oklahoma's issues in the red zone continued into the Red River Rivalry. During the first possession of the game, Oklahoma drove from their own 14 yard line to the Texas nine primarily on a 64-yard pass from Bradford to Murray but was unable to capitalize with a touchdown on three attempts and had to settle for a field goal giving them the early lead, 3–0. On the ensuing Texas possession, the Oklahoma defense sacked McCoy forcing a fumble which was picked up by linebacker Ryan Reynolds. After the fumble recovery, the Texas defense followed up with a sack on Bradford. During the sack, Bradford fell on the same shoulder that he injured in the season opener, re-injuring it.[69] He did not play the rest of the game. Oklahoma backup quarterback Jones entered the game. Oklahoma went three-and-out, as did Texas on their next possession. After a couple passes from Jones to Brandon Caleb and Cameron Kenney, Oklahoma was again inside the Texas 20 yard line. Again they settled for a field goal. The second quarter opened with Texas's defense forcing a fumble which was recovered by Texas's Emmanuel Acho on the Texas 24 yard line. Texas was unable to capitalize and was forced to punt after reaching mid-field. Later in the 2nd quarter, after another Texas punt, Oklahoma punt returner Dominique Franks fumbled the ball and it was recovered again by Texas, this time on the Oklahoma 18 yard line. The Oklahoma defense withstood the Texas offense, and Texas settled for a field goal to cut the lead in half, 6–3.[10][70]

After halftime, Texas began with the ball and a 23-yard rush by Foswhitt Whitaker. Texas progressed to and then stalled at the Oklahoma 25 yard line. After another field goal, the game was tied at six. After an Oklahoma three-and-out, Texas scored the first touchdown of the game on a drive that consisted of 12 plays capped with a 14-yard pass from McCoy to Marquis Goodwin. The next possession, Oklahoma answered with an 18-yard pass from Jones to Adron Tennell and a 35-yard pass to Broyles. The game was again tied at 13. Texas and Oklahoma both followed with three-and-outs. On Texas's last possession of the third quarter, which ran into the 4th quarter, they again progressed to the Oklahoma red zone but settled for a field goal to take the lead 16–13. In the 4th quarter, two consecutive Oklahoma drives ended with Jones throwing an interception. Oklahoma was unable to score and Texas ran down the clock for the win.[10][70]

Oklahoma was never able to get a running game going and settled for minus-16 yards rushing while Texas managed 142 yards. Oklahoma dominated the air game with 327 yards to Texas's 127. The game also saw many penalties on both sides of the ball. Oklahoma had 10 penalties for 125 yards and Texas had 11 for 103 yards. Texas won the turnover battle forcing five Oklahoma turnovers while Oklahoma forced three. McCoy had one of the worst passing games of his career[71] while the Oklahoma defense only allowed four passes to Shipley for 22 yards.[10] The game was watched by 8,713,000 television viewers and was the fifth most-viewed games during the 2009 regular season.[72]

Oklahoma traveled to Lawrence, Kansas for their first interdivision match against the Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas, coached by former Oklahoma assistant Mark Mangino, came into the game ranked number 24 in the AP Poll and 25 in the Coaches Poll following a loss to Colorado the previous week. The Sooners won the previous matchup 45–31 in 2007 in which Bradford threw for a school record 468 yards. Oklahoma leads the all-time series 68–27–6 and Stoops was 5–0 going into the game.[73][74]

Kansas began the game with the ball, but on the first play of the game Oklahoma intercepted a pass from Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing. Oklahoma converted that turnover into a touchdown to take an early lead. The next Kansas possession ended the same way but Oklahoma was unable to convert again. At the end of the first quarter Kansas was in the midst of a drive that had progressed to the Oklahoma 15-yard line. Starting the second quarter, Kansas gained an additional five yards to the 10-yard line. On the next play, Reesing threw a pass that was intercepted by Oklahoma's Dominique Franks who ran 85 yards for the touchdown and gave Oklahoma a 14–0 lead. Kansas was able to put points on the board late in the second quarter. With just over two minutes left in the half, Kansas kicker Jacob Branstetter kicked a 39-yard field goal. On the next Oklahoma possession, the Kansas defense intercepted a pass thrown by Jones at the Oklahoma 40 yard line. Kansas was unable to move the ball forward and decided to attempt a 57-yard field goal with two seconds left. The successful attempt made the score 14–6 at halftime. The Oklahoma offense made more progress in the third quarter and added two touchdowns. Oklahoma scored its last touchdown early in the fourth quarter to go up 35–6. Midway through the fourth quarter, Oklahoma running back Jermie Calhoun fumbled the ball and Kansas recovered at their own 45-yard line. Kansas was able to convert the turnover into a touchdown with 4:27 left on the clock. Oklahoma took possession of the ball and drained as much of the clock as possible before punting the ball to Kansas in time for them to run one last play.[75]

Oklahoma quarterback Jones, starting after the re-injury of Bradford's shoulder, was 26-for-38 for 251 yards and two touchdowns. The Kansas offense, ranked number two in the country, was held to about 200 yards below its average.[76] The day after the game, Sam Bradford announced he would have season-ending shoulder surgery and would enter April's NFL Draft.[77]

Following the victory over Kansas, Oklahoma faced another team from the state. Kansas State, coached by Stoops' mentor, Bill Snyder,[78] traveled to Norman as the leader in the Big 12 North.[79] Last season, Oklahoma tied a school record for most points in a half when they scored 55 points in the first half en route to winning 58–35.[24] This year's game began similarly with Oklahoma scoring on their first three possessions on their way to a 21 point first quarter lead. All three touchdowns were passes from Jones, two going to Broyles and one to Dejuan Miller. Kansas State scored their first points early in the second quarter on a 2-yard rush from Keithen Valentine. Following a blocked extra point attempt, Oklahoma answered on their next possession to increase the lead to 28–6. The Wildcats managed a field goal before half time to decrease the Sooner lead.[80][81]

The second half saw the Wildcats surge — scoring a touchdown and a two point conversion on their opening possession to cut the Sooner lead to 28–17. Following an Oklahoma four-and-out, Kansas State again scored but again had the extra point blocked. Oklahoma then only led by less than a touchdown, 28–23. After not scoring during the third quarter, Oklahoma managed to score on the opening possession of the fourth quarter. On the ensuing kick off, Kansas State's Brandon Banks caught the ball at the Oklahoma 2-yard line and returned it for a touchdown to again cut the Sooner lead back to five. Oklahoma was able to score what would end up being the game sealing touchdown on the next possession to give them a 42–30 lead, which they held for the rest of the game.[80][81]

The Sooners next match was against Nebraska, a rivalry from the Big Eight days and before. The first match between the two teams took place in 1912.[82] The 2009 match-up saw the two defenses dominate. The only touchdown of the game came when Nebraska took one of their five interceptions and returned it to the Oklahoma one-yard line. Nebraska's other points came when another interception put them in field goal range. Jones would finish with five interceptions, an Oklahoma record. The Sooners only points came on a field goal from Tress Way with less than a minute left in the first half. Way missed three other field goals in the game. The three points for the Sooners was the lowest under coach Stoops. The Sooners fell to 5–4 on the year, which is the worst record through nine games under Stoops.[83][84][85] Oklahoma suffered additional injuries during the game. Guards Brody Eldridge and Jarvis Jones and defensive end Auston English all suffered season ending injuries in the game.[19]

Following the loss to Nebraska, Oklahoma returned home to play the Texas A&M Aggies who were led by second-year head coach Mike Sherman. Entering the game, Stoops was 9–1 against the Aggies.[24] The game got off to a quick start for the Sooners. In the opening drive, Aggie running back Christine Michael fumbled the ball at the Oklahoma 47-yard line and it was picked up by Oklahoma's Brian Jackson and returned 52 yards for a touchdown. Later in the first quarter, Broyles rushed 25 yards for a second Sooner touchdown. A&M's next possession began on the 40-yard line and ended with a field goal. Following the kickoff, Jones threw a pass that was tipped and intercepted by A&M who returned it 28 yards to the Oklahoma 6-yard line. A&M converted that to a touchdown and narrowed the lead. At the end of the first quarter, Oklahoma led 14–10. It was the first time Oklahoma had allowed points in the first quarter in 12 games.[86] Oklahoma began to run away with the game in the second quarter and scored on every offensive possession to go up 42–10 at half time. Texas A&M was held scoreless after the first quarter while the Sooners added an additional 23 points in the second half. Oklahoma finished the game with 640 yards of total offense including 392 passing yards, a career high for Jones. Oklahoma extended their NCAA-leading home winning streak to 29 straight games.[87][88]

For the final road game of the regular season, Oklahoma traveled to Lubbock, Texas where they had not won their previous two trips.[24] Oklahoma had also struggled on the road during the season. They average nearly 50 points per game at home but just 16 points per game on the road.[89] The game began with the Red Raiders scoring a field goal on their opening possession and Oklahoma responding on their second possession. The first quarter ended with a tie score of 3–3. Oklahoma increased their lead by three during the first possession of the second quarter. Texas Tech answered with a touchdown to go ahead 10–6. The next Texas Tech possession ended with another touchdown, which gave the Red Raiders a halftime lead of 17–6. The second half was dominated by Texas Tech. The Red Raiders were up 34–6 when Oklahoma scored again on a 51-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Broyles. Texas Tech answered with their own touchdown to bring the score to 41–13.[15] The 28-point margin of victory for the Red Raiders matched the second-worst loss by Oklahoma under Stoops. The Oklahoma defense allowed 549 yards of total offense after not allowing more than 364 yards in any other game that season.[89]

The end of the regular season brought in-state rival Oklahoma State to Norman. This rivalry, referred to as Bedlam, is the most lopsided series in the nation featuring two teams from the same state. Entering the game, Oklahoma led the series 80–15–7.[24] Oklahoma State is one of two teams that have defeated the Sooners at home under Stoops. However, the Sooners came into the game with a six-game winning streak over the Cowboys.[90][91] The Cowboys came into the game with hopes of a BCS berth, depending on a victory. Oklahoma State was ranked number 11 while the Sooners were unranked, which marked the third time a ranked Cowboys team played an unranked Sooners team, while the opposite scenario had occurred 38 times.[92] Despite the ranking, Oklahoma was favored to win by eight points.[93] In addition to the injuries Oklahoma had sustained throughout the season, Oklahoma State also came into the game missing a few of their key players. OSU wide receiver Dez Bryant was ruled ineligible by the NCAA in the weeks prior to the Bedlam game. Quarterback Zac Robinson missed the Cowboys' previous game due to a concussion.[91]

The first quarter was plagued with fumbles by both teams. On the first offensive play following a 59-yard punt return by Ryan Broyles to the OSU 7-yard line, Landry Jones fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Oklahoma State. On OSU's first offensive play, running back Kendall Hunter fumbled the ball, but it was recovered by OSU. During an Oklahoma possession late in the first quarter, an incomplete pass to Dejuan Miller was ruled a fumble but was overturned following an instant replay analysis. Oklahoma State's next possession saw another fumble, this time by quarterback Robinson, but it was again recovered by the Cowboys. The first quarter ended scoreless with the only chance of points being a missed 35-yard field goal by Oklahoma kicker Patrick O'Hara. The second quarter opened with the continuation of a drive that began the previous quarter. Following another Oklahoma fumble that was recovered by the Sooners, Oklahoma settled for a 24-yard field goal to claim a 3–0 lead. On Oklahoma's next offensive possession, Jones connected with Broyles for a 47-yard completion to the OSU 13-yard line. The next play, DeMarco Murray rushed for the touchdown giving the Sooners a ten point lead. Both teams were unable to put together a threatening drive for the remainder of the half.[16]

Oklahoma opened the second half with a drive that lasted nearly seven minutes. Beginning at their own 20-yard line, the Sooners progressed to the Oklahoma State 2-yard line but was forced to settle for a field goal to take a 13-point lead. Oklahoma State and then Oklahoma followed with quick three-and-outs. The next Cowboy possession began at the Oklahoma State 27-yard line. A pass from Robinson was intercepted by Jonathan Nelson and returned 37 yards to the OSU 13-yard line. DeMarco Murray scored a touchdown on a 12-yard rush two plays later. The third quarter ended with the Sooners up 20–0. Oklahoma's final score of the game came on an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ryan Broyles halfway through the fourth quarter.[16]

The recorded attendance for the game was 85,606, a Bedlam record. The game also marked the 30th consecutive home victory, the longest in the country and a new record for the Sooners. The Cowboys came into the game averaging 400 yards per game in total offense (including a league-best 203 yards on the ground) but only managed 109 total yards (62 yards on the ground).[93] Punter Tress Way also set a new school record by averaging 58.8 yards on his six punts.[94] It also marked the first shutout in the series since 1993.[93]
