Ollie Gordon II ran for 137 yards and two touchdowns, and Oklahoma State defeated No. 10 Oklahoma 27-24 on Saturday in the last Bedlam rivalry game before Oklahoma leaves the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference next year.
Gordon, who entered the day as the nation's leading rusher, had a career-high 33 carries. It was his sixth straight game rushing for at least 100 yards.
The game was about more than bragging rights - both teams started the day as part of a five-way tie for the conference lead.
Alan Bowman passed for 334 yards, Rashod Owens had career highs of 10 catches for 136 yards and Brennan Presley caught eight passes for 97 yards for the Cowboys (7-2, 5-1, No. 22 CFP).
The crowd chanted Gordon's name before he broke loose for a 20-yard touchdown run on the game's opening drive.
Bowman's 13-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter put Oklahoma State up 14-7, and a field goal by Alex Hale five minutes later made it 17-7.
Oklahoma had a low snap on the first play on the next drive, and Dillon Gabriel couldn't get a handle on it. Oklahoma State's Kody Walterscheid recovered at the Oklahoma 20, and Hale's 34-yard field goal put the Cowboys up 27-21.
Oklahoma's Zach Schmit made a 36-yard field goal to cut the margin to three with 4:48 to go. The Sooners got the ball back one more time, down 27-24, but only made it to midfield before turning the ball over on downs.
