Oklahoma had several seasons crippled by plucky underdogs in recent years. Iowa State has been one of the Sooners' biggest nuisances. The Cyclones defeated Oklahoma in 2017 and 2020 and have pushed the Sooners several other times. Now, Iowa State could stop the 14th-ranked Sooners from taking an unbeaten record into next week's showdown with Texas. Oklahoma allows just 8.5 points per game, second-best in the nation. Iowa State leads the Big 12 in total defense, allowing 292.5 yards per game.
