Bedlam was supposed to be a serious shootout, but Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma's ground attack had other plans.
This is the first in a series of memorable Bedlam matchups between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State leading up to Saturday's game in Stillwater, the last in a rivalry spanning more than 100 years. The AllSooners staff picks its favorite games we either covered or watched live.During the 2015 season, Bedlam meant everything. Both teams entered the game 10-1, as Oklahoma was the country's No. 3 ranked team and Oklahoma State was slotted at No. 11 after losing to Baylor the week before.
For Oklahoma to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive, a win was necessary. Not only did Bedlam carry playoff implications, though, it was also to decide a Big 12 champion. Despite the 10-win records and Top-11 ranking for both sides, the Sooners were still 7.5 point favorites on the road.Oklahoma came out with vengeance, firing on all cylinders. Oklahoma State pulled off a massive upset in Norman the season before, and it was clear the Sooners weren't going to let that happen again.
The Sooners ran for 344 yards and five touchdowns on 42 carries, while Mayfield threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Oklahoma went on to win the game 58-23. The 35-point win is the largest Bedlam win in the last 11 years and was one of Mayfield's signature victories in Norman. It led to Oklahoma's impressive conference championship streak and spurred the Sooners onto the College Football Playoff.and the Tigers, but it's a season that will be remembered forever. It provided a dominant day in the Bedlam rivalry and another Big 12 Championship.
