The game was the Sooners’ first Big 12 Conference loss at Owen Field since 2001 and only the third time the team had lost at home under Bob Stoops.

This was only the 5th time in the 106-year history of the Bedlam Series that OSU was ranked higher than OU going into the game.

On the following drive, OU junior QB Landry Jones was intercepted in the OSU endzone by Oklahoma State defender Broderick Brown.

Bob Stoops and assistant coach Bruce Kittle played for Iowa in a 1979 game against the Sooners.
