November 28, 2009 — Oklahoma 27, Oklahoma State 0

The Bedlam rivalry game in 2009 featured an unranked Oklahoma team with a 6-5 record against an Oklahoma State squad sitting in the No. 12 spot nationally. The game was played in Norman, and that proved to be a big advantage for the team in the home crimson jerseys.

After a scoreless first quarter, Patrick O’Hara kicked a 24-yard second-quarter field goal followed shortly thereafter by a 13-yard touchdown run by DeMarco Murray (the current OU running backs coach) to give Oklahoma a 10-0 halftime advantage.

The same pair teamed up for 10 more Oklahoma points in the third quarter, and the Sooners closed out the scoring and the improbable shutout over a very good Oklahoma State offense with a 67-yard punt return by Ryan Broyles in the fourth quarter. Signed…sealed…and delivered: a 27-0 statement win by OU over its in-state rival.

Oklahoma produced 367 yards of total offense while holding the potent Oklahoma State offense directed by quarterback Zac Robinson, to just 109 yards total and only six first downs.

“The only good thing about this is it counts as one loss,” Cowboys’ head coach Mike Gundy told reporters in his postgame comments, “and I told the team that.”
