Too many good memories to see Bedlam become just another one

sn’t it great when you remember something from your childhood, something there’s no reason to remember, yet you do it anyway and you look it up and, holy cow, you remembered it right? Well, sitting down to ponder the end of Bedlam as we know it, I thought of something. It was my teenage years, when you couldn’t keep me away from any sport on television. I recall sitting down to watch Louisville and Kentucky play basketball. What I remember is it was absolutely must-see television, not only because it was two huge programs — Louisville had won the 1980 national championship two years after Kentucky had won the ’78 crown — but it had to be watched because, who’d have believed it, the Cardinals and Wildcats had not met in almost 25 years. That’s what I remember: In-state rivals who’d not met on the court in almost 25 years. Could it be true? Sort of. I was close. Good thing it still works for the point I’m about to make. On March 26, 1983, Kentucky and Louisville met on the basketball court for

the first time since March 13, 1959, almost 25 years earlier. Too bad, the game I’m almost sure I remember came Nov. 26, 1983, the next season, the first time the two teams were meeting in the regular season since, are you kidding, Jan. 21, 1922. They’re natural rivals. They’re the two most important universities in their basketball-mad state. And they go half a century without scheduling a game? Somebody must have said it would be bad for recruiting. Somebody must have said, “Oh, no, what if we lose.” Who knows? But here’s what I hope I know. Over the next 50 years, the two universities that count the most in this state will be a whole lot smarter than Kentucky’s over their 50 years of silliness. I’ve been writing about Bedlam since 1993 and it’s

delivered in more ways than you’ve likely ever considered. Let’s hit some memories. • In ’95, a 12-0 Poke victory sealed Howard Schnellenberger’s Sooner fate, provided it needed sealing, which it may have not. • In ’96, John Blake’s first Sooner team offered insane false promise, prevailing 27-17. •In ’00 Oklahoma State did everything but derail Oklahoma’s national championship dreams, ultimately bowing 12-7. • In ’01 and ’02 the craziest thing happened. Les Miles beat Bob Stoops back to back and I’ve never seen another coach get under Stoops’ skin the way Miles

did those seasons and the next one, when OU finally prevailed 52-9. • In ’08, Sam Bradford turned his body into a helicopter in a 62-42 Stillwater victory, a big win for the title-game bound and third-ranked Sooners and a reasonable loss for the suddenly back and new on the national scene Cowboys. • They went OT in ’12 and ’14 both, the Sooners winning the first and Stoops deciding, heck, why not punt the ball twice to the great Tyreek Hill the second. • Still, the greatest Bedlam of them all, the Blake Bell game, came in between, in ’13, when Bell, as OU’s third quarterback, following Trevor Knight and Kendal Thompson, came

in and threw for a quick 140 yards, including the game-winning touchdown to Jalen Saunders with 19 seconds remaining. Only because the Sooners picked up the Poke lateral, returning it to the end zone, on the Cowboys’ final snap, was the final score a very misleading 33-24. • Two years ago, in ’21, OSU helped push Lincoln Riley to USC and Sooner fans could not be more happy about it now. Engaging with the rivalry for so long, having to find interesting tidbits about it year after year, has been a pleasure. Like, did you know the ’43 and ’44 games were played in Oklahoma City at Taft Stadium?

There was a war on, yes, but Taft Stadium? The first one was played in Guthrie, on Nov. 5, 1904. Though OU’s dominated the series, it didn’t from ’29 to ’34, when OSU won three times, the two teams tied three times and OU scored seven points, total, between all six games. OSU shut out OU in Norman, 47-0, in ’45. OU shut out OSU 53-0 in both ’55 and ’56, the first in Stillwater and the next in Norman. The breakup’s coming in a golden age of Bedlam, when both teams tend to be ranked winning programs and the game matters much. It’s a lot to let go. OSU may take longer to come back to the table. It’s OU, after all, that’s created the separation, secretly planning its SEC bolt. But it shouldn’t last forever, especially in the age of a 12-team playoff, when a Bedlam loss will still push strength of schedule for the loser, and a Bedlam victory could be the difference in reaching the playoff or hosting a playoff game once the bracket’s expanded. Certainly, the series will eventually be revived. It must be. It ain’t Kentucky. It’s Oklahoma.

Barry Switzer reflects on most memorable Bedlam matchups Barry Switzer began his career at Oklahoma as an offensive coordinator in 1966. He was head coach from 1973-1988.

ANDREA HANCOCK T R A N S C R I P T S TA F F REPORTER

In addition to marking the end of Bedlam football, this fall is the 50th anniversary of Barry Switzer becoming head coach at OU. As the 86-year-old reflects on his Bedlam career, several matchups stand out. There was the 1985 “Ice Bowl,” when the two teams played through sleet, lightning and a sub-zero wind chill. Or the 1988 matchup, when the Sooners defeated Barry Sanders in the midst of his Heisman campaign at Oklahoma State. But Switzer says two Bedlam games in particular stick out in his mind more than any others: the 1966 and 1983 editions. In 19 66, t he Sooner s defeated the Cowboys 15-14. Fans might be surprised to hear that one of Switzer’s most memorable games was a loss, but the outcome still bothers him to this day. It was Switzer’s first year as an assistant coach at OU. The Sooners had snapped an eight-year losing streak to the Texas Longhorns two months earlier, and the week before, they upset the 8th-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Big 8’s defending champion. But when the Sooners went to Stillwater for the last

game of the season, they ran into trouble. The game was tied at 8-8 going into the fourth quarter. The Sooners were at the 1-yard line and sophomore quarterback Bob Warmack was supposed to hand the ball off to Ron Shotts. But Warmack decided to pump fake and keep the ball instead.

“It works in high school, but it doesn’t work in college,” Switzer said with a laugh. The play resulted in a 5-yard loss, and the Sooners ended up losing the game 15-14. “Because of that, that game still stands out in my mind,” Switzer said. “That should have been another victory

over OSU.” In 1983, the Sooners rallied from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Switzer remembers the game not just for the comeback, but for the antics of the Pride of Oklahoma marching band. When the Sooners were down 20-3, the band took up playing “Boomer Sooner”

on repeat for the remainder of the game. The band didn’t pause for anything, even when Stillwater police came to escort the band’s director Gene Thrailkill off the field. As he left, Thrailkill’s last order was to keep playing until the Sooners were ahead. As the Sooner fight song repeated over and over, OU

mounted its comeback. When the Sooners scored their second touchdown of the quarter with a few minutes left in regulation, they still trailed by two points, leaving them with a decision: to kick off to the Cowboys or attempt an onside kick. Switzer called a timeout and weighed his options with the special teams unit. “I said, ‘I’m gonna let y’all make this call. Y’all have a better feel for what the hell we can do here than I do,’” Switzer said. “I didn’t know what they were gonna call. They didn’t, either.” OU’s kicker, Tim Lashar, str uck t he ba ll hard — directly into a Cowboy’s helmet. The ball ricocheted off and Scott Case recovered the ball for the Sooners. With great field position, Lashar hit the winning field goal and Sooners won the game 21-20. The following week, Switzer had a game ball painted for the Pride of Oklahoma and went to the band room to personally present it to them. “I walked in and I said, ‘Guys, I wanted to present you with a game ball because you had a lot to do with our win up in Stillwater on Saturday.’ They were thrilled.” The ball, which reads “The Day the Pride Won,” sits in the band room to this day.

How Oklahoma can win or lose Bedlam TARIK MASRI

TRANSCRIPT SPORTS E D I TO R

Regardless of record, the Bedlam game is not unlike most rivalries in that it often produces surprising results. Even when Oklahoma has come in as the clear favorite, Oklahoma State has found ways to turn the often lopssided rivalry into a slugfest. The Sooners have taken eight of the last 10 meetings, but seven of those games have been decided by two scores or less. Here’s what needs to happen for the Sooners to win or lose Bedlam:

OU WINS IF ...

It establishes the running game The Cowboys’ run defense is in the bottom half of the Big 12 statistically, but they’ve still held four opponents under 125 rushing this season. Oklahoma has leaned on its passing game to secure wins at points this season, but it can’t be relied on in a tough road environment. If the Sooners can sustain long drives and wear down the Cowboys’ defense it’ll open up even more opportunities down the field and give their own defense a chance to

rest. South Alabama gashed Oklahoma State for 243 yards on the ground, only throwing the ball 16 times in a 33-7 upset win. The Cowboys are 39-49 in games where they are outrushed under head coach Mike Gundy.

It forces Bowman into mistakes Given what we’ve seen from OU head coach Brent Venables’ defenses in the past, it would be a surprising to see the Sooners not try to bring pressure. After rotating between three quarterbacks early in the season, the Cowboys have been rolling with redshirt senior Alan Bowman. The transfer from Michigan and Texas Tech is completing around 60% of his passes this season, and threw three interceptions in back-to-back losses to South Alabama and Iowa State. The Cowboys probably won’t want Bowman to hold the ball in the pocket for long, so the Sooners will need to take away his first read and give the pass rush time to get home. If they can do that they can create turnovers and make the Cowboys one dimensional.

It can avoid be gashed by Gordon The Cowboys made a clear turning point in a 39-32 win over a then-ranked Kansas team to snap a two-game los-

ing streak. Most importantly, the Cowboys offense had a focal point in running back Ollie Gordon. Gordon rushed for 168 yards and had 118 yards receiving, becoming the first FBS player in the last seven

seasons to reach those two marks. The sophomore is the only player to win multiple Walter Camp Player of the Week honors and through seven weeks he led the country in rushes over 20 yards.

The Big 12 has no shortage of great running backs, and the Sooners have faced some of the conference’s best, but Gordon presents a completely new challenge. See BEDLAM on G14

Looking back at 5 of the greatest individual Bedlam performances ANDREA HANCOCK AHANCOCK@ N O R M A N T R A N S C R I P T.C O M

If Saturday is the last day Oklahoma ever plays Oklahoma State in football, it will mark the end of a rather lopsided rivalry. It’s hard enough to narrow down the best individual performances in a series that’s been played since 1904, but the task becomes even trickier when the Bedlam record is 91–19–7 in favor of OU. There were plenty of dominating performances along the way, but for old time’s sake, The Transcript has selected five of the most outstanding games from Sooners throughout the years. STEVE OWENS (1969) — He had won the Heisman Trophy just one week before, but Steve Owens was not done making history. In his two-touchdown, 261-yard performance, Owens had 55 rushing attempts, setting the NCAA record for carries in a game. He broke his own record, set earlier that month when he had 53 rushing attempts against Iowa State. The Sooners were grateful for Owens’ offensive production in a game they ended up winning 28-27 after the Cowboys failed on a two-point conversion attempt with a few minutes left in regulation. To this day, Owen maintains OU’s record for carries in a single game. MIKE GADDIS (1988) — The

The Sooners’ Bedlam history by the numbers TARIK MASRI

OU’s Austin Stogner runs with the ball Nov. 27, 2021, during Bedlam at Boone Pickens Stadium.

TRANSCRIPT SPORTS E D I TO R

Ok lahoma head coach Brent Venables will look to improve to 2-0 as a head coach and 13-3 all-time against Oklahoma State as a Sooner coach. Last season the Sooners needed to hang on for a 28-13 win in Norman to earn bowl eligibility. That won’t be a concern this season, but the Cowboys can still play spoilers on the Sooners’ Big 12 title chances. There are no current plans for the Bedlam series to continue after Oklahoma moves from the Big 12 to the SEC next season. The two schools have been in the same conference since joining the Big Eight in 1960 and have been conference foes as far back as 1915 as members of the Southwest Conference. Here’s a look at the Sooners’ Bedlam history by the numbers:

118 An annual tradition that dates back to before Oklahoma ear ned statehood in 1907, the 118th Bedlam matchup will likely be the last for some time after the

Kyle Phillips | The Transcript

Sooners move to the SEC. The Sooners won the first meeting, 75-0, in Guthrie in 1904. The two schools didn’t meet in 1905 or 1909, but have had 114 consecutive meetings from 1910-2023.

Oklahoma’s 91 wins are tied with Nebraska (over Kansas) for the FBS record. Oklahoma has won 80.8% of all Bedlam matchups including 19 straight from 1946-64.

Oklahoma holds a marg ina l ly h ig her w inning percentage in Bedlam games played in Norman (83.3%), compared to those played in Stillwater (80.2%).

The Sooners can close out the Bedlam series with their 92nd all-time win, which would be the most ever by one FBS team over another.

Still, the series has been played in Norman 56 times and Stillwater 53 times (there have also been seven meetings in Oklahoma City and one in Guthrie). The Sooners have only lost eight times in Stillwater with five ties, but four of those losses have come since 1998. Oklahoma has not lost in back-to-back trips to Stillwater since 1932. The Cowboys didn’t lose a home Bedlam

from 1930-1934. The Sooners wouldn’t lose a road Bedlam over the next 32 years before falling 15-14 in 1966.

30 The last time Oklahoma faced the Cowboys in Boone Pickens Stadium it fell in a 37-33 thriller. The Sooners’ 33 points were their most ever in a loss in Stillwater. The most points the Soon-

ers have ever scored in a loss to Oklahoma State is 35 in 2014. Since 2000, the Sooners have scored 30 or more points in 17 Bedlam games and are 15-2 in those games. When held under 30 points, the Sooners have gone 4-2 in that span, including last year’s 28-13 win. There are 21 states that currently have at least three FBS programs. Star ting next season, Oklahoma will become one of three of those states to not have an annual college football rivalry in its borders. Oklahoma joins New York and Pennsylvania as the only states with three or more FBS programs and no annual rivalry. Penn State and Temple had an annual rivalry up until 2016 that is scheduled to be renewed in 2026-27. New York’s three FBS teams — Army, Syracuse and Buffalo — haven’t had an annual tradition of facing one another.

BEDLAM CONTINUED FROM G7

OU LOSES IF ...

The Cowboys create big plays For years, often the biggest threat to an OU defense was an offense that controlled the ball for long drives. Allowing big plays was a killer, but as long as Oklahoma’s offense had the ball, the team seemed to be in a good spot. But this isn’t the same defense from years past. The Sooners’ defense always seems to have a chance to make big plays as long as they stay on the field, and giving up big plays take away some of those opportunities. They lead the conference in turnovers forced and red zone touchdowns allowed. Despite their aggressive play style the Sooners at their best have often played like a bendbut-don’t-break defense. UCF was able to produce nine plays of 15 yards or more and five of their six scoring drives featured a gain of 20 yards or more. The Cowboys rank in the bottom half in the conference in third down conversion percentage and the Sooners led the conference in third down defense. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have been one of the top teams in the conference in scoring in the red zone, but are in the bottom half in red zone touchdowns.

Its offense stalls Despite being one of the highest-scoring teams in the country,

the Sooners’ offense has struggled to find consistency. When the offense is rolling, they can look like one of the top offenses in the country. Often in the same game, it can flip to have long stretches of producing very little. The Sooners saw a 10-point lead vanish against Texas as the offense struggled to put together drives in the second half. Oklahoma’s ability to perform in the clutch is a key difference between this year and last year, but it can’t afford to dig itself into a hole early.

It isn’t the more disciplined team It’s hard to imagine the final Bedlam matchup for the foreseeable future not being an emotional game for both sides. The home crowd would love nothing more than to end the series on a high note and should create one of the loudest environments in Bedlam history. The Sooners have played a highly-emotional game against Texas in the Cotton Bowl, but it’s not the same as a true-road environment. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy will have plenty to motivate his team with in preparation for the game, and there’s no doubt it would be massive win for the Cowboys’ coach. The Sooners are fourth-tolast in penalty yards per game, including several that were simply due to a lack of poise.

LOOK CONTINUED FROM G8

Adrian Peterson put up 249 yards on 33 carries. Peterson’s offensive production was particularly vital to the Sooners in the second half, as Heisman-winning quarterback Jason White only completed one pass after halftime. Peterson recorded one touchdown, an 80-yard run that put the Sooners up 35-21 in the third quarter. Alongside leading the Sooners to an eventual 38-35 victory, Peterson also broke the Sooner record for most rushing yards by a freshman in a season. BLAKE BELL (2013) — In a list dominated by Heisman winners and All-Americans, Blake Bell is a different sort of hero. The Sooners went into the 2013 Bedlam matchup in the rare position of being underdogs against the Cowboys, who were No. 6 in the AP Top 25 at the time. Bell, who went into the game as the third-string

quarterback, came off the bench midway through the third quarter and rallied the Sooners. Via a touchdown pass to Jalen Saunders, Bell put the Sooners ahead 27-24 with 19 seconds remaining in the game. After a scoop-andscore as time expired, the Sooners completed the upset and won 33-24. BAKER MAYFIELD (2017) — The stakes were high when Baker May f ield and the Sooners came to Stillwater in November of 2017. Both teams had one in-conference loss. Both teams knew the playoff was within reach if they could win out. ESPN’s College Gameday went to Stillwater for the occasion. With the brightest lights shining on Boone Pickens Stadium, Mayfield led the Sooners to victory in a 62-52 shootout, the highest-scoring game in Bedlam history. Mayfield threw for 598 yards and 5 touchdowns, crushing the Cowboys’ dreams and clearing the Sooners’ path toward the Big 12 Championship Game.
