Dillon Gabriel passed for 366 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores, and No. 14 Oklahoma rolled past Iowa State 50-20 on Saturday night to set up a battle of unbeatens at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas next weekend.
Oklahoma got through its trap game unscathed. The Sooners lost to Iowa State in 2017 and 2020 and have had several other close games against the Cyclones in recent years. Iowa State looked as if it might have another upset in the works, but Oklahoma shut the door by allowing 82 yards and five first downs in the second half.
"Dillon’s as talented as anybody we’ve played against," Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. "We’ve played against some great quarterbacks here and some great quarterbacks in this conference. But, boy, I just feel like the veteran-ness of a guy that’s been in the system now for a long time and really confident with his playmakers, really confident in the scheme — he played like an elite quarterback tonight.
Iowa State pulled to 21-17 on a 67-yard touchdown pass from Becht to Jayden Higgins, and Chase Contreraz’s field goal made it 21-20 with 9:06 left in the second quarter. Oklahoma did not allow another point. Oklahoma scored again on the opening drive of the second half. Jayden Gibson’s 41-yard touchdown grab from Gabriel on fourth down gave the Sooners a 47-20 lead.
