AMES – Iowa State hug tough with Oklahoma Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, but the Sooners were too much, defeating the Cyclones 27-13 in a Big 12 Conference matchup.
Three interceptions by the Oklahoma defense was too much for Iowa State to overcome Saturday. The final picked-off pass came with Iowa State trailing by only a touchdown in the fourth quarter, 20-13, leading to another score for the Sooners.
Oklahoma (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) hands the fifth straight loss to Iowa State (3-5, 0-5 Big 12).
Iowa State plays West Virginia next Saturday in another home contest, for homecoming.
