- Oklahoma has 239 passing yards. Iowa State has 62. Oklahoma has 86 rushing yards. Iowa State has 22. Oklahoma is 5/7 on third down. Iowa State is 1/7. But somehow, the Sooners only lead 14-6. Tells you a lot about both teams right now.
- Good Landry showed up early in Ames, shredding the Iowa State defense for 156 yards and the game’s only touchdown through a quarter and a half. Then Bad Landry took the reigns, tossing two brutal interceptions late in the second quarter. The turnovers led to both ISU field goals.
- Then the schizophrenia took over again, with Good Landry reappearing for the Sooners’ final drive. He threw two beautiful fade routes, the last of which went to Kenny Stills for a 21-yard touchdown in the final minute.
- Landry is 18/26 for 239 yards and two touchdowns at the half, well on his way to a season-high in all categories.
- Steele Jantz and the Iowa State offense have been brutal. Might be the worst in the conference (sans Kansas). He went 6/16 for 57 yards in the first 30 minutes.
