Nov. 17, 2012 was more than the first Big 12 meeting between Oklahoma and West Virginia, in terms of history.

The Oklahoman columnist Berry Tramel talked with Oklahoma football historian Mike Brooks about some of the numbers.

Oklahoma

  • Oklahoma has won 32 straight games after leading at halftime. They have led seven times at the half this year. Oklahoma led 31-17 against West Virginia at the half.
  • Jalen Saunders and Justin Brown are the first Oklahoma duo to gain more than 100 receiving yards in a game since Ryan Broyles and Kenny Stills did against Kansas State in 2011. Saunders and Brown had 123 and 112 yards respectively.
