High-scoring starts
Entering the third game of the season, Oklahoma has scored 130 points and could significantly add to that today against Utah State. In 1917, the Sooners scored a school-record 330 points in their first three games, but after 1920, the numbers came back down to earth. Here are OU's 10 highest scoring starts through three games since 1920:
