Michael Turk averaged 49.3 yards on his six punts and became Oklahoma's first full-time punter since 1970 to throw a touchdown pass in OU's 27-13 win at Iowa State. The TD pass came on a fake field goal attempt as Turk, the holder, flipped the ball to kicker Zach Schmit, who ran the ball in from two yards out to give OU a 10-3 second-quarter lead. As a punter, the senior was particularly effective in the fourth quarter, booming 61- and 60-yarders to flip the field with the Sooners holding on to a seven-point lead. The 60-yard punt was downed at the two-yard line, and OU's defense registered takeaways on both ensuing ISU possessions. Turk leads the Big 12 and ranks sixth nationally with his 45.8-yard punt average this season.

I’ll take Baylor and the points Por favor

I know I'm in Cowboys country, but this is still funny. Guess when you dominate a first half like he did, you raise some eyebrows.

Any feel for if they are both healthy?

I hadn’t seen anything.

I know this board is 99.999999% about football, but I think there are still a handful of people left here who follow other sports. @BPrzybylo, as our resident hoops mod, have you heard any deets about our scrimmage with Oregon over the weekend. Doubt there will be much info available, but I saw some detailed recaps on the same type of scrimmage UT had with Arkansas (both top-15 teams in preseason polls)...with UT handling them fairly easily. Read elsewhere that OU may have beaten Oregon by 7...but wondering if you've gotten anymore info from your sources.

Fire Bates

OFFENSE:

QB: Dillon Gabriel - 81 - This grade could have been higher if he'd gotten a little help but I really thought he was pretty good.
RB: Eric Gray - 85 - Had some great moments but clearly wasn't full speed in the second half.
WR: Drake Stoops - 72 - Man loved some of his off the ball stuff and a few key conversions for OU.
WR: Marvin Mims - 20 - It will be forever remembered as his worst game as a Sooner, just awful.
WR: Jalil Farooq - 82 - Huge touchdown that really stemmed Iowa State momentum that was building.
TE: Brayden Willis- 73 - Not his greatest game including a costly drop but still plenty of good work away from the ball.
OT: Anton Harrison - 81 - I thought he was great in the second half but drifted a little bit in the second.
OG: McKade Mettauer - 65 - He came out pretty early, very interested to see how the snap count played out.
C: Andrew Raym - 83 - I want to watch more but I REALLY liked what I did see from Raym, especially in the first half.
OG: Chris Murray - 65 - I can't say I saw him moving people around like he often can.
OT: Wanya Morris - 30 - Wow, I don't know if he got hurt in the second or what but he fell off a cliff.

Offensive Average: 67 (737)


DEFENSE:

DE: Jonah Laulu - 81 - I thought he was outstanding in the run game and had a few flashes in the pass.
DT: Isaiah Coe - 77 - Him going off hurt OU, thought the DL wasn't quite as dominant in the run game from there.
NT: Jalen Redmond - 81 - Kind of a quiet day but had a few decent moments.
DE: Ethan Downs - 79 - Kind of the same as REdmond, nothing really caught my eye but was solid enough.
LB: Danny Stutsman - 71 - Man, he was solid against the run but had some AWFUL moments against the pass BUUUUUT what about the pick? Tough score.
LB: David Ugwoegbu - 83 - I thought he had his best game of the year honestly.
CH: DaShaun White - 92 - Man, that was a career game for White, not sure he'll ever get his due but that was what OU hoped for from him.
CB: Woodi Washington - 88 - It wasn't an interception but he made a ton of quality plays and I thought tackled extremely well.
CB: Jaden Davis - 73 - Again, tackled well but thought he was giving up a bit too much space at times.
S: Justin Broiles - 84 - Great interception and had a few good moments before that as well.
S: Key Lawrence - 77 - Just missed an interception of his own but got beat in some coverage stuff.

Defensive Average: 80.5 (886)


SPECIAL TEAMS:

K: Zach Schmit - 100 - ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!
P: Michael Turk - 99 - Sure, sure, he was great...but did he score a touchdown?
KR: Jalil Farooq - 60 - The horizontal kickoff return is always a bad idea.
PR: Marvin Mims - 55 - For the most part did what he needed to but letting the one roll late in the fourth was an AWFUL choice.

Special Teams Average: 78.5 (314)


Key Reserves:

RB: Marcus Major - 65 - He just didn't look decisive at any point to me.
TE: Daniel Parker - 86 - I saw him a few times and people are telling me I should have watched him just bodying people, anxious for MMI.
CB: Gentry Williams - 78 - I liked his deep ball with Hutchinson, thought it showed a good feel for the fighting you CAN get away with (then got away with a late GRAB)
S: Trey Morrison - 80 - I'm just a fan of this guy's game. He isn't an immense talent but man he fights for every inch and makes some scrappy plays.

Reserves Average: 77.3 (309)


Team Average: 74.9 (2246)


My Overall Grade: 75


Breakdown: My averages and my score came out about the same because I think that's a lower level Big 12 contending performance right there. It's not pretty, it's not special but defenses that have played far worse than that have helped Oklahoma to Big 12 titles.

Now I'm a bit more concerned about the offense even though it was going against a game Iowa State group. When the defense needed stops it found them. When the offense needed plays, it couldn't come up with many. Now part of that is about Eric Gray and Marvin Mims not being full speed but there were still far too many lulls in play in the second half.

The offensive line had good moments but I want to go back and look at how much more aggressive Iowa State was being with it's back eight after about the midpoint of the second quarter.

All in all? A win is a win in a year like this, just keep stacking as many of them as you can.

Scoring Standard:

100-82: Playoff Contender
82-74: Big 12 Title Contender
74-65: Bowl Game Participant
65-0: 'I'll be hoooome for Christmas

rivals ranking:
2022 - 13
2021 - 35
2020 - 8
2019 - 13
2018 - 20

Just thought it was interesting.

Didn't we recruit that guy?

The guys is one hell of a player for Dallas. That Fumble for the TD was on Fields though, lol..... Great Play, if you seen the play of course

The Sooners traveled to Ames, Iowa, to face an Iowa State team that had lost four straight. But those were all close losses and the Sooners have a recent history of struggles against the Iowa State defense. It was also a case of wondering if the defense was going to show improvements after a bye week and some time to get fresh legs. It all worked out as the Sooners got a win 27-13. Jeff Lebby seemed to have Matt Campbell's offense figured out at times, but dropped passes and untimely penalties derailed some solid early drives. Thanks to kicker Zach Schmit, the Sooners took a 13-0 lead before Dillon Gabriel and the offense added more conventional TDs in the second half. The defense took a noticeable step forward as well although it wasn't perfect. Iowa State ended up throwing the ball 57 times on the day as the Sooners were stout against the run. But with three interceptions and the emergence of DaShaun White as the cheetah position, OU looked dominating at times. Iowa State did squeak back into the game, but Michael Turk finally made his presence known by pinning the Cyclones deep in their own territory late in the game. Overall a solid win and Carey and Eddie broke it down on this week's episode of the Eskridge Lexus postgame podcast.
