Iowa State Falls at No. 14 Oklahoma

NORMAN, Okla. - Iowa State fell at No. 14 Oklahoma Saturday night at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Dillon Gabriel passed for 366 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two scores as the Sooners downed Iowa State, 50-20.

Freshman quarterback Rocco Becht got off to a hot start, but finished with just 188 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. On Iowa State's third offensive play, Oklahoma's Billy Bowman intercepted Becht's pass and took it 44 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring 57 seconds in.

Iowa State (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) pulled to 21-17 on a 67-yard touchdown pass from Becht to Jayden Higgins, and Chase Contreraz's field goal made it 21-20 with 9:06 left in the second quarter. Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0) did not allow another point.

Gabriel found Drake Stoops in the back of the end zone for a touchdown with seven seconds left in the second quarter to put the Sooners up 40-20 at halftime. Iowa State was called for two holding penalties and one pass interference on the drive, and the Sooners scored anyway. The Sooners gained 339 yards in the first half, and Gabriel passed for two touchdowns and ran for two before the break.

Oklahoma scored again on the opening drive of the second half. Jayden Gibson's 41-yard touchdown grab from Gabriel on fourth down gave the Sooners a 47-20 lead.
