Oklahoma withstands Iowa State for 34-24 win

Baker Mayfield threw for 328 yards and four touchdowns, and the 12th-ranked Oklahoma football team held off Iowa State 34-24 on Thursday night in Ames, Iowa, for its sixth straight victory.

Dede Westbrook caught seven passes for 131 yards and a score for the Sooners (7-2, 6-0 Big 12). They beat the Cyclones (1-8, 0-6) for the 18th time in a row and the 74th time in 81 meetings.

Oklahoma’s defense stiffened after some early struggles, allowing just seven points in the second half.

 Florida State offensive lineman Landon Dickerson will miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his right knee during practice earlier this week. Dickerson started the past seven games at right guard.
