5. Oklahoma: With Sam Bradford’s college career likely over, Landry Jones will be the Sooners’ starter at quarterback again. The biggest immediate priority will be to get DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown back after the Sooners produced minus-16 yards rushing against Texas -- the worst total in school history. The Sooners’ defense played well enough to win, but couldn’t overcome late struggles with turnovers. The Sooners are 3-3 with their season on the brink. It will be interesting to see how Bob Stoops gets his team to respond to the rest of the season after its fourth loss to Texas in the past five seasons.
Definitely not in school history. Maybe in series history. But I recall Alabama holding us to -23 in 2002.

I also think there may have been a game or two in 1999 that came close.

I was going to question you on the -23 but you are correct. Works long runs at the end of that game were actually off of shovel passes. Hmmm.

BTW, what ever happened to the shovel pass. I miss it and it can really slow down an aggressive defense.

Some other skunkers I can think of...
99 Colorado and Texas
00 and 01 KSU
Though I'm not sure if any of those were worse than the Bama game?
