Sorry but the story was too large to post on one thread due to technical difficulties.
10 IMPORTANT VICTORIES IN THE STOOPS ERA
Oklahoma 51, Texas A&M 6
Oct. 23, 1999 — Norman
This game served official notice that the Big 12 South had changed. The Sooners were coming off fourth-quarter collapses against Notre Dame and Texas, but dominated A&M start to finish.
Oklahoma 63, Texas 14
Oct. 7, 2000 — Dallas
Nobody saw this one coming. Quentin Griffin’s six rushing TDs, a steady Josh Heupel performance and a Rocky Calmus interception return for a touchdown put OU back in the national spotlight.
Oklahoma 31, Nebraska 14
Oct. 28, 2000 — Norman
After a decade of abuse and embarrassment at the hands of the Huskers, the Sooners scored 31 unanswered points and usurped Nebraska’s No. 1 ranking.
Oklahoma 27, Kansas State 24
Dec. 2, 2000 — Kansas City
Oklahoma had no claim on the Big 12. This was Bob Stoops’ first championship, keyed by big plays from Heupel (two TD passes, two option pitches to Griffin).
Oklahoma 13, Florida State 2
Jan. 3, 2001 — Miami
College football’s best offense was shut down by the game’s best defense, and Griffin’s 10-yard run after a turnover sealed the Sooners’ first title in 15 years.
Oklahoma 20, Alabama 13
Sept. 6, 2003 — Tuscaloosa
This wasn’t the powerhouse Tide of yesteryear (or today), but still stands as Stoops’ best road win. A gutsy fourth-down punt fake and a Jason White-to- Brandon Jones bomb clinched it.
Oklahoma 12, Texas 0
Oct. 9, 2004 — Dallas
UT hadn’t been shut out in 282 games, and there hadn’t been an OU-Texas shutout since ‘72. Adrian Peterson (225 yards) became the fourth Sooner to run for 200 against Texas.
Oklahoma 38, Missouri 17
Dec. 1, 2007 — San Antonio
Against No. 1-ranked Mizzou — 41-31 losers in Norman earlier in the year — the Sooners dominated the second half, won their fifth conference title and became the Big 12’s first repeat champion.
Oklahoma 61, Oklahoma State 41
Nov. 29, 2008 — Stillwater
OU won the BCS tiebreaker, then won its sixth Big 12 title and played for the national title.
Oklahoma 47, Oklahoma State 41
Nov. 27, 2010 — Stillwater
Another dramatic win in Stillwater, another threeway tie. This time, OU used a OU-OSU triumph to beat Nebraska for its seventh Big 12 title and finally won a BCS bowl game (against Connecticut).
