3 stars for Oklahoma in the Sooners' 28-21 over Iowa State

Oklahoma took care of business in its home finale of the 2021 season, beating Iowa State 28-21.

It sets up a Bedlam showdown against Oklahoma State that will be littered with Big 12 championship game and College Football Playoff implications.

“Really proud of the team. Gutsy team win. I think first for our seniors, our guys that played their last game in here. Always super, super important to us to send those guys out on the right note and very proud that the team was able to come together and get that done. Really proud of the response just of our football team after the loss last week,” Riley said.

Let’s take a look at three stars for Oklahoma in the Sooners’ win over the Cyclones.

Jalen Redmond

Any postgame awards have to start with the redshirt sophomore defensive lineman. Jalen Redmond finished with a pair of tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and one sack.

The Midwest City native showed off his athleticism on the game’s biggest play. Sophomore defensive back Key Lawrence closed in on Iowa State senior quarterback Brock Purdy just before halftime, jarred the football loose and Redmond scooped up the bouncing fumble and raced 42 yards into the end zone to give the Sooners a 14-7 halftime lead.

Rumble rumble rumble. Big boy can scoot!

“Oh man, it was exciting. I had one against Tulane and ended up tripping and falling on that one, so I had to get this one back. It was good. It was exciting. It was something to remember, especially on this night. Last home game,” Redmond said.
