Just maybe the Oklahoma State Cowboys aren't quite ready for the big-time.Faced with a chance to secure the program's first BCS bid, the 11th-ranked Cowboys were brought back to reality as Oklahoma continued its dominance over them with a stunning 27-0 win Saturday in the regular-season ending Bedlam rivarly game at Memorial Stadium.
The loss ended any chance the Cowboys (9-3, 6-2 Big 12), ranked No.12 in the latest BCS poll, had at making a major bowl with representatives from both the Fiesta and Orange Bowls in attendance. They can blame it on a disappointing offensive performance in which the Cowboys had their worse output in years.
Quarterback Zac Robinson, who returned after missing last week with head and shoulder injuries, passed for just 44 yards on 9-of-21 passing for the day. OSU mustered just 109 yards of total offense and went 0-for-14 on third down conversions for the day against the Sooners stout defense.
The Cowboys, who were coming off a three-game winning streak, managed just four yards of offense in the second half and did not have a first down after halftime.
Oklahoma, meanwhile , received outstanding performances from running back DeMarco Murray (two touchdowns) and receiver Ryan Broyles (nine catches for 103 yards), who had an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown in the game. OU quarterback Landry Jones completed 20-of-37 passes for 224 yards. The Sooners conclude a disappointing regular season with a 7-5, 5-3 record.
Oklahoma has now won a national-best 30 straight straight games at home and seven in a row in the Bedlam rivalry series.
