Oklahoma escapes lost to Baylor 37-30 2OT
Sooners edge Bears: Rhett Bomar threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Juaquin Iglesias in the second overtime to lift Oklahoma to a 37-30 win Saturday night against Baylor and maintain the Sooners' perfect record in the series.The Bears' hopes for their first win against Oklahoma ended when Shawn Bell's fourth-down pass fell incomplete. The Sooners rushed out onto the field in jubilation, and Baylor players walked to the locker room with their helmets in their hands. The win moved the Sooners (4-3, 3-1 Big 12) above .500 for the first time this season and continued an undefeated streak against Baylor, which has lost all 15 games against Oklahoma in a series dating back to 1901. The Bears (4-3, 1-3) rallied from 11 points down to pull within two on a 55-yard touchdown pass from Bell to Dominique Zeigler with 1:17 left. Bell then scrambled for the 2-point conversion to tie it. A desperation pass by Bomar fell incomplete as time expired in regulation, and the teams exchanged field goals in the first overtime period. After consecutive runs by Jacob Gutierrez to start the second overtime, Bomar dropped back on third-and-6 and found Iglesias in the right corner of the end zone. The completion gave him a career-high 269 passing yards and the Sooners the win. With Adrian Peterson out with a sprained ankle and backup Kejuan Jones suspended, Gutierrez was forced to make his first start at tailback and had 173 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries. (Yahoo!
