By the Numbers: 10 Crazy Stats from Bedlam Include Most Yards OSU Has Ever Surrendered

Oklahoma State’s loss to Oklahoma on Saturday will undeniably draw out the stat most every Sooner fan can recite, which is the all-time Bedlam record: 87-18-7.

But there were others. Lots of them. Let’s get to the insane numbers from Saturday.

• Saturday’s 114 points in a 62-52 final was the most points scored in a game between the two in the history of the series, topping a previous record set in 2008, when OU won 61-41.

• OU is 23-9 when ESPN’s College Gameday is on site, including 12-2 in true road games. The Sooners have won every Bedlam match in which the show has been in Stillwater. OSU is now 1-6 in games College Gameday features it as the premiere matchup.

• OSU’s 52 points is the most it has ever scored in a loss in the history of the program.

• Justice Hill rushed for 228 yards against OU, the most ever by an OSU running back in the history of Bedlam. He breaks Barry Sanders’ long-held record of 215, which he set in 1988.

• Baker Mayfield and Mason Rudolph threw for a combined 1,046 yards and 10 TDs on Saturday. That’s an entire seasons stats for some (insert your favorite Big Ten QB here)!

• OSU’s defense limited Baker Mayfield to -9 yards rushing on Saturday, the fewest he’s had all season. It’s the third fewest rushing yards he’s ever recorded in a game in his career, behind a -15 rushing yard game against Clemson in the 2015 season, and a -20 yards rushing day last season against Iowa State.

• Oklahoma State finished the game with 661 total yards of offense, a new Bedlam record surpassing a 2002 total of 506. OSU won that game 38-28. Its 52 points is also a new Bedlam high which passes a previous record of 48 set in 2012.

• James Washington and Tyron Johnson’s 128-yard and 118-yard day, respectively, gives OSU its first-ever 100-yard receiving duo in a Bedlam game.

• The 785 yards of offense OSU gave up on defense are the most they have given up in the history of the program. The 10.3 yards per play are also the most surrendered in the Gundy era.
