Series History: Pokes Pound Iowa State at Home (Usually)

Oklahoma State takes on Iowa State in Stillwater this weekend, where the Cowboys haven’t lost to the Cyclones since Sage Rosenfels was slinging it around in 2000. That came just after the days of R.W. McQuarters running after Troy Davis in shoulder pads you could have hidden Dillon Stoner in!

Anyway, this century has been good to OSU. And especially the modern Gundy era other than that which shall not be spoken of. Here’s a look at the OSU-ISU series history.

• Overall series: OSU leads 31-18-3
• Under Gundy: OSU leads 8-2
• Longest streak: OSU — 6 games (2012-current)
• Biggest rout (ISU 54-0 in 1971)

Gundy has only lost twice to the ‘Clones. Once you know about. The other was a 37-10 thriller in 2005 at Jack Trice. Here’s a look at that incredible box score.

2005 wasn’t that long ago, guys! As for that 2000 game, Tatum Bell had nine carries for 43 yards, and Aso Pogi led the team in rushing TDs. Rashaun Woods had four catches for 63 yards and Gabe Lindsay (in his 19th year of college) had a receiving TD. So did Marcellus Rivers.

These series are always fun to look back on and get lost on Google with. This one was no different. Also, a question I thought of as I was researching: Would you trade all of OSU’s wins against Iowa State under Gundy for that one loss?

I think I might.
