Sooners back on course with 59-20 shellacking of Mountaineers

An Oklahoma offense clicking on all cylinders scored on its first five possessions while its defense held West Virginia to just seven points in that time, then went on to a 59-20 win that saw Dillon Gabriel become the first Sooner quarterback to score eight touchdowns in a game.

Gabriel passed for 423 yards and five touchdowns and ran for 50 yards and three scores. He surpassed the previous touchdown record of seven set by Baker Mayfield in 2016 and matched by Kyler Murray in 2018.

The KU win snapped an 18-game Sooner win streak in the series. It was the first defeat for the Sooners this season.

Kansas students brought the goal posts down in a mass of red and blue following the see-saw game.
