Bedlam Series

Bedlam Series
Oklahoma Sooners	Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls
Originated	1900 (track and field) 1904 (football)

The Bedlam Series (officially known for sponsorship purposes as The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Of Oklahoma Bedlam Series) refers to the athletics rivalry between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the Oklahoma State University Cowboys of the Big 12 Conference. Both schools were also members of the Big 8 Conference before the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1996, and both were divisional rivals in the Big 12 South Division prior to 2011.

History

The Bedlam Series

Oklahoma State (5)	Oklahoma (10)
2000–2001 2002–2003 2006–2007 2007–2008 2013–2014	1999–2000 2001–2002 2003–2004 2004–2005 2005–2006 2008–2009 2009–2010 2010–2011 2011–2012 2012–2013 2014-2015

The Bedlam Series is, like most other intrastate rivalries, a rivalry that goes beyond one or two sports. Both schools also have rivalries with other schools, though most of those rivalries are limited to one or two sports at the most. The rivalry is all the more intense since their games often decide the conference championship.

While the football and basketball games stand today as the marquee events in the Bedlam Series, the term "Bedlam" actually began with the rivalry between the schools' prestigious wrestling programs, more particularly the raucous crowds that attended the matches held at Oklahoma State's Gallagher-Iba Arena.

When the Bedlam Series gained Ford and the Bank of Oklahoma as corporate sponsors, the series became much more formalized. A points system was adopted in order to award a winner of the all athletic competitions combined between the two schools. A crystal bell trophy is awarded to individual Bedlam game winners (such as football), in addition to a trophy for the overall series champion for that year. The "Bedlam Bell" is modeled after the bell clapper in Old Central, the oldest building on Oklahoma State's campus. For a time, the actual bell clapper was a traveling trophy for the two schools, until the popularity of this tradition waned.

Football

The first Bedlam football game was held at Island Park, now known as Mineral Wells Park, in Guthrie, Oklahoma. It was a cold, and very windy day with the temperatures well below the freezing mark. At one moment in the game when the Oklahoma A&M Aggies were punting, the wind carried the ball backwards behind the kicker. If the Oklahoma A&M squad recovered the ball it would be a touchback and if the University of Oklahoma squad recovered it, it would be a touchdown. The ball kept going backwards and rolled down a hill into the half-frozen creek. Since a touchdown was at stake, members of both teams dove into the icy waters to recover the ball. A member of the OU team came out with the ball and downed it for a touchdown, eventually winning the game 75–0. Though this was not the source of the name "Bedlam", the scene was clearly an apt beginning for the Bedlam Series in football.

Author Steve Budin, whose father was a New York bookie, has recently publicized the claim that the 1954 Bedlam Game was fixed by mobsters in his book Bets, Drugs, and Rock & Roll (ISBN 1-60239-099-1). Allegedly, the mobsters threatened and paid off a cook to slip laxatives into a soup eaten by many OU Sooner starting players, causing them to fall violently ill in the days leading up to the game. OU was victorious in the end, but their 14–0 win did not cover the 20-point spread they had in their favor. However, many people involved in the 1954 contest do not recall any incident like the one purported by Bodin to have occurred.

Oklahoma currently leads the series 85–18–7. The series has historically been very lopsided in the Sooners' favor; Oklahoma State has defeated OU twice in a row just three times since World War II, and has never done it three times in a row.

On November 29, 2008, #11 Oklahoma State came into the 103rd Bedlam game ranked the highest they had been coming into the game since the 1984 matchup when they came in at #3, while #3 Oklahoma came in ranked the highest they had been coming into the game since the 2004 game just four years earlier, when they were #2. OSU was trying desperately to break their 5-year Bedlam losing streak and keep one of their best seasons in decades going, while OU was trying to make it into the Big 12 Championship Game, and then possibly the BCS National Championship Game.

The first quarter was the lowest scoring of the four; an interception of Oklahoma State junior QB Zac Robinson, a 20-yard TD-rush by Oklahoma sophomore RB DeMarco Murray, then later a 28-yard field goal by OSU sophomore kicker Dan Bailey ended the quarter with OU up 7-3. The second quarter was higher scoring than the first, but still less so than the last two. On a drive that started in the first quarter, the Cowboys scored a TD on a 23-yard pass from QB Robinson to sophomore RB Kendall Hunter. After the kickoff, the Sooners went on a 14 play, 79-yard drive highlighted by a 14-yard run by RB Murray to start off the drive, a 21-yard pass from sophomore QB Sam Bradford to Quentin Chaney, and a 2-yard TD-rush by junior RB Chris Brown to end the drive. This TD drive would mark the first in a line of six TD drives in a row by the Sooners. Following the next kickoff, Oklahoma State went on an 11 play, 39-yard drive to set up another Bailey field goal, this one a 44-yarder, to put the score at 14-13, Oklahoma. Oklahoma scored another TD to finish the half up 21-13. Again, the third quarter was higher scoring than the first two, but not as high as the fourth. OSU started the half with an eight play, 81-yard drive with a 6-yard TD pass from QB Robinson to sophomore WR Dez Bryant to finish it. After the TD, the score was 21-19, and the Cowboys decided to go for two. This turned out to be an ill-fated decision, however, because on the two-point conversion attempt, QB Robinson fumbled the ball, and it was recovered and returned all the way to the other endzone by OU freshman DE Frank Alexander for a safety, putting the Sooners up 23-19. Three plays into the next drive, Oklahoma junior TE Jermaine Gresham scored a TD on a 73-yard pass from QB Bradford. After another TD by each team, the third quarter ended at 37-26, OU. The fourth quarter proved to be the most exciting of the game, as more points were scored in this quarter than the entire first half. The quarter began on an Oklahoma State drive that started in the third quarter. QB Robinson completed a 38-yard pass to senior TE Brandon Pettigrew, and two plays later he completed another pass to WR Bryant for a 17-yard TD. OSU decided to try for another two point conversion, and this time it paid off with Robinson again connecting with Bryant to make the score 37-34, Sooners up by three. The momentum the Cowboys got on those eight points would be short lived, however, as Oklahoma RB Murray returned the following kickoff 68 yards to the Oklahoma State 27-yard line. Six plays later, the last being a one-yard pass from Bradford to junior TE Brody Eldridge for the TD, and OU was again up by 10. But, on the ensuing kickoff, OSU junior KR/CB Perrish Cox ran it back 90 yards for the TD to make the score 44-41 and put the Cowboys within three points again. Unfortunately for Oklahoma State, that would be their final score, as the Sooners would score 17 unanswered points to win the game, 61-41.

Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford threw 30-44, his second most completions and attempts of his career, but his two TDs tied for his least of the season, and his passer rating of 148.7 was his second worst of the season. Oklahoma State's QB Zac Robinson had a pretty average passing game, but his running game was one of the best of his career. His 17 rushing attempts tied his most of his career, his 90 yards was his most of the season, his 5.3 yards per rush was his second most of the season, and his 31-yard rush was his longest of the season. OU TE Jermaine Gresham's nine receptions and 158 yards were the most of his career, his two TDs were tied for the second most of his career, and his 71-yard reception was the longest of his career. OSU RB Kendall Hunter's five receptions and 46 yards were the most of his career, and his receiving TD was only the second of his career. The combined score of 102 points is the most points ever scored in a Bedlam game. OSU's 41 points were the most they scored in a Bedlam game since the 1998 matchup when they beat Oklahoma, 41-26. This marked the Sooners 80th win in the Bedlam Series, which was five times as many as Oklahoma State had at the time. The win propelled Oklahoma into the Big 12 Championship game, helped Sam Bradford win his Heisman, and then on to the BCS National Championship Game, where they'd lose to Florida. OSU would finish fourth in the Big 12 South and go to the Holiday Bowl, where they'd be upset by Oregon.

In front of the largest crowd to see a Bedlam game to that point, a total 85,606 people, #12 Oklahoma State came to Norman to try and break their 6-year Bedlam losing streak while also trying to get into their first BCS bowl, while unranked Oklahoma was trying to keep that streak alive and upset the Cowboys. This was only the third time in the 104-year history of the Bedlam Series that OSU was ranked higher than OU going into the game. The last time it happened was the 1997 matchup, when #25 Oklahoma State beat the unranked Sooners in Norman, 30-7.

The first quarter went scoreless with both teams trading punts. One minute and 15 seconds into the second quarter, Oklahoma kicker Patrick O'Hara kicked a 24-yard field goal to put OU up by 3. After forcing Oklahoma State to punt, the Sooners had the ball back and were looking to get some more points. Two passes from Oklahoma freshman QB Landry Jones to sophomore WR Ryan Broyles for a total gain of 52 yard, and then a 13-yard rush by junior RB DeMarco Murray, and OU had a TD to put them up 10-0. Halftime came without another score. On the opening drive of the second half, the Sooners went 78 yards on 18 plays, which included an 18-yard pass to Broyles, a 10-yard rush by senior RB Chris Brown, a 16-yard pass to WR Cameron Kenney, and a 19-yard field goal by O'Hara to finish the drive and put them up, 13-0. After the kickoff and a punt by each team, Oklahoma State had the ball on their own 27-yard line. On the first play of the drive, OSU senior QB Zac Robinson was picked off by junior safety Jonathan Nelson on the 50-yard line, who then returned it 37 yards to the Cowboys 13-yard line. Two rushes later by RB Murray, and the Sooners were up 20-0. The final score of the game came on an 87-yard punt return for a TD by Broyles midway into the fourth quarter.

Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray's two TDs tied for his most of the season, and Oklahoma State RB Keith Toston's 47 yards were his least since the previous Bedlam game in 2010. Amazingly, OSU went 0-14 on third down conversions, didn't even try to go for it on fourth down, and didn't have a single first down in the first half. This was the first shutout in the series since 1995, and the first time Oklahoma State was shutout in the Bedlam game since '93. After the regular season, the Cowboys would go to the Cotton Bowl, where they'd be upset by Ole Miss, and OU would go to the Sun Bowl, where they'd upset Stanford.

The 105th Bedlam game was played in Stillwater, OK on November 27, 2010. #9 Oklahoma State was looking to beat #13 Oklahoma and break their seven-year Bedlam losing streak. This was only the fourth time in the entire series that OSU came into the game ranked higher than OU, the last time coming in the previous season.

The game began with Oklahoma receiving the kickoff. After a punt by each team, OU had the ball back on their own 18 yard-line. The Sooners went on an 82-yard drive that was highlighted by an 18-yard rush by senior running back DeMarco Murray and a 25-yard pass from sophomore QB Landry Jones to junior WR Ryan Broyles, and ended with a 6-yard TD run by freshman FB Trey Millard. A few drives later, Oklahoma State was on the board with a 23-yard field goal by senior kicker Dan Bailey, and the first quarter would end with Oklahoma up 7-3. A drive that started in the first quarter ended with Jones throwing a 2-yard TD pass to Broyles. On the next drive, OSU junior QB Brandon Weeden was intercepted by senior DB Quinton Carter at the Oklahoma 45 yard-line. But just three plays later, Jones was intercepted by freshman LB Shaun Lewis, who would take it back 52 yards for a Cowboy TD. Several drives later and a TD by each team, the half would end with OU up, 24-17. The third quarter was the lowest scoring of the four, with the lone score by Oklahoma State coming on the first drive. This was an 8-play, 80-yard drive capped off with a 20-yard pass from Weeden to junior WR Josh Cooper for the TD. The fourth quarter began with the teams tied at 24. The Sooners scored three field goals to put them up by nine, and then madness ensued. After a one-minute and 46 second drive, OSU would score a TD that would begin a 92-second period where two touchdowns were scored by each team. The first came by the Cowboys on their drive, and the next on an 86-yard pass from Jones to WR Cameron Kenney. Oklahoma State kick returner Justin Gilbert would return the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a TD, and then on the very next drive, Jones would throw yet another long TD pass, this one for 76 yards to junior TE James Hanna. OSU was only able to get a field goal, and after a failed onside kick, Oklahoma ended the game with a thrilling 47-41 victory.

Oklahoma QB Landry Jones' 468 yards, 86-yard long, 37 completions and 62 attempts were all career highs, and his four TDs were tied for the second most of his career, but his three interceptions were the second most of his career, and his 57.1% completion was his second worst of the season. Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden's 257 yards were his second least of the season, his three interceptions were the most of his career, and his passer rating of 116.7 was the worst of his career. Cowboy RB Kendall Hunter's 55 yards were the second least of his season, and his 4.2 average yards per rush was the lowest of his season. OU RB Roy Finch's 16 rush attempts were tied for the most of his career, and Sooner WR Cameron Kenney's 6 receptions, 141 yards and two TDs were all career highs. Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon's 105 yards receiving were the least of his season. The win put OU into the Big 12 Championship game, and then into the Fiesta Bowl, where they beat Connecticut. OSU went on to the Alamo Bowl and beat Arizona.

The 106th Bedlam game drew the largest crowd to ever watch a Bedlam game in Stillwater, a total of 58,141 people. Coming into the game at #3 and #10, the two teams tied for the second highest average ranking (6.5) in series history, behind the 1984 matchup and tied with the 1987 game. OSU's #3 ranking was the highest it was ranked coming into the Bedlam game since 1984. This year, Oklahoma State was looking to beat Oklahoma for the first time since 2002, while also trying to win their first outright conference title since 1948 in the three-team Missouri Valley conference. Oklahoma, on the other hand, was trying to upset OSU for the third year in a row and get their ninth Bedlam win in a row, which would also get them a share of their 8th Big 12 title and their second in a row. This was only the 5th time in the 106-year history of the Bedlam Series that OSU was ranked higher than OU going into the game. The last time was the year before, when the #14 Sooners upset the #10 Cowboys in Stillwater.

The game started out great for Oklahoma State, and pretty much stayed that way. After three punts (two by Oklahoma and one by OSU), the Cowboys finally put it into the endzone. On the following drive, OU junior QB Landry Jones was intercepted in the OSU endzone by Oklahoma State defender Broderick Brown. The Cowboys brought it all the way to the Sooner 8-yard line but were forced to settle for a field goal. After two punts by each team, QB Jones fumbled the football at the Oklahoma State 19-yard line, and OSU DE Jamie Blatnick returned it to the Sooner 1-yard line. On the next play, sophomore RB Joseph Randle took it in for the score to make it 17-0, OSU. The second half ended at 24-3, Cowboys up by 21. The third quarter was even more lopsided than the first two. Oklahoma State scored 20 points to go into the fourth quarter up by a score of 44-3. The final score came with under 2:40 left in the game, when OU backup freshman QB Blake Bell scored on a meaningless 28-yard rushing TD.

Oklahoma State RB Joseph Randle's 151 rushing yards were his second most of the season. Oklahoma QB Landry Jones' passer rating of 88 was his lowest since Oklahoma's loss to Nebraska in 2009 in his freshman season. His 250 yards was his second lowest of the season behind only his 199 yards against Florida State and his two interceptions were tied for the most of his season. Also, his 23-yard longest pass was his shortest longest pass in a game he started in his entire career. OSU RB Jeremy Smith's 119 yards were his second most of the season, and his two TDs tied for the most of his season. The final score of 44-10 was the most points Oklahoma State had scored and the largest margin of victory the Cowboys had had since the 1945 Bedlam game, when #6 Oklahoma State demolished unranked OU, 47-0. OSU won their first Big 12 title and went on to their first BCS bowl game, where they beat Stanford in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl. The Sooners went to the Insight Bowl and beat Iowa.

In front of a Bedlam- record crowd of 85,824 in Norman, OK, #21 Oklahoma State was looking to pull an upset and win their second Bedlam game in a row for the first time since 2002, while #13 Oklahoma was trying to solidify their chance at getting at least a share of the conference title. This was the first Bedlam game in the series to go into overtime; there had been seven ties, but they had all come before the OT rules had been put into place in the 1995 bowl season. Oklahoma senior QB Landry Jones was making his fourth start in a Bedlam game. The only other person to have done that was the current Oklahoma State coach, Mike Gundy, when he played for the Cowboys in the late 80s.

Oklahoma never led during regulation, coming back to tie it up after double digit deficits in both halves. The game started out with a missed OU field goal and then a punt by both teams. Three drives later, one ending in an interception of quarterback Jones and the other two by Oklahoma State touchdowns, OSU was up, 14-0. A few drives later and a field goal by each team, the Cowboys were still up, 17-3, but the Sooners were starting a comeback. After the Oklahoma State field goal, Oklahoma went on a 57-yard TD-scoring drive to make it 17-10. On the next drive, OU CB Aaron Colvin intercepted OSU QB Clint Chelf at the Oklahoma 19-yard line. Two minutes and 17 seconds later, QB Jones scored his second TD of the game to tie it up at 17 all. The first half ended tied at 24. Just like the first half, OSU started off great, scoring a TD on a 75-yard pass on the first offensive play of the third quarter. OU would respond with a field goal. After a punt by both teams, OU fumbled and it was recovered by OSU, and then brought into the endzone to put the Cowboys up, 38-27. But again, the Sooners came back; following a field goal, an 81-yard punt return for a TD, then a successful two-point conversion, the scored was tied yet again. After another punt by each team, OSU scored their final TD of the game to put them up, 45-38. Following a turnover on downs by the Sooners and yet another punt by the Cowboys, OU had the ball back on their own 14-yard line with 6:18 left in the game. What followed was perhaps the most exciting drive of the whole game. Slowly and steadily, Oklahoma made their way to the Oklahoma State 4-yard line. It was fourth and one with less than 30 seconds left in the game, and OU decided to use their successful "Belldozer" package, which consisted of putting in their 6'6", 254 lb. backup sophomore QB Blake Bell to run for short yardage. Not only did he make the first down, he made it into the endzone, and, after a successful extra point, the game was sent into OT with the score tied up at 45-45. Oklahoma won the coin toss, and chose to take second possession. Four plays into the first OT period, it was third and six at the nine-yard line, and OU somehow found a way to breakup the Clint Chelf pass to WR Blake Jackson and force Oklahoma State to kick a field goal. The Sooners' possession went much quicker than that. Following a seven-yard rush by FB Trey Millard, RB Brennan Clay ran 18 yards into the endzone, and the 107th Bedlam game was over.

Oklahoma QB Landry Jones threw 46 for 71 (both school records), 3 TDs and 500 yards (his second 500-yard game in a row) to bring his career total to 16,124 yards and to pass Texas Tech's Graham Harrell to become the Big 12's all-time leader in career passing yards. Two games later he'd finish his career with 16,646 total yards. Oklahoma State RB Joseph Randle's 4 TDs tied for the most of his career, and OU WR Justin Brown's 15 receptions tied the school record for most receptions in a game with Jalen Saunders' receptions in the Notre Dame game earlier in the season and Ryan Broyles' number in a game against Iowa State in 2010. The combined score of 99 points is the second most in a Bedlam game, behind only the 102 points scored in the 2008 matchup. The 48 points Oklahoma State scored were the most they had ever scored in a Bedlam game, both in a loss or a win. The win gave the Sooners their eighth Big 12 title and a bid to the Cotton Bowl, where they were defeated by Texas A&M. OSU went on to the Heart of Dallas Bowl, where they crushed unranked Purdue.

On December 7, 2013, the latest in the year a Bedlam game has been played to date, #17 Oklahoma was looking to upset their rival in Stillwater to possibly get an at-large bid for a BCS bowl, while #6 Oklahoma State was attempting to beat OU for just the second time in 11 years, which would also give them their second Big 12 title in the past three years. The Sooners' #17 ranking was their lowest coming into the game since 2009, when they were unranked. The game was played before a crowd of 58,520, the largest crowd to see a Stillwater-Bedlam game in history. This was only the sixth time in the 108-year history of the Bedlam Series that OSU came into the game ranked higher than Oklahoma, but it was the third time in the past five years.

Following a touchback by OU junior kicker Michael Hunnicutt, the Cowboys had the ball at their own 25-yard line. On the very first play of the game, Oklahoma State junior RB Desmond Roland ran it 75 yards for a touchdown, but it was called back for a holding penalty on OSU senior WR Charlie Moore. The drive would end as a three-and-out, and after the two teams traded punts a few times, the Cowboys had the ball back at their own one-yard line. A 99-yard TD drive ensued, highlighted by a 23-yard rush by Roland, a 20-yard pass from senior quarterback Clint Chelf to junior WR Josh Stewart, and a one-yard rush by Roland for the TD to put OSU up by seven. After the kickoff and, a few plays later, a punt by the Sooners, OSU had the ball back, but proceeded to go three-and-out. On the ensuing punt return, senior PR/WR Jalen Saunders ran the ball 64 yards for a TD, tying the game at seven. This was Saunders' second year in a row to return a punt for a TD in the Bedlam game. The first quarter would end tied at 7. On the first drive of the second quarter, the Cowboys marched all the way to OU's eight-yard line, but after deciding to go for it on fourth down on the one, RB Roland was stopped short at the two. The half would later end after a field goal by both teams with a score of 10 all. The second half started with sophomore backup QB Kendal Thompson leading the Sooners after the starter, redshirt freshman Trevor Knight, was sidelined with an injury. On the very first play, however, Thompson was intercepted by sophomore CB Kevin Peterson at the Oklahoma State 18-yard line. OSU scored on the following drive on a 15-yard pass from QB Chelf to RB Roland. Five punts later (three by Oklahoma, two by the Cowboys), Oklahoma State had the ball back, but Chelf was soon intercepted by junior DB Julian Wilson at the OU 40-yard line. Halfway through the following drive by the Sooners, the coaches decided to replace QB Thompson with junior QB Blake Bell, who had started eight games earlier in the season. On the drive, Oklahoma made it all the way to the OSU seven-yard line, but after three plays and a loss of a yard, it was fourth down, and they decided to kick a field goal. But when the ball was snapped, holder Grant Bothun rolled to the left and threw a TD pass to the kicker, Hunnicutt, on a fake field goal, tying the score at 17-17. The third quarter ended soon, and after another field goal by OU and a late TD by Roland for the Cowboys, the Sooners were down 24-20 with the ball at their own 34-yard line with 1:46 remaining on the clock. After seven pass plays, one appearing to be intercepted, but ruled incomplete, Oklahoma had made it all the way to the Oklahoma State seven-yard line. One play later, Bell connected with Saunders for the game-winning TD. The game would end with OU sophomore LB Eric Striker scoring a meaningless TD after picking up a fumble on a desperate lateral attempt by OSU. In the celebration following the win, a Cowboy cheerleader attempted to trip Striker, and the Sooners were pelted with snowballs and other items by the rival crowd.

Oklahoma State QB Clint Chelf's 19 completions tied for the most of his season up to that point, and his 35 attempts were the second most of his season up to that point. Oklahoma senior RB Brennan Clay's 24 rushes tied for the second most of his career, but his 2.9 yards per rush was the worst of his career in games with 16 or more rushes. OSU RB Desmond Roland's 144 yards rushing was the second most of his career, his 6.9 yards per rush was the second most of his career in games with 10 or more rushes, and his two receptions were the most of his career. OU sophomore WR Sterling Shepard's 112 yards receiving were the second most of his career, his seven receptions tied for the second most of his career, and his 57-yard reception was the longest of his career. The upset gave the Sooners an unlikely bid to play in the Sugar Bowl, where they stunned #3 Alabama. The Cowboys went on to play in the Cotton Bowl, where they lost to former Big 12 rival Missouri.

On November 28, 2015, #3 Oklahoma headed to Stillwater to play rival #11 Oklahoma State for the Big 12 title and a possible spot in the College Football Playoff in what could be the Bedlam game in history, as College Gameday went to Stillwater, as Corso picked the Pokes to win.
