AMES, Iowa (AP) - This hasn't been a pleasant week at Oklahoma.

For the second time this season, the 14th-ranked Sooners (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) are coming off a tough home loss to a national title contender. Fourth-ranked Notre Dame stomped the Sooners 30-13 last weekend in Norman, and Kansas State's unbeaten march toward Miami has made even the Big 12 title a long shot.

Sounds about as good a time as any to get Iowa State.

Oklahoma's domination of the Cyclones (5-3, 2-3) has been nothing short of staggering. The Sooners, who face Iowa State on the road on Saturday, are 69-5-2 against the Cyclones and have lost to them just once in 42 years.
