a season-low 104 yards. Running back Allen Patrick ran for a career-best 202 yards after coming off his worst game of his career against Texas Tech. Sam Bradford completed 11 of his 15 pass attempts for 150 yards and added four touchdown passes to his total which then stood at 32. The four TD passes he threw was the same amount of incompletions he threw. Linebacker Curtis Lofton was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance which included nine tackles and a forced fumble.
