That was one of Bud Wilkinson's greatest teams, (they'd outscored 10 opponents279-49 and lost only to Texas by 14-15), but Syracuse, (who had outscored 9 opponents by 274-59 and lost only to Holy Cross by 13-14), pounded the ball up and down the field, outgaining the Sooners 311-245. But they hadn't learned to win yet. They had 4 turnovers to 1 and gave up a 42 yard run, a 79 yard pass and a 40 yard punt return and lost 6-21. The next year they were joined by Ernie Davis and won it all.
