"We gave them great field position, which is what the wishbone hopes for." Sims, who entered the game as the nation's fifth-leading rusher, had breakaway runs of 64 and 52 yards to set up a pair of second-quarter field goals for the Sooners. He scored a third-period touchdown on a 20-yard sprint. Running from the wishbone formation, Sims had 178 yards on 12 carries in the first half and had eight more attempts for 53 yards.

Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer put in a reserve backfield in the third quarter. Quarterback Thomas Lott ran for two first-half touchdowns and fullback Kenny King added one on a 15-yard run. Lott and King each sat out last week's game with injuries, and both left in the third quarter when they aggravated those bruises. Uwe von Schamann kicked field goals of 25 and 26 yards and kept his NCAA extra point record alive by booting four game personal record. He ran for 192 yards a week ago against Kansas.

Sims has moved well past the team high for air last season. "Billy had a great game. He's a very consistent runner," said Switzer. "Over-all, we played a pretty good game. I'm happy with the offense and defense." Switzer said quarterback Thomas Lott was held out of the final quarter to avoid recurrence of an ankle injury that game last week.

"Lott said he could play, but we decided not to chance anything by playing him," Switzer said. Lott sat out one play in the first half after a crunching tackle by Iowa State rover back Tom Perticone. "Both Lott and Kenny King were stung pretty good," Switzer said. "Iowa State's defense hits extremely hard." Iowa State Coach Earle fense, which leads the nation in rushing and scoring and is second in total offense, is the best in the Big Eight Conference. "Sims was outstanding one of the best running backs I've seen," Bruce said.

"Oklahoma has got superlative backs they can break a ball game open from any place- on the field. "That is just a super backfield. I've never seen the likes of one like it," Bruce con conversions to make it 103 straight. Iowa State's touchdown came on the first play of the second quarter when quarterback Walter Grant hit slot back Ray Hardee on a 46-yard play. The victory left Oklahoma with perfect records of 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big Eight, while Iowa State skidded to 4-3, including three straight conference losses.
