Out of Norman,,,, Not sure I see the "pattern" here. Looks like he just got beat by a better team.........
In four seasons as the Oklahoma football coach, Lincoln Riley has won 45 games and lost just eight times.
Three of those eight losses were in the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff, and all three were to teams from the Southeastern Conference.
The other five Oklahoma losses during Riley’s time as head coach were against Big 12 opponents, and four of the five came against just two teams.
Iowa State, the Big 12 regular-season champions a year ago, has beaten the Sooners twice since Riley took over the OU head coaching job in 2017 following Bob Stoops’ retirement.
