Norman-
The Oklahoma State Cowboys magnified Oklahoma's frustrations and erased 18 years of their own Saturday afternoon on Owen Field.

Stunning a sellout crowd of 75,004, OSU converted two interceptions into nine points and a 12-0 victory, the Cowboy's first over their Big Eight Conference neighbor since 1976.

Hundreds of fans stormed the field after the game to congratulate the Cowboys, who were hugged and hoisted upon shoulders for becoming the first team to shut out OU in 12 seasons and 140 games.

The triumph was OSU's second over the Sooners since 1966 Â– the clubs tied 15-15 three years ago Â– and its fourth in the past 31 meetings.

“For the OSU fans and alums and all the Aggies who have been agonizing, it's over,” said Cowboy rookie coach Bob Simmons, whose team improved to 3-7 overall and 2-4 in the league. “This is a big steppingstone for this program.”

And a significant downer for the Sooners, who, at 2-4 in the conference, are guaranteed of their first losing Big Eight record since going 3-4 in 1965.

In posting its first shutout over OU since 1945, OSU broke a nine-game losing streak over the Sooners in Norman.

The Cowboys sealed it in the fourth quarter with their only touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run by quarterback Tone' Jones that was set up on an interception by OSU cornerback R.W. McQuarters. A shovel pass for the two-point conversion from Greg Ivy to Geoff Grenier failed with 6:24 left in the contest.

“I still think they have a lot of talent,” Simmons said of the Sooners. “And I still think they are going to be good in the future. But the future for us is right now.”
