AMES, Iowa - Jason White tied a school record with five touchdown passes while throwing for a career-high 384 yards. Mark Bradley returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, and Oklahoma played its usual dominating defense in beating Iowa State 53-7 on Saturday.
The Sooners piled up 613 yards in their third consecutive game with more than 50 points and can turn their attention to a showdown with Texas on Saturday.
Oklahoma went 79 yards in eight plays to take a 9-0 lead on White's pass to Jejuan Rankins. Rankins caught the ball at the 5, broke two tackles and squirted into the end zone.
One play after Derrick Strait recovered a fumble at the Cyclone 39, White hit Bradley in the end zone. Oklahoma made it 22-0 after White slipped as he dropped back to pass but regained his balance and threw a strike to Mark Clayton in the end zone with 28 seconds left in the half.
Bradley's kickoff return made it 46-7 in the fourth.
White had the fourth-most passing yards in school history, and the five touchdowns matched Josh Heupel, who did it twice in 1999. White's previous best for yardage was 343 against Baylor in 2001.
Iowa State's first 14 plays produced only 19 yards, and it totaled just 234.
Baylor gets rare victory
WACO, Texas - Aaron Karas threw three touchdowns, helping Baylor stun Colorado 42-30.
Rashad Armstrong ran for 166 yards and two touchdowns, including a 55-yarder that sealed one of the biggest upsets in the eight-year history of the conference.
"The defense was fired up. The offense was fired up, and the crowd was fired up," linebacker Justin Crooks said. "That's what wins you games."

Karas led the Bears to touchdowns on four of five possessions. The nonscore came on a drive that began with 59 seconds left and no timeouts at the end of the first half. Then the defense put Baylor ahead for good.
Derrick Cash sacked Erik Greenberg, forcing a fumble that Jamaal Harper returned 7 yards for a touchdown and 28-23 lead. Two snaps later, Greenberg fumbled a snap and Justin Crooks recovered, leading to a 3-yard touchdown by Armstrong and a 35-23 lead.
Colorado got within 35-30 when a botched punt by Baylor set up a 29-yard touchdown from Greenberg to Derek McCoy.
But on the first play of the fourth quarter, Crooks helped throw Brian Calhoun for a 2-yard loss on fourth down from the 1. The Bears then drove 97 yards, capped by Armstrong's 55-yard run that made it 42-30.
