Oklahoma made some history last night: a thread

#Sooners
Dating back to at least 2000, no team has ever averaged at least 10 yards per pass attempt and 10 yards per carry in a single bowl game.

Oklahoma averaged 10 yards per pass and 10.9 yards per carry last night.
OU's 10.52 yards per play is the highest mark in any P5 bowl game, surpassing Cincinnati's 10.45 vs. Duke in the 2012 Belk Bowl.
Oklahoma's 10.9 yards per carry is a new single-game program record, beating a previous high of 10.67 vs. Kansas State in 1988.
OU's 10.9 yards per carry is also the 4th-highest mark in any bowl game since at least 2000.
10.9 yards per carry is by far the highest mark in any BCS or NY6 bowl since 2000, surpassing Georgia's 9.3 in the 2017 Rose Bowl (vs. OU).
Dating back to at least 2000, the most rushing yards Florida had surrendered in a single game was 351 to Mississippi State in 2000.

Oklahoma surpassed that easily with 10.9 yards per carry.
435 rushing yards by a single team is the second-most in any BCS or NY6 Bowl since at least 2000, trailing only Georgia Tech's 452 in the 2014 Orange Bowl.

Georgia Tech ran the ball 61 times in that game. Oklahoma ran the ball 40 times yesterday.
