For the record: Oklahoma is 4-0, ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press poll and No. 4 in the USA Today poll.

Streaking: Oklahoma, coming off a 62-21 victory Friday night at Tulsa, has scored 50 or more points in all four games. That occurred only one other time in the program’s history – a four-game stretch in 2003.

Who’s hot: OU tailbacks. Senior Allen Patrick is averaging 9 yards per carry; freshman DeMarco Murray averages 5.8.

Who’s not: The Sooners ranked seventh among Big 12 teams in penalties entering last weekend and committed nine for 80 yards at Tulsa.

Key stat: Oklahoma is nation’s highest-scoring team: 61.5 points per game.

FYI: Colorado has lost five straight to the Sooners, dating to a 38-24 Buffaloes win in 1999 at Folsom Field.

Injury: Backup defensive end John Williams suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon against Tulsa.

Coachspeak: “I don’t care what the scores are, what statistics say. Everybody’s statistics at this point are skewed because of strength of schedule.” – OU coach Bob Stoops, on the Sooners averaging more than 60 points per game
