TULSA, Okla. -- Allen Patrick ran for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns, Sam Bradford threw two long touchdown passes to Juaquin Iglesias and No. 4 Oklahoma outraced Tulsa 62-21 Friday night.

DeMarco Murray added 2 touchdown runs and returned a kickoff for another TD.

The Sooners (4-0), the highest-scoring team in the nation, have put up at least 50 points in all four games. That's only the second time in school history they've had such a streak -- they also did it in 2003, capped by a 65-13 romp over Texas.

After Tulsa quickly moved downfield following an interception for an early lead, the Sooners scored on five straight first-half possessions.

Patrick high-stepped into the end zone on a 29-yard burst for a touchdown, and later pushed through from the 1 to make it 35-14.

Paul Smith threw for 2 scores and ran for another to lead Tulsa (2-1), which scored more touchdowns than Oklahoma's first three opponents combined. But its spread scheme -- brought from Arkansas by offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn -- couldn't keep up with all the Sooners' talent on offense.
