NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Baker Mayfield passed for 331 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 2 Oklahoma followed its impressive victory at Ohio State with a 56-14 win over Tulane on Saturday.

Oklahoma receiver CeeDee Lamb caught four passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns before he was ejected for targeting on a block in the second quarter. Marquise Brown had career highs of six catches for 155 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter for the Sooners (3-0).

Oklahoma finished with 631 yards, including 434 passing, but coach Lincoln Riley wasn’t satisfied.

“Offense was up and down the whole night,” he said. “At times got too aggressive between Baker and I. Excited about the win and ready to move on into Big 12 conference.”

The Sooners and Green Wave were tied at 14 in the second quarter before Oklahoma’s Parnell Motley returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown to turn the momentum for good. Oklahoma extended its nation-leading win streak to 13 games.
