January 1, 1958 – Orange Bowl Stadium
 
Sooners Flurry Breaks Open Game
Fourth-ranked Oklahoma unleashed a furious attack in the fourth quarter, scoring 27 unanswered points to break open a close game against Duke.
 
With the score 21-14, Oklahoma capitalized on three Duke miscues, scoring three times in the next 3:23 and turning the game into a 48-21 rout. A crowd of 76,561 was on hand to witness the Sooners' third Orange Bowl victory in five years.
 
Following a Duke fumble and blocked kick, the Sooners used the combination of Brewster Hobby to David Baker and Baker to Hobby for two more scores.
 
In the first quarter, Baker's 94-yard interception return of a Bob Brodhead pass gave the Sooners a 7-0 lead and marked the longest such return in Orange Bowl history. The night's scoring ended on a similar play, a 68-yard interception return and lateral to Dick Carpenter at the Duke 30.
 
Although Oklahoma was penalized 150 yards and turned the ball over four times, it was never a factor in the game. Duke could not capitalize on three Sooner interceptions by turning the ball over four times.
