Oklahoma Sooners & Kansas State football game today: TV channel live stream
“Yeah, the offensive line worked hard this week”, said Gray. “Our character gets revealed in times of adversity”. The Jayhawks were a unanimous selection and are the favorite for the 14th time in conference history overall. “We have a lot of our goals still out in front of us, and we’re going to have a lot of opportunities to prove who we are”. Oklahoma went mostly to the air to get its lead, but the Sooners still pounded it in against the Wildcats to the tune of 232 yards on 52 carries. “We’re just not doing that right now”. “Just pushing them off the line and creating holes and separation for us to hit the hole”.
Player of the game: Mayfield played a almost flawless game, throwing for 235 yards and five touchdowns — in the first half.
“We’re just exhausted of losing”, defensive tackle Travis Britz told The Wichita Eagle.
Last year, kicker Michael Hunnicutt had his extra point blocked in the fourth quarter, which would have tied the game. We kind of got set up for this and just couldn’t respond in a more positive way. When OU was undefeated they were largely occupying the 11 a.m. timeslot.
Records: West Virginia 3-2, 0-2; Baylor 5-0, 2-0. They held their position on the field didn’t make silly mistakes resulting in constant turnovers. It abandoned using Jerrod Heard as a pass-first quarterback, instead, leading his offense to 313 yards rushing, picking up 115 yards himself. Since the Big 12 began competing as a 10-team league in 2011-12, every team picked eighth in the preseason poll has gone on to earn a NCAA bid (four consecutive seasons).
TCU’s threat to a Big 12 title poses questions as well. The Wildcats have home wins over South Dakota 34-0 and Louisiana Tech 39-33, and a road win at UTSA 30-3.
Kansas was picked first in the league with ninth first-place votes and 81 points, followed by Oklahoma with 70 points and Iowa State with 68 points and one first-place vote. Purdue has now dropped four in a row, beating only FCS Indiana State, and is 1-17 in Big Ten games under Hazell. The Jayhawks are last in the Big 12 in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Big plays hurt the Wildcats.
Oklahoma dominated Kansas State, 55-0, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Saturday.
Key stat: Mayfield completed 8 of 10 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
K-State’s first score was controversial.
Uh, what? (questionable decision): For a few reason Kansas State opened the game with three straight Joe Hubener passes. The Kansas State Wildcats ground game is averaging 180.2 yards per contest, and Justin Silmon leads the way with 282 yards and two touchdowns.
Since winning a national championship in 2000 and countless Big 12 championships, however, the mantra of “Big Game Bob” has slowly lost its luster. The road team is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings and the over is 6-1 in the last 7 meeting and is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Kansas State.
Scouting TCU: The third-ranked Horned Frogs are getting outstanding play from quarterback Trevone Boykin and receiver Josh Doctson. Wide out Sterling Shepard had a pair of touchdown receptions on 83 yards receiving.
Kansas State, meanwhile, is trying to figure out halftime adjustments. The rush capped a 7:42 drive which went for 53 yards on 12 plays.
With each passing week, though, that win which put Baker Mayfield on everyone’s radar (especially yours truly) is looking less impressive.
