OU vs. KState

Last week the Sooners got just what the doctor ordered in a convincing win on the road against a Big 12 darling. I went back and watched the tape and really it should have been more lopsided. The Sooners dropped two of the easiest interceptions of all time and one TCU player accounted for over 200 yards of TCU's net yardage and most of that happened on special teams.

What I'm saying here is the Sooners got back to work, got back on track and have an opportunity to build some more momentum today as they take on the turtle-neck, wind-breaker poster child Bill Snyder and his Kansas State Wildcats.

Surprise surprise I haven't watched much of K-State but let me take a stab at it. They have a QB who is mediocre but can probably run himself or the option in a pinch. They probably have a decent wide receiver. They'll play ball control. Defensively they'll play hard. It's the same team they've had for 30 years minus the NFL prospects.

OFFENSE

Kyler Murray continues to put up gaudy numbers but his game is improving. He's checking down receivers routinely and distributing the ball better. Look for more of the same today. Lee Morris and Austin Meier are two guys he has started getting in on the action.

Kennedy Brooks has emerged as the 2018 version of Rod Anderson. He's averaging a ludicrous 10+ yards per carry. It's pretty incredible to think that if you hold him to half his average it means you are still probably going to get your ass kicked.

I guess I'll ride the hot hand today and go Kennedy Brooks for OPOG. Trey Sermon is dinged up so Kennedy will likely be the guy.

DEFENSE

The jury is still very much out on this group and like I said last week nobody would have been surprised by a very strong performance. Can they build on it today against a team that frankly should offer every opportunity to get dominated?

Keep an eye out for Nate's favorite statistic, punts. Can the Sooner D get the Wildcats off the field. Ball control will be the 'Cats best defense so the Sooner D will have to make some plays on 3rd down.

I think I'll go with my man Kenneth Michael Murray again today, mostly because I can't think of anyone better. But, hopefully some guys start to stand out.

THE SCORE

This is going to be another slaughter. KState doesn't have near the horsepower on either side of the ball to be competitive and on a glorious sunny afternoon at home in Norman the Sooners are going to fire on all cylinders.

Sooners 63, K-State 14
