Kansas win over Oklahoma

Sport by : (PRESSBEE) -

Oklahoma looks to keep its unbeaten season alive when it heads to Kansas for a Big 12 clash Saturday. The Sooners are in complete control of the Big 12 right now thanks to their Red River Rivalry win against Texas a few weeks ago. OU is the only unbeaten team left in the conference and should be favorites in the rest of its remaining regular-season games. 

Oklahoma has aspirations beyond just the Big 12 Championship, though. The College Football Playoff race is still wide open. If Oklahoma is able to finish the regular season undefeated and capture a conference title, it will be hard to keep the Sooners out of the playoff field. 

Hail Mary attempt, securing its upset victory 38-33 and introducing bedlam to the Big 12 title race — the conference now has no remaining undefeated teams and a mix of one- and two-loss teams.

Dillon Gabriel threw just his third interception straight to Mello Dotson lurking in the flat, surging untouched along the left sideline for a 37-yard return touchdown that gave Kansas an early 7-0 lead. The Jayhawks doubled their lead early in the second quarter with a dominant ground drive — KU rushed on all six of its snaps across midfield en route to the end zone — and Oklahoma responded with a touchdown drive of its own heading into the aforementioned weather delay.

Oklahoma's momentum only grew after returning from the early intermission, as Tawee Walker capped off a dominant personal drive with a two-yard rushing score and Kansas' fumbled the ensuing kickoff, allowing the Sooners to capitalize on a short field and take their first lead of the game. With Gabriel limited to just 19 attempts by the elements, Walker was excellent in an increased role, taking 23 carries for 146 yards and a score.

Oklahoma will assuredly have to win out and capture the Big 12 title in order to give itself a chance at the College Football Playoff. The Jayhawks, meanwhile, kept their outside chance of making a run to the Big 12 championship game alive. Kansas will undoubtedly be back in the AP Top 25 when the poll is released on Sunday.
