Defensive collapse opens door for a 38-35 K-State upset win

by

The absence of an experienced QB to pull wins out of scoring fests appears to be the Sooners’ Achilles heel this year.

That was evident on Saturday, when turnovers and penalties combined with a second-half collapse of Oklahoma’s defense gave Kansas State a 38-35 upset in Norman.

“Oh, I think we will play. I just don’t know how many people are going to be in the stands,” the man said, as he moved toward the plexi-glas barrier that separated customers fom the check out clerk.  

Then, he turned and said, “We got to play to pay for those other 20 something programs.”

That’s a good point.
