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.

Redshirt freshman QB Spencer Rattler threw three interceptions, the last one a game killer in the closing seconds of the game on a final drive that Oklahoma needed to avoid its first loss at home since 2017 to Iowa State.

You wouldn’t have known there were 19 Sooner players missing the game. 

When Oklahoma entered the second half they were dipping deep into a roster to find anyone who needed playing time, as the No. 5 Sooners breezed their way to a 48-0 shutout of Missouri State in the season opener.

It seemed like the usual Oklahoma blow out. But there was nothing usual about this.

In the hours before kickoff there was no backed-up traffic in the southbound lanes of I-35.
