Homecoming. Stoops was a co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Backs coach under Bill Snyder at Kansas St from 1989-’95 and he is 5-1 versus his former boss. Oklahoma smacked Kansas last week 35-13 and despite their 4-3 mark the losses are by a combined 5 points. With Bradford opting for surgery and the NFL Draft, QB Jones (PS#3, 4 starts this year averaging 195 yards per game, 61%, 13-6 ratio) will be at the helm of this Sooner offense for the next 3+ seasons. Kansas St handcuffed Colorado last week (allowed just 244 yards, and 90 of them on a late drive) and is the only Big 12 North team with fewer than 2 conference losses. QB Gregory (70 yards per game, 62%, 3-1 ratio) started last week playing the entire game and may have solidified the spot. Oklahoma is riding a 27 game home winning streak and has allowed just 7 points at home this year, outgaining foes on average 560-194 in Norman. Both schools like to run the ball (Oklahoma 144 yards per game, 3.8; Kansas St 187 yards per game, 4.2) but Oklahoma is better at stopping the rush (Oklahoma 70 yards per game, 2.2; Kansas St 101 yards per game, 3.4).
