OU's offense is absolute horse
right now. I think 20 points will win this game, maybe less. It will come down to turnovers.
Our passing game while at times impotent rarely turns the ball over, just once in 4 big 12 games. Our running game has fumbled 9 times and lost 4 of them. OU has thrown 3 INTs in conference play and has coughed the ball up 7 times while losing three.
Both defenses are ballhawking. KSU has picked off 6 passes in league play while causing 10 fumbles and recovering 3. OU has picked off 6 passes and caused 3 fumbles recovering 2.
Keep in mind KSU has played in 4 games while OU has only played three. Still with OU using back-up QB, RB and having a ragged O-line there should be plenty of chances for KSU to grab some OU turnovers, especially if the Cats can manage to get ahead early in the game(a tall order).
KSU will have to pass(middle screens, quick hits to TE, misdirection roll outs.(remember Brandon Clark running wild against the sooners in 2001) the ball from time to time to keep this OU D at least somewhat at bay against the run but we really need to "manage" this game, to have a chance to win. If we can get ahead and make OU abandon their running game as they have been known to do this season we have a decent shot.
