For some reason, OU apparently planned to play a basketball-on-grass game against a team that lined up to play smash-mouth football. K-State won that battle. Until late in the day, OU had no answer for K-State's old-style offense.
K-State won the turnover battle, with a pick coming after a crazy bounce off the hands of the receiver on a WR pass and a fumble recovery off of a pooch kick.
OU twice settled for FGs in or close to the red zone, so those were two wins for K-State.
K-State outscored OU 34-6 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. In the 3rd quarter, KSU scored 17 points and OU ran 6 plays.
I thought the tone was set when OU got the opening kickoff and--against one of the weaker rushing defenses in the Big 12--used nothing but passes and runs by Jalen Hurts to get down into the red zone, then settled for a FG. That was a win for K-State. We had just told them that we had no confidence in our ability to run the ball and that we were willing to settle for 3 rather than going for it on 4th and 3. And we made another statement of weakness and lack of confidence in passing incomplete on 3rd and 3 at the 27 to set up that situation.
K-State was winning every phase of the game until the last 10 minutes or so. But what OU did with that 10 minutes was too little too late.
So, Cat fans, wherever you are, great win! Congratulations.

Upsets are fun, when your team is not the victim. I was switching back and forth between games and got interested in this one.
The on side kick call was correct, but I think half a yard from being a likely OU comeback win.

pretty sure the Cats still have an issue with Stoops stealing coaches from the staff back when
-
I thought surely he had paid for those coaches by now.

Imagine some CFB world where there were no major upsets, every 15 point favorite always won.
I bet we'd not be fans. If you team won, say 47 in a row or something, it would get BORING.

Auburn's cigar curse has eclipsed 20 years now.

Holy smokes I just saw that isu almost came back to beat OU but failed to convert a 2 pt conversion at the end of the game. I went to bed (ok I fell asleep in my chair) and I thought OU had the game well in hand.
I think there’s a lot of 1 loss teams this year with a strong case.

Yeah ISU had a might big comeback. I was hoping OU would be the team to get Iowa Stated this year, looks like it's back on us.

Anyway, Herman moves to 3-0 against the Wildcats. Texas had never previously beaten KSU three times in a row. Perhaps the KSU Kurse of the Purple Wizard is no more?
