I am actually very interested in this matchup, mostly because both of these teams need this win in the worst way. Oklahoma (4-3, 1-3) is coming off a bye, following their 52-42 shootout win over Kansas. The good news for the Sooners is that their offense looked much better with quarterback Dillon Gabriel back in the lineup. The bad news is that their defense is still very suspect. Iowa State (3-4, 0-4) is also coming off of a bye after their heart-wrenching 24-21 loss to Texas. However, even in that loss, Iowa State showed some offensive life that was certainly missing in weeks prior.
