A (Semi) Statistical Recap of Oklahoma

Related Topics: Oklahoma, Kansas

When the #3 team in the country has to cheat to beat you, you’re doing something right.

In an event that absolutely no one saw coming, Kansas shut out Oklahoma for two and a half quarters and maintained a lead going into the fourth quarter. Yes, even I thought KU would lose by 59 points.

While I was WAY off on the end result, I was right about how KU could make it competitive:

- Don’t punt (Mostly Check)

- Convert third and fourth downs (Mostly check)

- Get off the field on OU’s third and fourth downs (Mostly fail, thx refs)

- Control the clock (Check)

- Get Devin Neal going (Check)

- Put Bean in situations to succeed (Check)

- Divert the buses carrying OU’s first and second string (Fail)

- Be +8 in turnovers (Fail)

Almost everything went KU’s way - until it didn’t.
