Full transparency: I was preparing to write this article about something not pertaining to the on-field product of the Kansas-Oklahoma matchup.
The consensus coming into Saturday night was that Kansas wouldn’t be able to compete against the sixth-ranked Sooners, and frankly, the game had taken a back seat to the coaching search and reports of Les Miles being closing in on the open job.
Then Pooka Williams became arguably the most electrifying player on the field, and that included Heisman hopeful Kyler Murray. With every spin move, broken tackle, and burst-stop-and-change-direction-on-a-dime sequence I watched, I no more changed my mind than had it changed for me.
