While it is natural to assume Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder spent the majority of his weekend deciphering every angle of Oklahoma’s most recent game, a 52-27 victory over TCU in which the Sooners debuted a new defensive coordinator, that’s not the matchup he focused on.
He was more fascinated by a different game on Oklahoma’s schedule — a 28-21 overtime victory against Army.
Snyder’s face lit up when asked about the peculiar game at his weekly news conference on Tuesday, and gushed over Army’s statistics. The Black Knights held the ball for a whopping 44 minutes, 41 seconds, ran the ball 78 times for 339 yards, limited Oklahoma’s vaunted offense to 355 yards on 40 plays and nearly won in regulation.
