The last time an Oklahoma football team lost to Kansas was 23 years ago, in 1997.
There was no danger of that happening on Saturday, as the Sooners completely dominated the Jayhawks in handing hapless Kansas its worst loss in a so-far winless season, 62-9.
Oklahoma’s oft-criticized defense took over the game in the early going with interceptions on back-to-back Kansas possessions, and the Big 12’s highest-scoring offense took over from there, burying the wounded Jayhawks in an avalanche of points — 31 in each half — that uncharacteristically reached its highest point in the final quarter.
