Oklahoma Sooners Football: OU escapes with a 35-23 win over Kansas

On a weird visit to the Sunflower State, the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners stumbled to a 35-23 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks (1-6, 0-4). With the win, OU improves to 8-0 on the season, 5-0 in Big 12 play and have some major problems that need to be addressed going forward.

It was a strange start in Lawrence. The contest didn’t begin on time because College GameDay ran long on ESPN. Then, during the Jayhawks’ opening drive, a campus-wide power outage caused the video board to shut down temporarily. All the while, Kansas executed its game plan to perfection, devouring clock and converting on third down (converted seven-of-nine opportunities).
