Through seven games in 2019, the Oklahoma Sooners reaped the benefits of a move to a new defense under coordinator Alex Grinch. Against the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday, the bill for the change was due.
The script of KSU’s win was familiar to upsets of the past. The Wildcats had possession of the ball for nearly 40 minutes, which kept OU’s dynamic offense on the sidelines for way too long. A couple turnovers put KSU inside the OU 25-yard line twice and led to 14 points. The Sooners settled for field goals instead of touchdowns too often.
