Sooners delayed eight hours by plane issues

The Oklahoma football team has been delayed for roughly six hours at Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport due to mechanical issues to a plane the Sooners were supposed to take to Manhattan, Kansas, for Saturday's game at Kansas State.

OU was scheduled to depart at 2:45 p.m. Central time on Friday but was delayed due to a late-arriving plane. A mechanical issue to the plane caused a further delay.

The Sooners spent their time waiting in the terminal watching film. It was unclear when they would be able to fly out.

Kickoff at Kansas State is scheduled for 3:30 p.
