Oklahoma entered Saturday's matchup at Kansas as 38.5-point favorites, but the afternoon in Lawrence was anything but a cakewalk for Lincoln Riley and the Sooners.
Kansas seized a 10–0 lead at halftime as Oklahoma's offense struggled, and even a surge from the potent Sooners offense couldn't put the Jayhawks away late. Kansas answered an Oklahoma touchdown in the fourth quarter with a score of its own with 5:53 remaining, and it had the opportunity to regain possession down 28–23 in the final minutes. But when the Sooners needed it most, Superman delivered.
Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams stole the ball from teammate Kennedy Brooks as the running back was held up behind the line of scrimmage on fourth down with 3:28 to play.
