The Oklahoma Sooners just keep winning games. It may not always be pretty, but here they are six days away from a date with their Red River rivals undefeated. College Football Playoff rankings will be making their appearance soon, and the Sooners are starting to build a strong case.

To stay undefeated, three guys elevated themselves to help the Sooners get over a foe that’s been quite a hassle the last few years. Let’s look at who stood out and earned one of our 3 stars from the 37-31 win over Kansas State.

Third Star – Isaiah Thomas, Defensive Line

Isaiah Thomas has proven that he is indispensable to this defense’s growth and evolution for two years in a row. He’s so versatile and can play inside and out.

Whether it was setting the edge or penetrating gaps and allowing his linebackers and safeties free to fill, he did it all against Kansas State. The absence of their other uber versatile defensive lineman Jalen Redmond has only highlighted how awesome Thomas is.

He finished with two tackles for loss and this sack of Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson in the red zone to force a Wildcats field goal.
