Oklahoma vs Kansas State Game Preview

Why Oklahoma Will Win

Wow.

Every once in a while, Oklahoma has been able to pull off something brilliant.

It boatraced Alabama, rolled past Kansas State the first time around, and a few days ago went into Ames and all but knocked out Iowa State – or, at least dealt an NCAA Tournament body blow – in a shocking 61-50 win.

It’s a good enough team to be at least competitive, but it all comes down to whether or not it hits its shots. Some teams can overcome cold shooting games. Oklahoma can’t.

The Sooners are 9-1 when making at least half of their shots, and …

Why Kansas State Will Win

They’re 5-14 when they don’t.

Kansas State couldn’t keep the Sooner attack in check in the 79-65 loss, but that 51% shooting day allowed was an aberration.

19-2 when allowing teams to hit fewer than 45% of their shots, the pressure from the defense should keep the Sooners from making 11 threes.

The defense is amazing at guarding at the perimeter, the free throw shooting will be there, and the O won’t hit just 4-of-20 in this meeting.

That, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas State doesn’t lose at home.

It has a huge problem on the road, but in Manhattan, forget about it.

It dropped the date against Texas a few weeks ago, but that’s it. The defense takes everything up a few notches and the ability to control the tempo has been better.

Oklahoma’s offense will have to get out of the mud that Kansas State will drag it through. It won’t happen. There will be a few spurts, but not enough of them.

Kansas State at Oklahoma Game Preview

Why Kansas State Will Win

Kansas State might be struggling lately, but it’s still going a solid job at guarding from the outside and it still moves the ball around as well as anyone in the country.

So what’s the problem in this run of four losses in the last six games? Playing Kansas and Iowa State on the road and dealing with Texas has something to do with it, but it’s having an issue with turnovers.

No problem here.

Oklahoma is a giveaway machine, and it does next to nothing to force errors. It’s on a run of four straight losses and seven in the last eight – with the one outlier win over No. 1 Alabama – but …

CFN College Basketball Rankings 1-68

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Sooners should be able to play in a low scoring drag.

Kansas State can pick up the tempo a wee bit, but it’s more than happy to play a tough battle that hangs in the 60s or lower. For all of Oklahoma’s problems, it’s great at guarding the three, and it doesn’t have to worry about a big Wildcat scoring run.

No, the OU defense doesn’t force a ton of turnovers, but Kansas State will still managed to give them away. It’s averaging over 14 a game, and the home side has to capitalize on every one of them.

But …

NCAA Tournament Bracket Projections

What’s Going To Happen

Free throws. Kansas State takes them – and makes them – and Oklahoma doesn’t.

The Wildcats averaging almost 17 made free throws per game, and Oklahoma makes about seven. It’s going to be close to that in this, too.

It’ll be close throughout, but in a low scoring battle, Kansas State’s free throw ability and skill at moving the ball around will be enough to get by.

2023 College Football Rankings 1-133: First Look

Oklahoma Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Sooners miss from the Big 12 slate?

There’s not a lot to get into a twist over.

There’s no missing fellow 2024 SEC brother Texas – that was never going to be off the slate – but missing defending Big 12 champ Kansas State is nice, and not having to play Texas Tech this season matters. Baylor is off the schedule, too – the Bears are missing both OU and Oklahoma State.

Out of the four new teams to the conference, the Sooners don’t have to play Houston, but …

Oklahoma Football Schedule What Really Matters

Oklahoma has to go to BYU late in the season.

Not only is the date in Provo tough no matter what, it comes at the end of a run of three road games in four weeks. Granted, one of the road trips is over in Stillwater against Oklahoma State, but still, that’s going to be a late-season grind before closing out with what should be a showdown against TCU.

However …

Oklahoma Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

If BYU is Oklahoma’s toughest road game outside of the state, there’s no real problem.

Yes, there are three road games in four weeks late in the season, but again, one of them is Oklahoma State – no stress on the travel there – and while Kansas and BYU are tough, a good Sooner team should be able to handle them.

Again, Texas is always going to be on the schedule and in Dallas. That’s obviously a neutral site game, one of the road games is at Tulsa, and the other is manageable against a rebuilding Cincinnati.

The non-conference slate is a breeze, the home slate is solid, and every sets up for a huge season if the team itself can bounce back quickly.

Sorry if this take sucks, it’s not my fault …

I still haven’t received the $100 million exit fee from Texas and Oklahoma to leave this column in 2024.

2023 College Football Rankings 1-133 First Look

Oh big deal. Like you watched the random Big 12 matchup when Texas or Oklahoma played, say, Baylor, and you don’t even know the Pac-12 Network exists.

USC and UCLA are going to be in the Big Ten in 2024?

Texas and Oklahoma are going to be in the SEC in 2024?

Great. Let’s do this already. Let’s get this party started.

I still don’t get how Texas and the Big Ten didn’t pop open a few beers, sit down, and figure it all out, but now it’s official. The Pac-12 and Big 12 are losing the anchor tenants at their respective malls.

In the new world of an expanded College Football Playoff that’s coming, the moves make sense. Progress is okay, and in this case, it’s all going to work great with the timing.

Do I think Texas will win the SEC Championship any time in the near future? Not really. That goes for Oklahoma, too. Whatever.

Either one could finish in the top 11 in the final 2024 College Football Playoff top 25 – the expanded CFP will take the top 12 ranked teams, but one of those will be a Group of Five champ that will probably be ranked outside of the top 12.

That goes for USC and UCLA with the Big Ten – just finish in the top 11, and football-wise and you’re all set.

All of them are all set in terms of revenue and even more explosion. And as I keep telling everyone over and over and over again, it’s going to be okay.

But the travel!

Whatever. The Big Ten teams get on a plane, take a nap, watch a movie, and they’re in LA. We should all be so lucky.

But the tradition!

Oklahoma was a Big 8 team in 1995 before the expansion to what eventually became the Big 12, and Texas was in the Southwest Conference until 1996.

USC and UCLA used to play in the Pac-10. Before that it was the Pac-8. And before that they were a part of the unfortunately-named American Association of Western Universities until 1968.

And everyone was fine. Everyone is going to be fine. It will take you 30 seconds after the ball gets kicked off to adjust.

What’s Next For College Expansion?

GAME … ON.

The Pac-12 has to do something fast, the Big 12 is circling the area looking to pick off more schools, and the Big Ten and SEC and drop the hammer and get just about anyone they really want at any time.

San Diego State. Get ready to be Southern California’s Pac-12 representation.

SMU. I honestly don’t understand why the Pac-12 is pitching so much woo to you – enrollment too small, it’s not like it’s a gateway school to landing more Texas-based teams – but apparently that’s about to be a thing.

UNLV should’ve been a Pac-12 school yesterday, and the Big 12 would be brilliant to go in and totally screw up the Pac-12 by getting there first.

All’s quiet on the Arizona and Arizona State front, but they’re well past ripe for the picking if the Pac-12 doesn’t lock down its media deal fast.

I’m screaming expansion malpractice on the SEC for not following the Big Ten’s move to the coast and not at least floating a three-bus sized public relations rumor about being interested in Oregon and Washington. (And that goes for the Big Ten, too, but it’s better at doing its thing in stealth mode.)

The Big 12 is insane for not grabbing USF to go along with the acquisition of UCF.

The Big Ten is even crazier for not getting Kansas already. And Colorado.

The SEC is nuts for not ponying up some of its cash to pay off whatever is needed for Clemson and/or Florida State to get out of their ACC deal.

That goes triple for North Carolina. That’s the one. That’s the dream of a whale everyone would love to land.

And then there’s the ACC. It had better find a way to put a ring on it and end this friends with benefits thing with Notre Dame as soon as possible, because once the lawyers and money men from other conferences figure out a way to pry the league’s members from the Grant of Rights deal …

But that’s what the rest of the offseason is for. For now, Texas and Oklahoma are going to be in the SEC after this season, and USC and UCLA are going to be in the Big Ten.

And you’re going to have fun watching it all. Really.

Cheez-It Bowl What Happened

– In a fun back-and-forth battle, Jordan Travis threw two touchdown passes and Treshaun Ward ran for two scores to help Florida State keep the pace, but it took a 32-yard Ryan Fitzgerald field goal with 55 seconds to play for a 35-32 lead. The Seminole defense was able to close.

– Oklahoma was missing a whole bunch of offensive parts, but the attack worked. Dillon Gabriel threw a touchdown pass and ran for another, and he engineered a 75-play fourth quarter scoring drive for a 32-25 lead. FSU answered with Travis’s second touchdown pass to tie it, and the two teams drafted field goals in the final four minutes.

Florida State’s final drive went 61 yards in six plays, highlighted by a phenomenal one-handed catch by Johnny Wilson. The Noles weren’t able to wind down the clock all the way, but it was enough to give Fitzgerald a shot to hit his game-winning field goal.

Cheez-It Bowl What It All Means

Florida State started the season strong, had a hard time in the middle, and closed with a bang. It would’ve been nice to have put this Cheez-It Bowl away earlier – Oklahoma really was down a ton of good players – but it was a strong win to keep the momentum going after closing out the regular season with five straight wins.

The win is a big deal. It’s the program’s first bowl victory since the 2017 Independence, and this closed out the first ten-win season since taking down the 2016 Orange. With the win, Florida State is 9-3 in bowls since 2007.

It might be a loss for Brent Venables and Oklahoma, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. The Sooners should’ve been blown out. They were missing enough guys in what amounted to a Florida State home game in Orlando. Even so, they battled to the final drive, the offense worked even with the new guys, and now there’s some positive momentum to build on.

Even so, Oklahoma lost four to its last five games in what turned out to be a losing season. After winning two straight bowls, now OU is 2-4 in its last six and 3-6 in its last nine.

Florida State vs Oklahoma Cheez-It Bowl 5 Things To Know

Cheez-It Bowl Prediction, What’s Going To Happen, History

There was a time not too terribly long ago when this was a national championship matchup. Okay, so it was over 20 years ago when they met for the BCS Championship – a 13-2 Oklahoma win – but these are still two powerhouse-infrastructure/expectation programs looking to use this as a possible launching pad.

This bowl hit a bad snag of really, really bad games from 2013 to 2019 when it was called the Russell Athletic Bowl and then the Camping World Bowl.

There were seven straight games of blowouts to various degrees, and then it became the Cheez-It Bowl. Oklahoma State beast Miami 37-34 in 2020, and last year Clemson pushed past Iowa State 20-13. These OU and FSU might keep it going.

Florida State might have turned a corner under head coach Mike Norvell, but it puled up out of a three-game losing streak nosedive to close with five straight wins induing a total domination of Miami and a shootout victory over Florida. Throw in the early season win over LSU and it’s been a great year. Winning this would be a sweetener.

Yeah, Oklahoma fell off a cliff. Lincoln Riley took the fun – and eventual Heisman winner Caleb Williams – out to LA, and Brent Venables was in charge of being the next star up to keep the program’s success going.

After a 3-0 start, OU lost six of its last nine games – including a 49-0 embarrassment against Texas – but it beat Oklahoma State, got bowl eligible, and now this is the first game of the rest of the program’s life.

Oklahoma’s recent bowl history is all about context. Yeah, it’s just 3-5 in its last eight, but four of those five were College Football Playoff losses. Under Riley it hung 55 on a depleted Florida team in the 2020 Cotton, and put 47 on a depleted Oregon in last year’s Alamo.

This signals the return to the bowl circuit for a Florida State program that was a given to get to one of these things since 1980. It missed out in the last two years after losing to Arizona State in the 2019 Sun, and it lost three of its last five – starting with a blowout loss to Oregon in the first ever College Football Playoff game – after winning three straight bowls.

CFN Experts CFP, NY6, Dec 28-Jan 2

Why Florida State Will Win The Cheez-It Bowl

Oklahoma is missing a few very, very important players.

RB Eric Gray is off to the next level, a few NFL-caliber offensive linemen – Anton Harrison and Wanya Morris – aren’t playing, and the defense loses some parts, too.

On the flip side, Florida State is getting back a few of its key players for this. It starts with QB Jordan Travis, continues with future NFL pass rusher Jared Verse, and in all, this is about as close to normal as FSU might get from here on for a bowl that’s not among the New Year’s Six elite.

The Seminoles will move the chains. The rushing attack under Norvell is doing what it’s supposed to, Travis is excellent on third downs, and it should all work against an Oklahoma defense that was last in the Big 12, struggles to get of the field, and doesn’t do much in the mix to help control the time of possession battle.

Yeah, the Sooner offense likes to move quickly, but it doesn’t help the D. The team is 0-5 when allowing 200 rushing yards or more. Florida State averages 218 yards per game on the ground.

Top 100 Bowl Players | Ranking Bowl Games So Far

Why Oklahoma Will Win The Cheez-It Bowl

Just keep up the pace.

The defense won’t be able to do much to slow down the Sooners, but even without Gray running the ball the offense should be able to keep up. There aren’t a lot of turnovers, there’s a good balance, and QB Dillon Gabriel is experienced enough to spread the ball around and keep the attack moving.

Yeah, Gray carried the workload, but there’s just enough of a rotation to go along with Gabriel getting on the move to potentially keep the Florida State defense honest.

As long as Gabriel is able to connect on the midrange throws and come up with manageable third down chances, this should be a back-and-forth fight.

The run defense has to sell out. Jordan Travis might be terrific at getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers, but everything chances for this OU D when it can hold on up front.

Just don’t get gouged, come up with a few takeaways – 5-2 when generating multiple turnovers – and …

This has been a grind of a year – losing five Big 12 games is never part of the plan – but easily getting by Oklahoma State for the 28-13 rivalry win was a huge help, at least the team’s going bowling, and now it’s about building for next year.

First they have to deal with the Texas Tech passing game. OU might give up plenty of yards, but it hasn’t allowed more than one touchdown pass in a game in over a month, the line is great at getting into the backfield, and the offense is working.

The passing attack has been good enough, the ground game has been great, and …

Why Texas Tech Will Win

The Texas Tech passing game still leads the Big 12 even after dealing with the Iowa State defense in a 14-10 win.

Granted, everything has cooled over the last month, but the offense got the ground game working against Kansas and the D held on to slip past Iowa State to get bowl eligible.

Now it’s time to have fun. The first year under Joey McGuire has been a success, the offense has been adaptable enough to find ways to keep everything moving, and now it’s about cranking up the points.

Texas Tech is 5-0 when scoring more than 31 points, but it might not need that many. Oklahoma is 1-5 when giving up more than 14, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Texas Tech will be balanced with the ground game going a bit against a Sooner defense that’s last in the Big 12 allowing 191 yards per game.

The offense will control the clock enough in the second half to hold on against the Oklahoma attack. It’ll be a back-and-forth fight with the Red Raider run defense struggling, and …

Texas Tech will hold on late. It’ll be a blast of an offensive show.

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Did the Cowboys really stop the slide?

They couldn’t get the offense scoring against Kansas State and Kansas on the road in two puzzling losses, and the struggles against Iowa State and its defense were expected. However, the defense was able to step up with five takeaways.

Oklahoma was able to avoid turnovers in the loss to West Virginia last week, but it’s having problems hanging on to the ball with nine giveaways in the previous four games.

The defense shouldn’t be a problem. The offense needs to get the ground game going right away against a Sooner defense that’s been pounded on for close to 500 yards over the last two weeks, but …

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Oklahoma State offense has crashed.

Yeah, the win over Iowa State was nice, but again, it wasn’t because the O worked – it came up with just 244 yards and couldn’t get the passing attack working.

And yeah, Oklahoma has had a few turnover problems, but Oklahoma State’s attack can’t stop giving it away. The Cowboy O moved the ball well enough against Kansas, but the four turnovers were devastating. That was coming off the mistake-filled shutout loss to Kansas State as part of a run of 12 turnovers in the last five games.

And Oklahoma needs them.

The Sooner defense might not be a rock, but it’s been great at forcing mistakes – eight takeaways in the last four games – to help out the offensive side that’s rumbling on the ground.

The Sooner passing game might be hit-or-miss, but Eric Gray and the rushing attack have been stellar.

Hold serve on D, with the turnover battle, run Gray, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The rough first season under Brent Venables could quickly take a turn for the positive by winning the Bedlam Series rivalry showdown over the Cowboys. The program is well past just being happy with being bowl eligible, but for now that’s not a bad mark to hit.

Oklahoma State’s offense will have too many problems against the OU defensive front that will get behind the line, Gray will be great, and the turnovers on both sides will matter.
