Everything is looking up for the Oklahoma Sooners coming into their week four matchup with the Kansas State Wildcats.
The Sooners are 3-0, with three 30-point wins. They’re coming off of an impressive road win over old rival Nebraska in an absolutely dominating week three performance.
Hosting the Wildcats in primetime, the Sooners have another opportunity to make a statement in the early part of the 2022 season. Kansas State is a solid football team and is well coached, but simply looking at the early returns, the Sooners are the better team on paper.
Of course, that’s typically been the case over the years, and the Wildcats have found a way, even recently, to throw a wrench in Oklahoma’s plans.
The Sooners and Wildcats have played several tight football games over the last three years, with Kansas State holding a 2-1 edge during the Chris Kleiman era with K-State.
However, it’s a new day in Norman. The Sooners are a different team with a different DNA. They’ve got a defensive coaching staff that’s shown an ability to slow down the opponent’s top player and make adjustments on the fly to better put the team in a position to win.
The Sooners are double-digit favorites to win this week, can they live up to expectations, or will they play another close contest with Kansas State? Let’s see what the experts had to say.
