Oklahoma 27, Kansas State 20
This game would be much easier to predict if we knew who Kansas State was starting under center. Skylar Thompson has been Oklahoma kryptonite over the last two years. Either way, whether Thompson or Howard plays, I still expect a Sooners win.
I predict the Sooners struggle on their first few possessions as they reacclimate to road play. But Marvin Mims will reemerge to score a touchdown , and the OU defense will once again muddy up the game.

Something has to give. That’s the best way I’d use to describe the state of the Oklahoma offense. Either they start to gel or they are going to lose a game that this defense or Gabe Brkic can’t bail them out of.
The offensive line play has to be better. Kansas State doesn’t have the individual talent West Virginia’s defensive line boasts but they play hard and together. Head coach Lincoln Riley says they are close. Can they show us?
If Wildcats QB Skylar Thompson plays, this could be another brawl where the game isn’t decided until the clock hits 0:00. If backup Will Howard plays I think it makes the Sooners job significantly more manageable.
Kennedy Brooks scores, Marvin Mims gets a touchdown Nik Bonitto shows up big again.

The offense for the Oklahoma Sooners may not be cooking on all cylinders at the moment, but this feels like the week that Lincoln Riley and the offensive staff cook something up to right the ship. It won’t be a 40 point effort, but it will look better and more importantly be enough to wi. The game
To hear Chris Klieman say it, Skylar Thompson’s unlikely to play this week. IF that’s true, then it would be Will Howard who dealt with injuries last week in their loss to Oklahoma state.
Regardless of who plays quarterback, the Wildcats still feature Deuce Vaughn. He’s a threat to score from anywhere on the field and will be a huge challenge for the Sooners. That being said, this Oklahoma Sooners defense is playing at such a high level right now that it’s hard to imagine the Wildcats putting up enough points to win.
