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 …

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 …

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.

Oklahoma vs Kansas State Game Preview

Why Kansas State Will Win

What the heck was that?

Where was the Kansas State that dominated Missouri and looked like it was about to make a big run in the Big 12? That could still happen – it was a 17-10 loss to Tulane that obviously doesn’t matter in Big 12 play – and now the running game has to get working again.

The offense isn’t screwing up with just two turnovers and minimal penalties so far, the defense has been terrific on third downs – it’s third in the nation in passing efficiency defense – and overall the team is +5 in turnover margin.

Yes, Oklahoma has been great over the first three weeks, but it hasn’t actually played anyone with a pulse.

UTEP, Kent State, and yeah, Nebraska. Kansas State represents a massive step up in competition, but …

CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Oklahoma Will Win

What do you do against inferior competition? You drill them in easy games that get everything sharpened up for what’s coming.

Oklahoma has been close to flawless to start the Brent Venables era. It’s not the flashy team of the Lincoln Riley era, but the defense has been nasty and there hasn’t been a hint of drama so far.

One turnover. The Sooners lost a fumble against Nebraska, and like Kansas State, penalties aren’t an issue.

The pass rush and defensive front should be able to live in the Wildcat backfield, the run defense that’s allowing 2.8 yards per carry should be solid, and considering there’s little to no passing game to worry about, the secondary should be able to cheat up enough to make a difference.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas State has a funky style that could make this interesting.

It’s not going to screw up, and it’s going to hold the ball for over 35 minutes. However, the OU defense is playing well, there’s absolutely no downfield passing attack coming from Martinez, and the balance of the Sooner offensive O should be too much to overcome.
