An 18-game winning streak over the Kansas Jayhawks went up in smoke on a cold, wet day in Lawrence on Saturday. The Sooners fell 38-33 in frustrating fashion to the Jayhawks and are now 7-1 and 4-1 on the season.
Oklahoma still controls its own Big 12 title game destiny, but this loss stings.
Sure, they had a chance to win the game, but too many mistakes and poor play-calling also put them in a spot where they needed a last-second prayer to have a chance.
Tawee Walker was the bright spot in the game, but when he went down with an injury, the Sooners had no answers in the running game. And with a chance to ice the game with a one-point lead, offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby took the ball out of Dillon Gabriel’s hands when they needed a first down.
Credit is certainly due to the Kansas Jayhawks, but Oklahoma made enough mistakes to that they should feel as frustrated as the fan base with the loss.
And here’s how social media reacted to the performance.
