Oklahoma State vs Kansas Prediction
Last time out, Oklahoma State visited #22 Kansas State and were embarrassed, losing 48-0. This was a complete no-contest as Kansas State scored 14 quick points in the first quarter and led 35-0 at the half. The Kansas State defense was all over the place and did not allow this potent Cowboys offense to score a single point. An impressive performance by Kansas State and a pathetic one by Oklahoma State. The Cowboys passed the ball for 163 yards and ran the ball 30 times for just 54 yards. Defensively, the Cowboys allowed 495 total yards and did not force any Kansas State turnovers.
Kansas visited the Baylor Bears and left with a disappointing 35-23 defeat. Baylor jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and led 28-3 at the half. The Jayhawks fought back with 20 unanswered points in the second half, but Baylor ended any hope with a touchdown late in the fourth. Jason Bean went 16/27 for 232 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions, and added one touchdown on the ground. Devin Neal added another rushing touchdown in the loss. Defensively, Kansas allowed 437 total yards and forced three Baylor turnovers, two interceptions and one recovered fumble.
