October 29, 2011 – Oklahoma 58, Kansas State 17

Kansas State hosted Oklahoma in the 2011 regular season. The Wildcats were ranked eighth in the country coming into this game, one spot higher than the Sooners, who had dropped to No. 9 in the AP bowl after losing at home the previous weekend to Texas Tech in an upset, snapping a 39-game OU home winning streak.

K-State came into the game riding the momentum of a seven-game win streak to begin the season and a perfect 3-0 mark in the Big 12.

On the very first possession of the game, OU lost the services of running back Dominique Whaley, who was forced out of the game with a knee injury he sustained while throwing a block. Oklahoma scored twice in the opening quarter to take a 14-3 lead.

The Wildcats, behind All-Big 12 quarterback Collin Klein, roared back in the second stanza, briefly going ahead 17-14 before the Sooners countered with a go-ahead TD and a field goal to end the half leading 23-17.

The second half was all Oklahoma as the Sooners marched up and down the field virtually at will, scoring 35 unanswered points to put away the game by a commanding score of 58-17 and hand the Wildcats their first loss of the season.

Oklahoma outgained K-State by 350 offensive yards in the contest, 690-240, with 520 of those yards coming through the air from quarterback Landry Jones.
