5 — Sept. 24, Kansas State in Norman

I don’t have to tell you how dangerous a Kansas State team can be. They have historically always played Oklahoma tough, with a few rare exceptions, and this year’s Wildcat team is being talked about as a Big 12 dark horse in the conference race. K-State remains strong defensively, and the Cats have one of the best running backs in the country in Deuce Vaughn and a new veteran quarterback in Nebraska transfer Adrian Martinez.

Oklahoma is 77-21-4 all-time against K-State. The Sooners won a close one, 37-31, in Manhattan last season, and this year Kansas State travels to Norman, which should give the Sooners an important home-field advantage. The problem with that is, Oklahoma has lost six games at home since the 2012 season, and three of those six defeats have come against Kansas State.
