This is Oklahoma’s first true road game this season….
Oklahoma: RB Samaje Perine ran for more 1,713 yards and 21 touchdowns last season, but has just 364 yards and three TDs this season. No issues here. Oklahoma made all its kicks and, perhaps most impressive against K-State, didn’t give up any big returns. “They’re a great team”. In the last two trips to Manhattan, they have. Guard Frank Mason III, from Petersburg, Virginia, was an All-Big 12 Second Team honoree who was second on the team in scoring with 12.6 points per game and led Kansas with 142 assists and 50 steals in 2014-15. Striker will put K-State quarterback Joe Hubener in his sights and make it uncomfortable for him all day long, and when the Wildcat QB does unleash a throw downfield, he better be mindful of Sanchez’s whereabouts. They’re undefeated and look ahead to a favorable schedule, with home games against TCU, Baylor and Oklahoma. Even Jonathan Gray gained a respectable 76 yards rushing.
Texas rushed for 313 yards to Oklahoma’s 67. Oklahoma needs to bounce back in Manhattan or another promising is going to fall short of expectations.
Mayfield sat out the entire 2014 season due to NCAA transfer rules after departing the Texas Tech football team just prior to the program’s 2013 Holiday Bowl appearance against Arizona State. Charles Jones has 37 carries for 162 yards and 3 touchdowns, along with 3 catches for 82 yards.
The Oklahoma Sooners (4-1) are coming from a 24-17 monumental loss to Texas last week.
“The execution”, Stoops said, “was maybe as good as we have had”. They rank 96th by allowing 190 rushing yards per game.
But the real identity change is the Sooners’ inability to get out from behind the eight ball. They were able to possess the ball and score 40 points the other night. “It was just they were doing the basic things that they needed to do, and we weren’t doing that early on”. Junior middle blocker Micaela Spann (Carrollton, Texas) knocked down 10 kills for the Sooners on a. 400 attack rate. “We prepared our guys for two different ones”. But by this point, we’re nearly halfway through the year. When we take the field, we can’t wait until – in the second half we started getting a few drives, started doing a little bit better, and we can’t wait until the second half.

“At the beginning of the week, you’ve got to come out with a fire”, Oklahoma cornerback Jordan Thomas said. I didn’t get a run block until the eighth or ninth play. “That’s a huge thing you hear around, and you never really think how much it holds its truth until you have a game like last week”.
