Kansas falls to Oklahoma, 55-40

If we learned anything on Saturday night, it’s that Oklahoma doesn’t have a championship defense, and the Big 12 likely won’t do well in the College Football Playoff this year - if they make it at all.

Kansas piled up 524 yards of total offense as they hung with Oklahoma for 3+ quarters behind the electric running of RB Pooka Williams, who rushed for 252 yards on just 15 carries, a 16.8 average. Pooka added 18 yards on three receptions, and also threw a 9-yard touchdown pass.

The Game

Oklahoma turned it over on its first possession of the game, and Kansas struck first on a 23-yard run by Pooka Williams, and would take a 10-7 lead into the second quarter.
