The last time an Oklahoma football team lost its opening Big 12 game was eight years ago.
The opponent in that game in 2012 was — guess who? — Kansas State, and the No. 6 Sooners lost 24-19 at home to a 15th-ranked K-State team led by quarterback Collin Klein and an All-American wide receiver named Tyler Lockett.
