Stoops has won nine of those encounters, but the games between the Sooners and the Wildcats have generally been much closer than the overall record would indicate. Two of the three wins by Kansas State while Stoops has been at Oklahoma have come the last two times Snyder brought his team to OU before Saturday.
The Sooners have never lost at K-State under Stoops. The OU head coach is 5-0 when he takes his team to Manhattan, Kan., where he spent seven seasons under Snyder as defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator. That is better than the 4-2 mark of the Sooners when they have hosted Kansas State in Norman in the 18 seasons that Stoops has headed the football program at Oklahoma.
