Kansas State Football: Report Card VS Oklahoma

The defense was equally as bad as the offense against OU. They allowed the Sooners to get two touchdowns in the first quarter and put up 35 points in the first half.

It didn’t get any better after that.

They allowed OU to get 30 first downs, 336 passing yards and 232 rushing yards.

K-State, who posed a dominant defense in 2014, allowed Oklahoma to have 565 yards on offense and put up 55 points on the day. Not only that, but the Wildcats weren’t able to force a single turnover.

Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield had himself a day in Manhattan. He was 20 for 27 with 282 passing yards and five touchdowns on the day. All five of those touchdowns came in the first half too.

Kansas State’s defense was so bad that Mayfield didn’t even finish the game. Trevor Knight and Cody Thomas actually came in near the end of the game because Oklahoma had such a lead.

Can’t say that I blame the Sooners for taking Mayfield. They honestly should have pulled him sooner because this Wildcats defense team couldn’t stop anything. They allowed OU to get 30 first downs, 336 passing yards and 232 rushing yards.

It was an ugly game on both sides of the ball.
