The Oklahoma No.6 is looking for the only losing streak he has against a conference challenger as the Sooners travel to Manhattan, Kansas to face the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday. The Sooners are 4-0 to start the season, but have only beaten their three FBS opponents by 15 points combined.

Kansas State suffered its first loss to No. 19 Oklahoma State, but had impressive victories over Stanford and Nevada. The Wildcats held the Cowboys scoreless in the second half, but just couldn’t generate enough points to overcome the difference.

Oklahoma has dominated this series in its 101-year history stretching back to the Big Eight Conference. The Sooners hold a historic 76-21-4 advantage. However, seven of K-State’s 21 wins came in the Big 12 era.

How will Saturday’s Big 12 showdown unfold? Here are storylines to know before kick-off, as well as ATS and straight picks.

Oklahoma vs Kansas State: Need to Know

Secret formula: Kansas State is the only Big 12 team with an active winning streak against the much-vaunted Sooners. In fact, Oklahoma hasn’t beaten the Wildcats since Chris Klieman took over the program in 2019. Klieman’s teams kept Oklahoma’s rushed offense under four yards per carry in both wins and took the turnover battle by a combined 6-0. Error-free football has been a hallmark of Kansas State for decades, and it has prevailed in the last two meetings.

Inconsistent offense: Oklahoma have taken a big step back on offense, scoring less than 28 points in three straight conference games after never hitting those lows during Lincoln Riley days. The 16 points against West Virginia were the fewest for Oklahoma since the Clemson Tigers erupted 40-6 in the Russell Athletic Bowl in 2014 – the loss that led then-coach Bob Stoops, to hire Riley as the offensive coordinator.

QB questions: Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson led both wins against Oklahoma. Sadly, Thompson probably has a knee injury, leaving a huge question mark behind him. Will Howard and Jaren Lewis split against Oklahoma State, but the Wildcats struggled to generate offense. The Wildcats need to score to follow Oklahoma; they generated 86 points in the two upset victories.

Dynamic deuce: Kansas State has one of America’s most versatile running backs. Sophomore Deuce Vaughn ran for 393 yards, eclipsing the 100-yard mark in all three wins, and caught 10 passes for 102 yards and racked up six touchdowns. Klieman is a genius at sending the ball to Vaughn into space, even though defensive game plans are built to stop him.

Oklahoma vs Kansas State Prediction, Pick

Does Kansas State have the offensive firepower to make it three in a row against Oklahoma? This will be the critical issue in a crucial game for both parties. The Wildcats have a very disciplined team defensively. That should be enough to cause problems for Oklahoma’s stumbling offense and keep the game close. But to actually win for the third year in a row, K-State must find answers in the quarterback. Prediction: Kansas State (+10.5)
