Oklahoma had four turnovers and Kansas State had none as the Wildcats upset formerly No. 3 Oklahoma 38-35 in Norman Saturday in front of only 22,000 fans. One more loss in the Big 12 and OU’s chance to win the Big 12 Conference would probably evaporate. And the loss to K-State could be very damaging…

Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma jumped up two spots to No. 3 in the Top 25 polls after a spectacular start for redshirt freshman Spencer Rattler in an easy 48-0 win over Missouri State.
