2012 - Game #4 (at Oklahoma)

Well, after starting the season with 3 non-conference wins, the Wildcats travel to Norman, OK for their Big XII opener. Could they play at a tougher place to start conference play?! If this game was in Manhattan, I'd say it's a fairly evenly matched game. But, if you listen to the sports people on the radio, they say "Oklahoma doesn't lose at home." Ummm, a crappy Texas Tech team beat them there in 2011. (So you're telling me there's a chance). They key is to establish the run early, and if there is any success with it, there's that one in a million chance. Another big key is the K-State secondary. They've not played all that well yet and let teams throw all over them. If D-Line can shake Laundry (what a nice first name) Jones, he becomes a much worse throwing QB (see UTEP game this year). I'd love to say the Cats will win this one, but the odds ARE stacked against them in this one (and I have had my heart crushed SO MANY TIMES when K-State plays down there). I'll say final will be: OU 42, K-State 21. *BTW, was @ K-State game @ Oklahoma in 1997 when K-State won. Actually don't remember too much about the game & trip. I blame it on the alcohol.
