No. 14 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) at Kansas (0-7, 0-4), 2:30 p.m. CT (FS1)
Line: Oklahoma by 39
Series Record: Sooners lead 72-27-6
WHAT'S AT STAKE
The Sooners are trying to remain in the Big 12 and national championship race, bouncing back from a disastrous loss to Texas with two straight wins. The Jayhawks just hope to keep the score respectable after getting pounded 66-7 by Baylor and 58-10 by Oklahoma State already this month.
KEY MATCHUP
Semaje Perine and Joe Mixon against the Kansas run defense, which is allowing more than 240 yards rushing per game. Perine ran for 201 yards and four touchdowns, Mixon had 154 yards and two scores, and the Sooners ran up 405 yards on the ground against the Red Raiders last week.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Oklahoma: Baker Mayfield has continued to flourish under center. After throwing five TD passes without an interception at Kansas State, he threw for 212 yards and two more scores to keep the Red Raiders from loading up to stop the run.
Kansas State: Whoever plays quarterback. Joe Hubener is the presumptive choice, but he's been banged up most of the season. Kody Cook has also taken snaps, even though he's the Wildcats' top wide receiver and has also been beaten up.
