Defensively, the Sooners played well for three quarters. Then gave up two late drives in the fourth quarter for K-State's margin of victory. Tony Jefferson led the Sooners with a career high 14 tackles while Javon Harris added 12 tackles on the night.

It was a very disappoiting evening for senior quarterback Landry Jones. While he did throw for 298 yards, Jones threw into coverage many times, dropped the fotball on at least two occasions and lost a fumble at the goal line which was returned for a KSU touchdown. Back up Blake Bell didn't fare much better, losing a fumble at the Kansas State six yard line in the second quarter in the BellDozer formation.

The Sooners have another week off and then travel to Texas Tech in two weeks.
