I've been a fan of Clint Bowen's Kansas defense for a while, and the Jayhawks are now up to 47th in Def. F/+. Good unit.

Still, even against a decent defense, OSU quarterback Daxx Garman's stat line is alarming: 17-for-31, 161 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 4 sacks for 30 yards. That's 35 pass attempts, 131 yards, 3.7 per attempt.

Kansas' defensive front owned Oklahoma State in this game, and Garman's inefficiencies (he throws a lovely deep ball but struggles otherwise), combined with some pretty impressive turnovers luck for KU, almost cost OSU dearly. But luckily for the 'Pokes, after tying the game at 20-20, Kansas elected to kick to Tyreek Hill. His kick return touchdown with seven minutes left made the difference.
