The grades
Offense
F
Joe Hubener couldn’t have played any worse, and Kody Cook threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. K-State was never in a position to do anything successful on offense. It was a meltdown.
Defense
D
Will Geary supplied solid pressure and Duke Shelley had positive moments at corner. Otherwise, there were no positives here.
Special teams
F
Jack Cantele missed a field-goal attempt, and K-State never got anything going with its return game.
Coaching
F
Oklahoma entered Saturday with the nation’s 95th-ranked run defense, allowing 190 rushing yards per game. But the Wildcats opened the day with six straight passes and never gave its running attack a chance. K-State’s offense is at its best with Hubener, Justin Silmon and Charles Jones running the ball.
Takeaways
Player of the game: Mayfield played a nearly flawless game, throwing for 235 yards and five touchdowns —- in the first half. He put the game out of reach early.
Reason to hope: K-State’s next game is against Texas. As long as the Wildcats recover mentally from this, they will have a chance to win in Austin.
Reason to mope: Oklahoma hadn’t looked great in any of its games before Saturday, but it dominated K-State in every way.
Looking ahead: K-State needs a victory to stay above .500 and move toward bowl eligibility. A victory against Texas could be essential.
