Miscues doom Oklahoma in upset loss to Kansas State

For the second time in three years Saturday, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder left Norman with a win over his former pupil, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops.Kansas State took advantage of a number of miscues by Oklahoma and pulled off a 31-30 upset against the Sooners to shake up the Big 12 title race even more. The Wildcats might have even inserted themselves into the fringe of College Football Playoff contention with the win.Quarterback Jake Waters Ben Skowronek Jersey was a calm presence in the pocket for Snyder's squad and bounced back quite nicely after going to the locker room in the second half with a shoulder injury. He didn't mi s much time on the field and finished 15-of-23 with 225 yards pa sing and two touchdowns. He also rushed for a score and averaged 5.1 yards per carry against a normally tough Oklahoma defense.Water's favorite target was, not surprisingly, Tyler Lockett, a potential early round pick in the 2015 . He caught six balls for 86 yards and had one nifty touchdown in the second quarter in the back of the end zone. Considering he was going against one of the Big 12's best cornerbacks, Zack Jalen Ramsey Jersey Sanchez, and frequently was double-covered, it was an impre sive outing for Lockett.It might not have been as impre sive as Wildcats fullback , but it was neverthele s a game that will draw the attention of NFL scouts.The story of the day, though, were the mistakes made by the Sooners in a game where Isaac Bruce Jersey they outgained their opponent by 148 yards.Kicker Michael Hunnicutt came into the game as one of the best in the country but mi sed two of his three field goal attempts, including one from point-blank range (19 yards) that would have given Oklahoma the lead late in the fourth quarter. Add in a mi Robert Rochell Jersey sed extra point that ultimately proved to be the difference, and it was a rough outing for the man nicknamed "Moneycut."Sooners quarterback Trevor Knight had a productive day (three touchdowns, 318 yards) but threw an interception and was severely limited in the running game after suffering an arm injury early in the game. Running back Samaje Perine was limited to just 3.7 yards a carry against a defense that clearly had a good plan to slow him down.One bright spot for Stoops -- who served as an a sistant for Snyder at Kansas State AJ Jackson Jersey from 1989-95 -- and the Sooners was the play of receiver Sterling Shepard. He tied a school record with 15 catches, including a touchdown grab. He racked up 197 yards in the game.It was all for not, though, as the playoff hopes for the Sooners appear to have all but come to an end after suffering a second lo s to a conference opponent. At the same time, the Wildcats, despite a narrow home lo s to Auburn, might just be starting to take off.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .
