No. 18 Oklahoma 41, Kansas State 31: Brennan Clay rushed for a career-high 200 yards and two touchdowns as the visiting Sooners snapped the Wildcats' four-game win streak.
Trevor Knight went 14-of-20 for 171 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score for Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2 Big 12). Jalen Saunders had seven catches for 95 yards while Clay became the Sooners' first 200-yard rusher since DeMarco Murray in 2010.

The Sooners jumped to an early lead on Sterling Shepard's first-quarter touchdown catch and Knight's 8-yard run to cap a 98-yard drive early in the second quarter. Lockett tied the game with his touchdown catches of 48 and 30 yards and, after Clay broke free for a 64-yard touchdown run, burned the Sooner defense for a 90-yard TD catch to knot the game at 21.
Oklahoma pushed its lead to 41-24 on Clay's 3-yard TD run and a 73-yard interception return by Zack Sanchez early in the fourth. Waters added a late TD run but threw an interception with 1:59 left to seal the game.
