Kansas snapped an 18-game losing streak to Oklahoma that dated to 1997 and secured its first home win against an AP top-10 opponent since 1984. Oklahoma, meanwhile, saw its CFP case take a massive hit.
's eventual fate might hinge on what happened with three seconds remaining on a frigid afternoon in which its vaunted passing attack up and vanished. One snap, one play, one touchdown being the only thing that would keep the sixth-ranked Sooners unbeaten against an ascending group of Jayhawks fromsailed high and far and away from his intended targets, a 27-yard prayer shattered by what might be a season-defining incompletion.
And in the far corner of the end zone, a sullen group of Sooners trudged toward their locker room and a disappointing trip home." for a marquee matchup against the No. 6 team in the country breathed new life into a Kansas season that was beginning to teeter.
All of that changed in the final minutes of a back-and-forth affair that nearly pushed the sixth-ranked Sooners to the brink. With his team clinging to a 32-27 lead, Bean tossed an interception that gave Oklahoma the ball deep in Kansas territory. The Sooners needed just four plays to reach the end zone and reclaim a 33-32 lead. When he lobbed a second consecutive interception on the next possession, the Jayhawks' hopes were dwindling.
Yet as the Sooners clung to a 27-26 lead to begin the fourth quarter on Saturday, nothing about Gabriel's aerial numbers were particularly impressive. Sure, he'd connected on 10 of 12 passes for an extremely efficient completion percentage in keeping with the way he's played all season.
