Oklahoma quotable: Sooners' Bob Stoops on Oklahoma State tragedy, Zack Sanchez

Mayfield threw for just 212 yards and attempted just 22 passes as the Sooners re-discovered a running game that looked like it has more than just a few ability to be sustainable.

OU All-Big 12 cornerback Zack Sanchez was injured on the opening play of the game with what appeared to be a leg injury.

VTM: Mayfield has had a good start to the season, (Mainly because of LIncoln Riley's outstanding system and playcalling that upholds the greatest traditions of Texas Tech), and where we see flaws that showed up in 2013... Patrick Mahomes completed 30 of 51 passes for 359 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Oklahoma yields 152.2 yards in passing and 169.5 yards in rushing.

First, Sooners wide receiver Jarvis Baxter fumbled after an 18-yard gain and Tech safety Jah'Shawn Johnson picked it up and returned it 50 yards to set up the Red Raiders' first touchdown.

Quarterbacks - Mayfield made a bad decision on his interception (Stoops actually said after the game that it was the receiver's mistake) but still did what he does best, which is put Oklahoma in the position to win. Only Bowling Green has run more plays this season than the Red Raiders.

"We had a lot of good times together", he noted about the delay. The Red Raiders have a 5-2 record for the year. Furthermore, had Mayfield not quit on his team before the end of the season, it is virtually guaranteed that he would have been put on scholarship at the start of the following semester.

While this is pure speculation and we will never know what would have happened, this type of scenario has divided countless teams at almost every level of football from high school to the NFL. Maintaining the momentum of the upset of Oklahoma will be crucial to UT's second-half hopes.

Kansas at Oklahoma State: The Cowboys were off last week. Oklahoma lost their only game of the season to rival Texas 24-17 in Dallas.

Records: Kansas 0-6 overall, 0-3 Big 12; Oklahoma State 6-0 overall, 3-0 Big 12.

Texas vs Oklahoma PredictionKansas State will be able to move the ball against the Texas defense, but Jerrod Heard is able to beat the Kansas State secondary on passes and his ability to create big plays. He ranks third in the nation in total offense (407.4 average) and fourth in passing offense (374 average). The 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore averaged 5.8 yards per attempt, a far cry from the 8.5 mark he boasted entering the contest.

CCM: No, he certainly has a vendetta against the Red Raiders. The Sooners have forced ten turnovers but have nine of their own this season.

Bob Stoops said Mayfield did not have a role in helping the defense prepare for Texas Tech. It's Patrick Mahomes, a guy who people are already talking about for next season's Heisman. He also has a rushing touchdown, a kick return for a touchdown, and threw a touchdown pass. Devin Lauderdale has 21 catches for 373 yards and 3 touchdowns. Mahomes leads the Big 12 with 375 yards passing per game and has 20 touchdowns and six interceptions, while Mayfield is throwing for 313 yards a game with 19 TDs and three picks.

Jakeem Grant is 12th in the country with 719 yards on 49 receptions, and he has scored four times.
