So far this season, the Wildcats hadn’t exactly been lighting the world on fire in kick returns, though. But OU’s snap came late, and a delay of game penalty left the Sooners without much choice other than to punt. On the next play, Anton Harrison was called for a false start to push the Sooners even further back. In the second quarter, Brayden Willis was flagged for a false start on fourth-and-1 as OU tried to go for it. But after the Sooners settled in to tie the game at 14 early in the second quarter, Kansas State came up with a big return. Gray has had plenty of success early in the season for the Sooners, but without much room to maneuver, Gray struggled in the first half, with just 14 yards on five carries. In the second half, OU settled in on the ground, as Gray finished with 114 yards on 16 carries. The Sooners ran for just 42 yards in the first half. The flag led to the drive stalling, though the Sooners looked poised to go for it on fourth-and-4. Then in the third quarter, Chris Murray was flagged for a false start after Eric Gray ripped off two long runs for a promising start to the drive with OU trailing 24-20. Martinez finished 21 of 34 for 234 yards and a touchdown through the air and had 148 yards and four touchdowns on 21 carries on the ground. The Wildcats outgained the Sooners 279-227 in the first half, rushing for 150 yards — 80 of those from Vaughn.
