Game Primer: How to Watch, Things to Know for Oklahoma at Kansas

Everything you need to know for today's critical Big 12 matchup on Homecoming in Lawrence.

The bye week couldn't have come at a better time for the Kansas Jayhawks, giving them extra time to prepare for a tough test against the Oklahoma Sooners. With starting quarterback Jalon Daniels still working his way back from a back injury, Jason Bean will have a third opportunity to take down the Sooners. Oklahoma comes into the game with an undefeated record and legitimate buzz for the College Football Playoff. 

Kansas fell out of the polls two weeks ago after losing to Oklahoma State down in Stillwater. Oklahoma has skyrocketed up the polls this season, holding a #6 ranking this week.

Oklahoma has dominated this series with a record of 80-27-6, including a 37-14-3 record in Lawrence. The last time the Jayhawks beat the Sooners was a 20-17 victory in Lawrence during the 1997 season.
