When was the last time Kansas beat Oklahoma in football?
By Scott Rogust
The Oklahoma Sooners looked to continue their path to the Big 12 Championship in Week 9, as they took on the 5-2 Kansas Jayhawks. While Kansas was unranked, they certainly gave them a fight, lightning delay and all.
Kansas took an early 14-0 lead in the second quarter. Even though the lead wouldn't last long, the Jayhawks held their own against the Sooners, entering halftime with a 21-17 deficit, and even took a late 32-27 lead early on in the fourth quarter.
But once the team was down 33-32, Kansas quarterback Jason Bean orchestrated an 80-yard drive, culminating in a game-winning, nine-yard touchdown run by Devin Neal to give them a 38-33 lead. With that, the No. 6 Sooners suffered their first loss of the season.
