For the second time this season, the Oklahoma Sooners will play under the brand new lights at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The team that awaits them will be their toughest test in this young season, the Kansas State Wildcats.
Other than Deuce Vaughn, Brent Venables’ alma mater doesn’t boast much in terms of offense, but their defense ranks second in the Big 12 in points allowed per game and total yards per game.
The Sooners have all the firepower on offense to pull ahead of the Wildcats early, but Kansas State has a habit of playing up to the Sooners. Chris Klieman’s squad is not to be taken lightly. K-State already had their wakeup call with a close loss to Tulane.
They’re going to come into Norman ready to play.
For the first time in the Brent Venables era, Big 12 play begins. Here are five offensive players to watch in week four.

Only one secondary has more interceptions than the Wildcats’, and Dillon Gabriel hasn’t turned the ball over yet in a Sooners uniform. With how tough K-State has played Oklahoma in the past, the Sooners just can’t have any turnovers.
Gabriel showed just how much of a dual threat he is against Nebraska, and with how good K-State’s defensive line is, he’ll need to be able to move.
I had a bit of a debate with one of my professors. He was unsure that Dillon Gabriel is good enough to take the Sooners where they want to go. I disagreed.
Let’s see what happens.
