Sam Bradford came back against the Baylor Bears, presumably to give him time to get back into the swing of things before the Red River Shootout, but in retrospect, that was too soon. He elected to have surgery on that shoulder, which ended his season.

That leaves the Oklahoma offense once again in the hands of Landry Jones, which really isn’t so bad. Jones, the touted freshman, stepped in when Bradford was injured and has thrown for 11 touchdowns and 1111 yards. Part of that was his 24 for 43 performance against Texas after Bradford went out. He’s done a respectable job against good teams, but there still is much to learn.

Oklahoma still brings some defense to the table, as they have held opponents to just 2.2 yards a rush and less than 55% pass completions. Good quarterbacks like BYU’s Max Hall and Miami’s Jacory Harris have made some plays against them, although Colt McCoy was held in check last week, passing for just 127 yards on 39 attempts.

Undersized (5’11”) gunslinger Todd Reesing has been a very consistent performer for Kansas, however, hitting on 67% of his passes with a sharp 15-4 ratio of touchdowns to interceptions. He is one of the more prolific passers in Big 12 history, and in fact could go over the 10,000-yard mark in the next week or two. Reesing has been especially productive lately, with 843 yards and six TD passes in his last two games.

He’s got about as good a receiving duo as there is in college football in Kerry Meier (54 catches, 580 yards) and Dezmon Briscoe (38 receptions, 671 yards). The Jayhawks (3.2 ypc allowed) can put together a stop or two on Oklahoma’s running game. There is a scheduling advantage of sorts for Kansas, as they are looking to rebound from their loss to Colorado, while Oklahoma is off the emotion of the game with Texas. We’ll grab the points with Kansas, the 7.5-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA college football betting odds.

OUR PLAY: KANSAS +7.5 ***
