Oklahoma entered Saturday’s Big 12 matchup against Kansas with the goal of keeping its perfect season intact and picking up another win to build on its potential to play for a College Football Playoff national championship.
However, the Sooners’ dream of a perfect season came to an end when the Jayhawks pulled off the 38–33 upset at David Booth Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma (7–1, 4–1) took a 33–32 lead on a one-yard touchdown run from Dillon Gabriel with 5:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. Things looked bleak for the Jayhawks following an interception on its next offensive drive, but the Jayhawks’ defense registered a big defensive stop to put Kansas’s offense back on the field.
As a result, Jayhawks quarterback Jason Bean orchestrated a seven-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by a nine-yard touchdown run by Devin Neal, giving Kansas the 38–33 victory and the final touchdown of the contest. Fans inside David Booth Memorial Stadium stormed the field and tore down a goal post after the Jayhawks earned their first top 10 win in 15 years as well as their first top 10 win at home in four decades.
