Social media reacts to the Oklahoma Sooners loss to Kansas State
At this point, it’s hard to argue that Kansas State and coach Chris Kleiman don’t have Oklahoma’s number after the Wildcats’ 41-34 win over the No. 6-ranked Sooners.
Kansas State has won three of the last four matchups and has a winning record at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium over the last decade.
It was a frustrating and disappointing performance from the Oklahoma Sooners at home against a team that was coming off of a loss to Tulane the week prior. Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables didn’t mince words when discussing the outing from his team on Saturday night.
“We just weren’t as efficient as we needed to be on offense, the most critical times, the most critical times on defense, we were at our worst, for whatever reason,” Venables said after the game.
Adrian Martinez played a great game, but the Sooners didn’t do themselves any favors with their inability to tackle at times or their lack of pass rush. And when the Sooners needed a stop, they came up short toward the end of the game.
Here’s how social media reacted to the Sooners’ 41-34 loss to Kansas State.
They had a chance and couldn't capitalize
Now we find out how different these 2022 #Sooners are.
If you can’t get off the field on third-and-16, you deserve to lose.

Big 12, and K-State has been a thorn in the Sooners side
Including tonight, @OU_Football has lost its Big 12 opener five times going back to 2006. On each of the four previous occasions, the #Sooners won the Big 12 title (2006, 2007, 2012 and 2020).

A frustrating Saturday night
I’ve been watching OU football for 22 years and I still can’t control my anger and emotions after a loss..

Defies logic
One of the most confounding realities of the last three decades of OU Football https://t.co/qhYrs2PDeD

Cheesecake for me
No I do not want to join your twitter space about OU football, I’m trying to drown myself in buffalo sauce, let me emotional eat in peace

It only hurts because we care so much
Idgaf I love @OU_Football

They weren't
Gotta play very disciplined football when you play K-St.
— OU Boom!!! (@asbell_tony) September 25, 2022
Just looked different
Venables: "I saw some things tonight that I just haven't seen since we started." (Talking about how OU played, not what K-State did) #Sooners

A truly incredible performance
Death, Taxes, and Kansas State QBs having their career best against Oklahoma

Pre-snap penalties were a killer

Where's the Kryptonite when you need it
A team can look so basic, then they show up to Norman, Oklahoma and get super powers.
— J🅿️ (@indy_sooner) September 25, 2022
Hard to argue otherwise
Venables: "We certainly got exposed tonight (on defense)." #Sooners

On the 55-yard game-sealing run
Every time they’ve emptied the backfield, it was a run to Martinez.

From the Jump, the Wildcats were more physical
Another easy TD for KSU. They’re blowing the Oklahoma DL off the ball.
Wildcats 14
Sooners 0Q1, 5:37
Yikes.

What a time to be alive
the kansas jayhawks have more football wins that the oklahoma sooners and texas longhorns LMFAO

Wildcats were more physical
Fans spilling out of GFOMS. Kansas State comes into Norman and upsets the 6th ranked #Sooners.
Wildcats simply dominated up front. And when they didn’t, Oklahoma made way too many mistakes. Both sides of the ball.
Chris Klieman is now 3-1 against OU. Impressive. pic.twitter.com/2YXI1QUfMv

On this night, it wasn't fixed
I was told that Brent Venables would fix the defense at Oklahoma.

I mean...
Texas and Oklahoma are leaving the Big 12 because they don't want to play Kansas and Kansas State anymore
— Tom Downey (@WhatGoingDowney) September 25, 2022
Red River looks a lot different
K-State beats Oklahoma, Texas Tech beats Texas. Red River has run dry for the Oct. 8 game at the Cotton Bowl.

Glaring Holes
Oklahoma has some holes.
We all knew them before the year started. Nebraska’s suckage hid them, Kansas State revealed them.
Oklahoma still has every preseason goal in front of them but things do need to get better in obvious areas.
— Chisholm Holland (@ChisholmHolland) September 25, 2022
Nothing makes sense anymore
Oklahoma State, TCU, and Kansas remain the only undefeated teams left in the #Big12.
Sitting atop the Big 12 standings: 1-0 Baylor, 1-0 Kansas, 1-0 Texas Tech, and 1-0 Kansas State.
Just like we all drew it up.

Oklahoma offense couldn't sustain drives
Oklahoma has 11 drives today prior to this one. They have only reached the red zone twice and scored one touchdown.
For comparison, Kansas State — in 12 drives — has seven red zone trips and five touchdowns.

When's that Nebraska offer coming?
Chris Klieman has now beaten Oklahoma in 3 out of 4 seasons.
— Ari Temkin (@arisports) September 25, 2022
Adrian Martinez had a day
Nebraska died against Oklahoma in Week 3 so Adrian Martinez could walk — err, run — against Oklahoma in Week 4.
