In the end, though, the Sooners’ high-octane offense proved to be too much for the Jayhawks to overcome. OU scored on all but two of its drives to claim a 55-40 win over KU (3-8, 1-7 Big 12) Saturday night at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1) has now won 14 consecutive meetings with Kansas.

In the loss, freshman running back Pooka Williams ran for a career-high 252 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Williams also completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Booker early in the fourth quarter.

Here’s a quick look back at some of the action:

• The game turned when: With 9:03 left in the first half, Oklahoma took the lead for good.

After the Jayhawks claimed a 10-7 lead, the Sooners answered with a quick score. Oklahoma needed less than three minutes to march 65 yards on seven plays. OU quarterback Kyler Murray hit a wide-open Carson Meier for a 20-yard touchdown connection. It gave the Sooners a 14-10 lead, in which they never trailed after that.

Entering Saturday, 51 of Oklahoma’s 63 offensive touchdown drives (81 percent) took less than three minutes of game clock.

• Offensive highlight: Early in the game, Williams demonstrated his talents on the national stage.

Williams had consecutive long runs during KU’s 93-yard drive, which took just seven plays and 3:17. Williams accumulated 62 yards on just two runs during the team’s long drive, including a 39-yard rush on second and short.

Following a timeout, Williams hit paydirt with a 23-yard touchdown run to give Kansas a 7-0 advantage.

• Defensive highlight: Mike Lee set the tone with a huge stop early in the contest.

Oklahoma appeared poised to score on its first offensive drive of the game, marching into Kansas’ territory. After missing a tackle, Lee ripped the ball out of Kennedy Brooks’ hands and Lee ended up with the loose ball.

As a result, the Sooners’ drive was halted on the opposition’s 10-yard line. The Jayhawks proceeded to take the first lead of the game on the ensuing drive.

•Up next: Kansas plays host to Texas at 11 a.m. Friday.
