MOMENTUM
The Kansas offense struggles early and the Jayhawks find themselves out of the game before the first quarter ends.
Oklahoma is riding high after a big win over rival Texas. Expect them to come out swinging early to try and put the game out of reach to avoid any chance of injury to their starters.
AT A GLANCE
For the second weekend in a row, Kansas will take on a team ranked in the top six, and this week's opponent might be even better than Oklahoma State. The Sooners combine the ninth ranked scoring offense with the 12th ranked scoring defense and already have a road victory against then No. 5 Florida State and a neutral site victory over then No. 11 Texas.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Junior runningback Dominique Whale, a walk-on transfer, leads the Sooner rushing attack. He'll be used early for balance and to open up the passing game. Then, they will

OFFENSE
The Sooners have the fifth ranked passing offense led by senior quarterback Landry Jones. Jones moved into the top spot on the career passing yards list at Oklahoma earlier this season, and through five games has thrown for 1,814 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Sooners will balance their attack with the running game, but will do their greatest damage through the air.

In 1954 the Sooners put up 65 points against Kansas. This year they will take on a reeling Kansas defense that is last in scoring defense. If Stoops doesn't pull the dogs off early, Oklahoma could put up a pretty big number on Saturday night.

Jason Phoenix explains different gestures for responses during the demonstrations held by protestors participating in Occupy Lawrence. The local movement has expressed solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. The group is working toward promoting change in local government ordinances.
On Wednesday evening, he made another journey, this time to the offices of the department of Slavic languages and literatures in Wescoe Hall, where he'll live for one year in a glass display case.
The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift of gratitude from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I.

It's a symbol of the long-standing connection between the University and its students doing good in Russian and Eastern Europe, said Marc Greenberg, chairman of the Slavic department.
The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg wrote in his article "Hoffman's Hawk."
According to the article, the YMCA worked in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, providing education and coordinating social and athletic activities for the prisoners. The YMCA also helped prisoners develop trades and hobbies by giving them tools and arranging exhibitions and sales of their artwork.
In 1913, Conrad Hoffman became the secretary of the YMCA at the University, leaving his position as a professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin.
Hoffman went to Germany in 1915, and it was common for him to receive presents, said the article, from the thankful prisoners who he worked with.
