Series record: Oklahoma leads 71-17-4.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

Both teams are ranked in the top 15 for the second straight season, and this time they're both seeking to start Big 12 play with a big victory. For Kansas State, it's a chance to avenge a 58-17 loss at home to the Sooners last season when the teams came in ranked eighth and ninth, respectively.

KEY MATCHUP

Kansas State QB Collin Klein vs. Oklahoma defense. The talk around K-State early this season has been Klein improving his passing ability. He had 27 rushing TDs last season. How well his passing has come along will be put to the test against a Sooners defense that sacked him seven times and limited him to 58 yards passing last season.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Kansas State: DE Adam Davis. The senior is tied for the Big 12 lead with three sacks, but what's more remarkable is that he's forced a fumble on all three. He'll go up against an Oklahoma offensive line that has allowed eight sacks already this season, after giving up just 11 in 2011.

Oklahoma: FS Tony Jefferson. After leaving Oklahoma's game against Florida A&M two weeks ago with a sprained ankle, Jefferson returned to practice this week and was expected to be full speed. Without him, the Sooners were mostly solid — except for a missed coverage on a 75-yard pass play.
