When it was over, after Oklahoma had blasted Kansas 62-9, winning its fourth straight conference game after losing its first two, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch was asked about the pressure his unit put on the Jayhawks offense. "It was, I think, we've talked about the disruption up front. I think, in some ways, it's kind of been a steady build," he said. "I think, part of it, what happens is, are you OK with just getting there once? And then it kind of becomes, I don't know, feeding off each other? M aybe then a friendly competition?" The point Grinch was trying to make in the way only he can make it was, yes, the Sooners put all kinds of pressure on Kansas on Saturday, making it three straight games in which his unit has played very well.OU d id not give up a touchdown until the game's final play, when Kansas quarterback Will Huggins found Miles Kendrick for a 20-yard score. Because it didn't matter, no extra point was attempted. Prior to that drive, OU had allowed just 171 yards of total off ense and surrendered only a 32-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, which brought the Jayhawks within 31-3. Along the way, the Sooners finished with 11 tackles for 75 yards in Kansas losses, nine of which were sacks for 73 yards in losses . Linebacker Nik Bonitto finished with four tackles, three of them sacks for 21 yards in losses. "We just played as a whole," Bonitto said. "I feel like it was a testament to how we practiced this week, or how we've been practicing, really. You saw all o f it pay off today." - Norman Transcript
