No. 22 Oklahoma Sooners (4-3) host unranked Kansas State Wildcats (5-3) at 6:00 p.m. in a Halloween night matchup. The Sooners celebrate homecoming tonight, Oklahoma QB Landry Jones hopes to celebrate an OU win to kickoff the official beginning of the Jones-era. This past week QB Sam Bradford, 2008 Heisman Trophy winner and Oklahoma's leading all-time passer, underwent season-ending shoulder surgery and announced he'll fore-go his senior year and enter the 2010 NFL draft. Only one of Oklahoma's losses has been with Jones as starter at quarterback.
The Sooners are coming off a 35-13 victory against Big 12 North contender Kansas last weekend. The Oklahoma defense held Kansas the then-No. 2 offense in the nation 200 yards below their season average. Jones, threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns.
Last weekend, Kansas State coasted to a 20-6 victory over Colorado. The Wildcats' running back Daniel Thompson produced half of KSU's 284 total yards of offense, Thompson rushed for 145 yards and 18 yards receiving. With the win over Colorado, Kansas State became the Big 12 North leader.
With an Oklahoma win tonight, the Sooners are still in Big 12 south title contention if they win out. However, Sooners need Oklahoma State to defeat Texas tonight, and defeat is an understatement. The Cowboys must win big.
With all that said, feel free to join the live blog.

Here are a few Oklahoma vs Kansas State predictions from sports writers and bloggers around the country.
Tim Griffin, ESPN.com
The surprising Wildcats will try to maintain their hammerlock on first place in the North Division by springing an upset. The Wildcats will try to dictate the tempo with their running game, which is easier said than done against the Sooners. The Oklahoma offense has looked sharper with continued work for Landry Jones and it should continue this week against KSU... Kansas State 29, Oklahoma 38

Kansas State will get down early and will likely have to throw. That's not a plus. Oklahoma at home is unstoppable, and after rolling over KU on the road last week, will come up with a second straight impressively easy win... Kansas State 16, Oklahoma 40

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and NotesFrank Alexander shines: Freshman defensive end Frank Alexander played by far his most minutes of the year Saturday, rotating in for both Auston English and Jeremy Beal from the third series on. His biggest play was a rush off the right end late in the first half, when he hit quarterback Josh Freeman despite being held by tackle Edward Prince. His backside sack forced a fumble that DeMarcus Granger recovered for the Sooners' third takeaway in four K-State possessions. ( Tulsa World) Venables on OU's defense: The Sooners aren't dominating either, giving up 32 points a game against Big 12 competition. Said defensive coordinator Brent Venables, "We're just giving things away, playing sloppy. That's what's discouraging and frustrating. We're in position and we're turning guys loose and we're not playing with any discipline." ( The Oklahoman) OU's record first half: Oklahoma's 55 points in the first half tied an Oklahoma program record for points in a half. OU had previously posted 55 points against Kansas State in the second half of its 1942 matchup. The point total is the highest ever in the first half, topping the previous record of 52 against Rice in 1978. (SoonerSports.com Statistics) In a hurry: 1:45 - Of its eight scoring first-half scoring drives, Oklahoma's longest lasted only 1 minute and 45 seconds. Injury report: Wide receiver Manuel Johnson watched the game with his arm in a sling after dislocating his elbow last week against Kansas. Tight end Brody Eldridge missed his second game with an ankle injury, although he did suit up. During the game, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy appeared to injure his left foot or ankle midway through the third quarter. He returned in the fourth, and did not appear to be limping afterward. Gresham was knocked woozy during a K-State kickoff midway through the third. He didn't return, though offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said the Sooners simply were being cautious.

Sam Bradford added three touchdown passes in a wild first half in which the Sooners (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) give up a 28-7 lead before taking control with 27 consecutive points of their own.
