No. 3 Oklahoma fell to unranked Kansas State in a stunner on Saturday, and while the outcome wasn't entirely quarterback Spencer Rattler's fault, he definitely could have played better. Skip Bayless of FOX Sports had an interesting take on Rattler's day.
Rattler finished the game 30-of-41 for 387 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. There's no doubt he played better in the first half than he did in the second half - which is consequently when Kansas State started to mount its comeback.
Bayless, an Oklahoma supporter, thinks that when the game got closer - and Rattler started getting hit more - his play declined.
He also was surprised to see that Rattler wasn't as fast as he thought. He doesn't think the young quarterback did much with his legs to help his cause.
Bayless was, however, impressed with Rattler's arm.
To be fair, this is only Rattler's second collegiate start. Regardless, this is a big loss for Oklahoma when it comes to postseason aspirations - especially not knowing how many games each team will be getting in this year.
Oklahoma's loss is its second straight to Kansas State. The Sooners lost to the Wildcats a year ago and still qualified for the playoff.
