Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon (25) runs in a touchdown catch before Kansas safety Fish Smithson (9) during the first quarter, Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015 at Memorial Stadium.

Like most people who caught the Big 12’s latest football shootout Saturday night between Oklahoma and Texas Tech, University of Kansas football coach David Beaty often just shook his head, marveling at the display.

“It was amazing to watch both those teams go to work offensively,” Beaty said of a 66-59 OU victory in Lubbock, Texas, featuring 1,708 combined yards of total offense between the Sooners and Red Raiders.

With his Jayhawks (1-6 overall, 0-4 Big 12) traveling this week to face No. 16 OU (5-2, 4-0) on the road, Beaty watched the score-fest twice Sunday night in preparation.

Wowed by the production of Sooners Joe Mixon (267 rushing yards, four touchdowns) and Baker Mayfield (27-for-36 passing, 545 yards, seven touchdowns), as well as Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes (FBS record 819 yards of total offense, seven total touchdowns), Beaty also noticed how exhausted the defensive players looked as the more than four-hour game reached its conclusion.

“I can imagine livin’ in that was probably a nightmare,” the Kansas coach said.

Monday morning on the Big 12 coaches media teleconference, a reporter asked Beaty if seeing the OU defense give up so many yards and points gave him examples of areas where the Sooners might be vulnerable. The KU coach countered Mahomes and the Red Raiders (3-4, 1-3) deserved more credit for their showing.

“That would’ve been a challenge for the Dallas Cowboys, I believe it,” Beaty said. “(Mahomes) played his rear end off, he really did. He made some throws I’ve never seen before.”

According to their head coach, the Jayhawks — 38-point underdogs — will head to Norman, Okla., expecting OU head coach Bob Stoops and defensive coordinator Mike Stoops to have a “terrific” defensive game plan.

“Knowing that they gave up a lot of points (at Tech) is certainly something that we’ll understand. But it’ll be determined by what happens on that day,” Beaty said of KU’s offensive production. “So we’ve gotta go execute. The reason Texas Tech did such a good job is because they executed.”

In their four Big 12 victories, the Sooners have given up 40.5 points a game (eighth in the league) and surrendered 532 yards an outing (ninth). However, their offense has more than made up for those flaws. In league games, OU leads the Big 12 with averages of 50.2 points and 642.5 yards.

In its four conference losses, Kansas only averages 17.2 points (last in the Big 12) and 359.2 yards (ninth, just ahead of Kansas State’s 340.2). KU Has surrendered 43.0 points a game (ninth, edging Texas Tech’s 44.2 average) and 480.5 yards (sixth).

WVU kickoff TBD

Following this week’s upcoming road challenge at Oklahoma (6 p.m. kickoff, FOX Sports 1), the Jayhawks take their longest trip of the season, to the Eastern time zone.

Kansas faces West Virginia (6-0, 3-0, currently ranked 10th in the nation) on Nov. 5, in Morgantown, W. Va.

The Big 12, though, has yet to announce the kickoff time and television network for the Jayhawks’ first November date. The conference Monday only released partial details, yet to be ironed out by one of its television partners: the game will air at either 2:30 or 6 p.m., on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2.

KU is 0-3 all-time at WVU and 4-1 overall. Kansas beat the Mountaineers in 2013 at Memorial Stadium, with Montell Cozart, then a true freshman, at quarterback.
