Did they lose a star player to lose the last 6 ?

If you are looking for excuses, Sam Bradford got hurt on the first series against Texas Tech and OU still almost pulled it out. They might have if not for a bad call costing them a touchdown.
If you want hot then Kansas was Top 5 and lost 1 game - to Mizzou. Mizzou was #1 and Top 5 when OU beat them. OU beat Texas when they were in the Top 10. Miami and Tulsa were ranked when OU beat them.
Mizzou beat the Illini who beat OSU.
I'd love an OU-LSU rematch of the 2003 game.
