Oklahoma St. Cowboys

Oklahoma State suffered a concerning 26-point loss to a Sunbelt team at home last week, confusing their fans after their previous win against Arizona State. The Cowboys' offense ranks 111th in points per game (20.3) and total yards per game (321.7) this season, while the defense ranks 53rd in points allowed (20.3) and total yards (354.3) per game. The quarter back carousel continues as Cowboy's Mike Gundy is trying to find the right fit; Alan Bowman, Garret Rangel and Gunnar Gundy are all in competition. The Cowboy's defense is missing star linebacker Mason Cobb and several top pass rushers, but Collin Oliver and Nathan Latu are two key returning players. Oklahoma St. is currently rated #108 in power ranking, #84 in offense (with an average of 27.00 points per game) and #28 in defense (allowing an average of 14.00 points per game) with a record of 2-1 (1-2 ATS).

Oklahoma State Cowboys Face Tough Task on Road Against Iowa State's Strong Defense

Last week, both teams did not perform well, but Iowa State has a strong defense that could cause turnovers. Oklahoma State's defense has improved, however, Iowa State is more familiar with them and will likely focus heavily on their ground game. The game could be close, but the result of this matchup will depend on the decisions and accuracy of the Cowboys' QB duo. With their inexperience and ineffectiveness, coupled with an away game in the conference following an embarrassing loss, OSU would be wise to be cautious.
