Oklahoma St. Cowboys

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have a challenging season ahead in the deep BIG 12. They came away with a 27-13 victory against Central Arkansas, but didn't cover a 27-point spread. The team is still working to find a starting QB as Spencer Sanders graduated, with Garrett Rangel, Gunnar Gundy, and Alan Bowman all seeing playing time in the opener. The passing game improved with the addition of junior WR De’Zhaun Stribling from Washington State, contributing 73 yards to the victory. There is lack of running depth so Ollie Gordon II had an important game, rushing 44 yards. Senior WR Brennan Presley led the team in receiving yards last season and hauled in 54 yards last week. The Cowboys’ defense is concerning, ranked 106th against the pass and 101st against the rush. They allowed 391 yards to Central Arkansas who is an FCS team, however Kendal Daniels made key plays in the opener. Last season the team averaged 30.6 points per game (49th) and allowed 28.9 (89th). With a power ranking of 102, their record is 1-0 (0-1 ATS). The Oklahoma State Cowboys have a challenging season ahead in the deep BIG 12.
