Oklahoma State vs Kansas Game Preview

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

The Cowboys can’t play any worse.

They were rolling for over 40 points per game with a win over Texas and a whole lot of positives in the race for the Big 12 championship, and then it all collapsed in a stunning 48-0 loss to Kansas State.

Besides everything, where did it all go wrong?

Call it a bad day. Kansas State was rolling, Oklahoma State didn’t get the offense working, there were three giveaways, and …

By one or 48, a loss is a loss. It’s just one. There’s still a loaded group of skill parts on offense, the defense is still fantastic on third downs and great at getting into the backfield, and now the team gets a struggling Kansas team that can’t do enough defensively.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas will lose another tough one.

It started the season 5-0, lost Daniels in the loss to TCU, and it wasn’t been able to keep up on the road against the Oklahoma and Baylor offenses.

The Sooners and Bears ran at will – combining for 571 yards and nine touchdowns – and Oklahoma State will get going, too.

This hasn’t been a great year for the Cowboy ground attack, but it’ll averaged well over four yards per carry for the first time in Big 12 play.
