Why Oklahoma State Will Win
Did the Cowboys really stop the slide?
They couldn’t get the offense scoring against Kansas State and Kansas on the road in two puzzling losses, and the struggles against Iowa State and its defense were expected. However, the defense was able to step up with five takeaways.

Oklahoma State’s offense will have too many problems against the OU defensive front that will get behind the line, Gray will be great, and the turnovers on both sides will matter.
