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.

The defense shouldn’t be a problem. The offense needs to get the ground game going right away against a Sooner defense that’s been pounded on for close to 500 yards over the last two weeks, but …

What’s Going To Happen
The rough first season under Brent Venables could quickly take a turn for the positive by winning the Bedlam Series rivalry showdown over the Cowboys. The program is well past just being happy with being bowl eligible, but for now that’s not a bad mark to hit.
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.
