Why Bet on Oklahoma State?
The Pokes can only play spoiler and are off a 35-31 loss at Baylor as Charlie Brewer threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Mims with seven seconds left. The loss ended the possibility of a fourth-consecutive 10-win season for the Cowboys, but OSU is still just one win from becoming bowl eligible for a school-record 13th consecutive year. That streak is the 10th-longest active streak in the nation.Baylor’s game-winning drive started after Oklahoma State (5-4, 2-4) was stopped on fourth down, when Chris Miller sacked Taylor Cornelius for a 9-yard loss with 1:31 left. Cornelius threw for 287 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score.
With 119 rushing yards, Justice Hill’s career total increased to 3,504 yards. With that total, he passed Tatum Bell (3,409 yards from 2000-03) for seventh-place in OSU history. With 122 receiving yards, Tylan Wallace surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the season and put his total at 1,062 yards. Wallace is the ninth Cowboy to record a 1,000-yard receiving season. It marks the 16th total 1,000-yard receiving season in OSU history and OSU’s fourth straight year with a 1,000-yard receiver. He has had six 100-yard receiving games this season.
The Cowboys have made their living up front defensively this season, leading the nation with 3.67 sacks per game and ranking 11th nationally with 7.9 tackles for loss per game. Defensive end Jordan Brailford has been the biggest contributor, ranking fifth in FBS with 1.0 sacks per game and sixth in FBS with 1.7 tackles for loss per game.
This year’s Cowboys have a signature win over then-No. 6 Texas (Mike Gundy’s seventh win over an A.P. top-10 opponent as coach at OSU) and a second quality win over then-No. 17 Boise State.
