What to Know
After two games on the road, the Oklahoma State Cowboys are heading back home. The Cowboys and the Kansas Jayhawks will face off in a Big 12 battle at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. Oklahoma State is out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
Oklahoma State scored first but ultimately less than the Iowa State Cyclones in their contest last week. It was close but no cigar for Oklahoma State as they fell 24-21 to Iowa State. A silver lining for Oklahoma State was the play of QB Spencer Sanders, who passed for three TDs and 225 yards on 24 attempts.
Meanwhile, Kansas came up short against the Oklahoma Sooners last week, falling 35-23. Despite the defeat, the Jayhawks had strong showings from RB Devin Neal, who rushed for two TDs and 100 yards on 23 carries, and QB Jason Bean, who passed for one TD and 246 yards on 23 attempts in addition to picking up 59 yards on the ground. Bean’s performance made up for a slower matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders two weeks ago.
The Cowboys are the favorite in this one, with an expected 30.5-point (!) margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.
The losses put Oklahoma State at 6-1 and Kansas at a reciprocal 1-6. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Oklahoma State is stumbling into the game with the 140th most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up seven on the season. The Jayhawks have experienced some rushing struggles of their own as they are 249th worst in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, with 24 on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
