Recent Performances


The Oklahoma State Cowboys' journey through the season has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. In their last outing against BYU Cougars, they narrowly missed victory with a final score of 35-38. Despite this loss, there were notable highlights including a robust rushing game that amassed 269 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing their ability to dominate on the ground. However, turnovers proved costly as they gave up two interceptions.


In contrast, their encounter with West Virginia Mountaineers was less favorable. The Cowboys struggled both offensively and defensively leading to a 14-38 defeat at home. This game highlighted areas needing significant improvement such as pass defense and offensive consistency.


Against Kansas State Wildcats, despite putting up an impressive total yardage of 490 yards including 364 passing yards from Alan Bowman alone, turnovers once again marred their performance leading to a disappointing 20-42 loss.


Looking Ahead


As we look towards the matchup with Baylor Bears at McLane Stadium - an environment known for its vibrant atmosphere which could pose additional challenges for visiting teams - it's clear that minimizing turnovers will be crucial for Oklahoma State if they are to secure victory on enemy turf.


The defense will need to step up significantly compared to previous games; intercepting passes could turn the tide in their favor considering they managed one interception across these matches but often struggled in halting opposing offenses effectively.


On offense, maintaining their strong rushing attack while ensuring better protection for quarterbacks could provide them with the edge needed. Their ability to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns rather than settling for field goals or turning over possession will also be key factors determining success in this clash.


Fans can expect an intense battle as both teams vie not just for victory but also momentum heading deeper into the season. With strategic adjustments and focused execution on both sides of the ball, Oklahoma State stands a chance at overcoming challenges posed by Baylor Bears in what promises to be an engaging contest.


Join us on October 26th at McLane Stadium or tune into ESPN+ at 3:30 PM ET as we cheer on our team towards what we hope will be a triumphant outcome!
