Oklahoma St. Cowboys

Oklahoma State has had accomplishments this season, with wins over Kansas State and Kansas in back-to-back weeks. However, they were dealt a loss on the road against Iowa State, their only Big 12 road game of the season so far. With a young roster, the Cowboys will face another tough test in the upcoming trip to the Mountaineers. Injuries are a concern for Oklahoma State, currently dealing with three including Dezhaun Stribling (arm) and Dalton Cooper (undisclosed). Both players will be missed in the passing game, while Cooper will be needed to help the offense cope against a stout defense. The Cowboys boast a balanced offense, ranking 55th nationally in passing and 75th in rushing. Led by Alan Bowman (4 touchdowns, 3 interceptions) at quarterback and the dual-threat ability of Ollie Gordon II (6.1 yards per carry), the offense must keep pace in order to make up for any potential shortcomings on the defensive side of things. Oklahoma State has wins over Kansas State and Kansas in back-to-back weeks They have three injuries to navigate, with two of the players ruled out and another questionable Ranking 55th nationally in passing and 75th in rushing Led by Alan Bowman (4 TDs, 3 INTs) and Ollie Gordon II (6.1 yards per carry)

West Virginia Mountaineers Analysis

West Virginia’s surprising defeat to Houston has put the Mountaineers’ path towards the Big 12 title game in jeopardy. With five players of their own on the injury report for this next game against Oklahoma, three of which have already been ruled out, West Virginia must find a way to regroup. This week, the Mountaineers have a winnable game against BYU before their biggest game yet against Oklahoma. West Virginia’s offense relies heavily on the ground game, ranked 33rd nationally in rushing yards per game, with Garrett Greene leading the way and CJ Donaldson Jr. adding an extra dynamic element. Despite being 104th in passing yards per game, the Mountaineers might be able to find success against a struggling secondary. West Virginia's power ranking is 81 #76 for offense (scoring an average of 28.50 per game) #49 for defense (giving up an average of 22.67 points per game) 4-2 (4-2 ATS) overall Oklahoma St. went 1-2 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against West Virginia.

Cowboys Look to Capitalize on Momentum in Matchup with Reeling West Virginia Squad

The Cowboys have solidified their lineup this season and have won their last two games. They face a West Virginia side reeling from a devastating loss. The Cowboys have put their experience to the fore, while the Mountaineers are still dealing with the aftermath of last week. The Cowboys have succeeded against quality opponents and West Virginia's form has been weakening. This could be a difficult game for them, as the Cowboys look to capitalize on their momentum.
