The Oklahoma State Cowboys started the season 5-0 but have dropped two of their last three games. The first loss came in overtime on October 15, 43-30 to TCU, but the Cowboys bounced back with a 41-34 Texas the following week. What happened last Saturday, however was a bit of a shock, as the Cowboys suffered a terrible 48-0 loss to Kansas State as a road 2.5-point dog. The Cowboys were out gained 495 to 217 in total yards in the loss and also committed three turnovers without forcing any.
