TCU vs. Oklahoma State Preview

Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

It's a battl e of the unbeaten Big 12 teams in Texas during the Week 7 NCAA football slate. Oklahoma State has been lighting up scoreboards behind the play of senior quarterback Spencer Sanders, who has been electric so far this year for the Cowboys. Not only that, but he's a true dual-threat playmaker, posting a 6-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio with an additional six rushing touchdowns. It hasn't all been Sanders that has contributed to this dynamic offense. RB Dominic Richardson is a quality player that is leading the Cowboys' backfield rushing attack, while a deep wide receiving corps has allowed the offense to rank inside the top five in the nation.

While the offense is impressive, the defense may be the most important group to evaluate when betting this game. Oklahoma State held a very good Texas Tech passing offense somewhat in check in Week 6, but they still allowed 379 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Cowboys lost their defensive coordinator to Ohio State in the offseason, so they are still trying to get used to playing in a new defensive system, but we have seen some progress. They are the definition of a bend don't break defense.

Oklahoma State plays in a lot of high scoring affairs, but really, that's most of the Big 12. Defense has long been optional in this conference, but the Cowboys may have one of the better units. One thing we know for sure is that the offense is going to score points, and that shouldn't be threatened when they travel to take on TCU in Week 7.
