Cowboy Up: Oklahoma State VS. Texas



Texas is the team to beat in the BCS race. Oklahoma State is the new kid on the block with one of the nastiest offenses that college football has seen in a while. Texas has the hometown hero quarterback Colt McCoy with a name that leads you to believe he was ordained from the football gods to be a Texas quarterback. OSU counters with Zac Robinson, the silky smooth Poke quarterback. that is flashy but backs up his GQ football fashion with great numbers and top-notch efficiency. Based on both their games with Missouri, Texas has the upper hand with more overall speed. However, Oklahoma State is no slouch on defense and has improved every week since the beginning of the season.

Since no team in the BIG XII ranks in the top 30 in total defense, there is fair reason to believe there will be a lot of points scored in this game. OSU will be at home and they are ranked 7th in the country. I’m calling an upset in the game as OSU walks away with a 45-37 victory in front of the home crowd. Look for this to be a very entertaining game unless Texas jumps all over the Cowboys early. If the Longhorns do not put the Pokes away early, look for an OSU victory.
