MORGANTOWN, W. Va. -- You’ve got to hand it to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are finding new ways to win over and above simply winning back-and-forth aerial shows every week.
A week after grinding out a 13-10 overtime win against Texas, No. 11 Oklahoma State leaned on a ball-hawking defense and punishing ground game to stave off a West Virginia rally and remain in the College Football Playoff picture with a 50-31 victory at rainy Milan Puskar Stadium.
The Cowboys (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) forced five West Virginia turnovers, and two of the Mountaineers’ four touchdowns didn’t come against the Oklahoma State defense.
