As every parent of a college student or adult who has gone through college knows, things change quickly when you’re 18-22 years old. Ohio State could beat the Jaguars two weeks ago. This week, it could barely beat Northern Illinois.
Oklahoma State’s Achilles heel two days ago was that it can’t force turnovers or run the football. On Saturday against UTSA, it created seven and ran for 5.4 yards a pop. Things are suddenly looking much more optimistic than they were earlier this week. OSU rolled over the Roadrunners 69-14 on Saturday in its last tuneup before heading down to Austin to watch it burn for the Big 12 opener next weekend.
