ESPN’s GameDay crew likes the Cowboys’ chances to stay undefeated after their Big 12 opener against Kansas State on Saturday night, or at least most of it did.
Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit and celebrity picker, former professional race car driver Danica Patrick, all picked the Pokes to take care of home turf, though I’m dubious about how well some members of the panel have been following the Cowboys’ thus far.
“I’m going with the Cowboys,” said Howard, “I think their offense is so balanced that they’re going to give them problems.”
The Pokes have been strikingly one-dimensional with the ball in their hands this year, unable to run through a fog in their first two games against Missouri State and Tulsa before turning the tables and passing for just 74 yards at Boise last week.
