The Cowboys have experienced one roller coaster of a season. Some of the mountains have been high (like wins against now three ranked opponents), but some of the valleys have taken the Pokes and their fans to depths they’ve not been accustomed to over Mike Gundy’s recent run of success.
Maybe OSU was due for a loss to Texas Tech based on the one-sided nature of that series of late (and the turnover at QB for both schools), but the losses in Manhattan and in Waco were inexcusable for different reasons.
The Kansas State loss stings because, in consecutive meetings, the better team did not come out on top.
