And so it begins. After an impressive non-conference schedule which saw Oklahoma State amass an average of 52.3 points per game in wins over Missouri State, South Alabama, and No. 17 Boise State,it seems inconceivable to imagine the Cowboys as the second most prolific offense taking the field at Boone Pickens Stadium. Texas Tech however, has somehow been even more impressive. The Red Raiders lead the NCAA FBS in total yardage at 1,873 (624.3 yards per game) and trail only Alabama and Ohio State at 55.7 ppg. The game may turn on the Cowboy’s defense, which has looked formidable under a new defensive coordinator in Jim Knowles.
