Last week, the No. 20 Texas Longhorns came away with a narrow 24-21 victory against the Iowa State Cyclones, who possess the best defense in the conference. As the winning streak continues, Texas will be back on the road and play the No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys, who I believed to be to the best in the conference until their loss to the TCU Horned Frogs this past weekend.
Texas has lost eight matchups against Oklahoma State since 2010, including a disappointing 32-34 loss in Sarkisian’s first year. The Cowboys are still in the Big 12 championship race and can remain contenders with a win this weekend.
