Oklahoma State Looks to Avoid Letdown

The fans at Ladd Peebles Stadium will be treated to a game between the 11th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the South Alabama Jaguars on Friday. ESPN2 will air the game nationally. Kick-off is set for a few minutes after 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Cowboys as -26.5-point favorites versus the Jaguars, while the game’s total opened at 66. The line is now Oklahoma State -28-points while the total has risen to 69.

Jaguars Need to Improve on Defense

South Alabama lost its last outing, a 47-27 result against the Ole Miss Rebels on September 02. South Alabama covered in that game as a +22.5-point underdog, while the 74 combined points took the game OVER the total.

The Jaguars surrendered too many big plays to Ole Miss wideouts. This included two of 70-yards-plus for scores. Rebels quarterback Shea Patterson completed 28 of 35 passes for 429 yards and four touchdowns.

Oklahoma State had Balanced Attack

Oklahoma State was a 59-24 winner in its last match at home against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. They covered the -20-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 83 sent OVER bettors to the payout window. The Cowboys had a balanced offense that feasted on big plays.

The Cowboys averaged a first down per snap against the Golden Hurricane. They averaged 10.2 yards a play. That huge average produced seven plays of 32 yards or longer. Touchdown passes from Mason Rudolph highlighted the onslaught. The passes covered 77 and 40 yards to James Washington and 44 to Tyron Johnson.

Oklahoma State is 15-1 all-time against teams from the Sun Belt Conference. The loss at Troy, that inspired the, “I’m a man, I’m 40”, rant remains attached to Mike Gundy and the program. With the 10-year anniversary of “The Rant” coming up on Sept. 22, expect the crowd to give them some business.
