Key Storylines
- Mike Gundy’s Departure: The Oklahoma State Cowboys are not under the leadership of Mike Gundy for the first time in 20 years. OSU fired him just three games into the season and they will have to adjust to a new voice leading them while also trying to end their struggles on the field.
- Oklahoma State’s Offensive Struggles: The Cowboys are averaging just 14 points per game, ranking 134th nationally. Their offense has been stagnant, with quarterback Zane Flores throwing zero touchdowns so far this year. They will have to turn things around against Big 12 competition, which is easier said than done.
- Baylor’s Offensive Momentum: After a slow start to the season, the Bears have found their offensive rhythm, averaging 34.5 points per game. Their passing attack is potent, but the other flaws in their roster have led to all of those points producing just a 2-2 record.
- Defensive Concerns for Both Teams: Both Baylor and Oklahoma State have defensive issues. The Cowboys’ defense allows 426.7 yards per game, ranking 119th nationally, while Baylor’s defense has conceded 29.3 points per game.
Quarterback Play
Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson is off to a productive start this year. He has thrown 13 touchdown passes and has over 1,300 yards through the air through four games. He will look to keep moving the ball through the air to help his team get a much-needed Big 12 win. Oklahoma State’s Zane Flores has yet to throw a touchdown pass this season and he simply has to be better for his team to get into the win column against an FBS opponent.

Final Thoughts
Everything that could go wrong this season has gone wrong for Oklahoma State. They haven’t beaten an FBS opponent yet this year and I don’t expect them to get a win over an FBS opponent in this game either. I am going to lay the points with Baylor in this matchup, as their passing offense should help them create separation and win this game by a large margin.
