Oklahoma State has to help themselves by not giving up any big plays to the Jaguar offense. Early in the second quarter of last week’s game against Arizona State, the Cowboys gave up a 65-yard touchdown pass, which gave the Sun Devils a 15-7 lead, which they held onto until the third quarter. Oklahoma State cannot afford to give South Alabama any hope of an upset, so limiting the big plays will keep the momentum out of the Jaguars’ hands.
After starting five games into the season, Oklahoma State showed no signs of dropping six of their next eight games, but that’s exactly what happened. Fingers can be pointed, and blame should be shared across the board for the most part, but perhaps all of the problems from the season can be summarized into one simple sentence: the Cowboys can’t handle pressure.
