The Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-8, 0-6) continue their search for a Big 12 win on Saturday as they host the Kansas State Wildcats (4-5, 3-3). The Cowboys have lost 8 straight games this season and 16 Big 12 games dating back to the 2023 Big 12 Championship loss to Texas. It’s been a long fall from grace, but even still, there has to be a sense of hope for improvement as time goes on.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-6 overall; 0-4 in Big 12 play) travel to Lubbock on Saturday to take on the 14th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-1 overall; 3-1 in Big 12 play). These two teams last met last season, a 56-48 decision for the Red Raiders that tied the all-time series at 24-24-3. Today’s outcome is expected to go much differently, however, as the Red Raiders are a monstrous 37.5-point favorite.

At this point, the outcome of an Oklahoma State Cowboys football game is almost too easy to predict: early creativity infused with energy keeps the score close, followed by an inability to sustain any success before getting blown out. That’s exactly what happened again on Saturday as the Cowboys tried their best to play the Houston Cougars in a close game, but once again, the result was another big loss. Still, you don’t have to look very hard to see at least some slow progress in a couple of areas. Let’s break the game down.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys continue to trudge through their season as they prepare for a Saturday morning kickoff against the Houston Cougars. The latest edition of “What could go wrong for the Cowboys?” features a new quarterback who isn’t actually listed as a quarterback on the roster, as Sam Jackson V is slated to start at QB for the newly injured Zane Flores.

One week ago, Oklahoma State fans felt a little optimistic after the Cowboys showed some life against Baylor just a few days after firing head coach Mike Gundy. Sure, they didn’t win, but the game was within one score for the majority of the first three quarters, and for the first time in what felt like years, the offense had some creativity. A lot of that optimism came to a screeching halt on Saturday, however, when the Cowboys traveled to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats.

Now the Cowboys travel to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats, who are 3-1 on the season. For the second week in a row, Oklahoma State is a three-touchdown underdog, and the Cowboys are given just a 10.3% chance of winning according to ESPN.com’s Matchup Predictor.

A new era of Cowboy football begins as the Oklahoma State Cowboys host the Baylor Bears in the first game since Mike Gundy’s departure as head coach. Offensive Coordinator Doug Meacham is the interim head coach in the meantime, and he’s in some deep waters as he gets his first-ever shot at being a head coach in the midst of what can only be described as chaos.

Not even two weeks have passed since the Oklahoma State Cowboys suffered a gut-wrenching loss to the Oregon Ducks. While the loss was the standard expectation, the manner in which it took place was downright awful, and the season appears to be unraveled before it’s even really gotten started. Still, the Cowboys have an opportunity to shift the narrative of the season on Friday night as they host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

I genuinely did not think this season could be worse than last season, and I had hoped the Cowboys might make it back to a bowl game. However, at this point, I don’t feel like there’s a win left on the schedule. Sure, Tulsa at home next weekend might be a nice bounce-back. Houston at home and Arizona or UCF on the road could all be wins. But right now, there is absolutely zero expectation from me that any of that will happen.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys kicked off their season last week with a pretty mediocre showing against UT-Martin. A 27-7 win at home against an FCS school is nothing to get excited about, especially when you lose your starting quarterback after just one quarter of play, but the defense did look much improved from last season, so that is an area of encouragement.
