No. 21 Oklahoma State 33, West Virginia 26 (OT)

Oklahoma State has the luxury of time to get it all together, with a bye this week and no sight of Baylor or TCU on the schedule until November.

“It’s what everybody signed up for”, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said Monday on the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference. Will Howard be up for the challenge? That’s asking for way too much, but it’s up to him to double his tackles – he has just 15 on the year – and take over.

“If you’re going to an Oklahoma State game, you don’t turn it off all the way until the final buzzer goes off”, Gundy said.

Holgorsen’s offense will not be able to afford turnovers against a potent Baylor offense. The point of the matter is Howard’s inability to be consistent in the pass game can’t entirely be blamed on him nor the offensive line. West Virginia has lost its best defensive player for the season in Karl Joseph and that should allow Seth Russell to have a field throwing the ball.

Though their highly advertiseed defense was beaten up a bit last week, the West Virginia Mountaineers are still a top producer of UNDERS with 11 of their past 13 games going under the closing total. Most importantly, that included penalties. His 31 grabs and 678 yards are team highs, and he’s topped 100 yards in each game this year. “He was cramping up during the game, but he’s going to get out there and do what he can do”.

West Virginia is 1-5 against the spread in its last six games on the road in October.

West Virginia is outscoring teams 39-17 this season. “How do you play on the road?” The Mountaineers struggled mightily with turnover margin a season ago but had done a great job managing that area prior to the five give-a-ways they had against Oklahoma. While that is by far their worst game against the pass the Bears will allow balanced offenses to stay on the field.

During last week’s 33-26 overtime triumph at West Virginia, Walsh connected with tight end Blake Jarwin for a 4-yard touchdown pass. In overtime – on fourth-and-goal – Walsh kept the football for the 2-yard, game-winning TD.

“I’m not playing”, he said. He has become the second quarterback for the Cowboys, emerging as one of the more important figures as OSU surged to a 6-0 start overall, a 3-0 start in the Big 12 and a No. 16 ranking in the Associated Press poll. OU is now 1-2-2 in such matches. The Mountaineers are #25 or better in all three categories nationally.
