I like that Okie State is coming in hot. All teams soon have an off game. And we are playing out of desperation to win. I really love our chances.

Ive been impressed with OSU's grit. They got behind vs texas, and iirc were behind at boise too. Hung tough and won. They won't fold like Tech or Texas. Gonna be a tough game unless sanders turns it over a few times.
Me? The guy that said we’d beat Kansas State by double digits?
A must win game for the Clones in order to get to Dallas! Lose and its disappointment city in a season that will still end with a pretty nice win total.
Bottom 6 of the Big 12 are bad this year. Really can't expect any help from them vs OSU/Baylor.
Baylor does have Texas, TCU, OU, and KSU up next. Should be favored against all but OU. Hopefully they'll slip up somewhere.

If we win this game we rise in the standings. If we lose this game we fall in the standings.
He was more comfortable in the pocket. Finding a gap and stepping into his throws. When he has time, we get big gains down the field. When he gets pressured and runs straight to the sideline, we're screwed. Oklahoma State has been better than anyone at rattling him, so hopefully that gets fixed.
Gundy outcoached Sarkisian. He's milking what they have, which is not as much as they usually do.
If we don't turn it over, we're better.
But Gundy is a better in-game coach than Campbell, and that's not a shot at Campbell. If our crowd shows up like we know they can/will, we win.
The last two years OSU ran a lot of what I call 'junkyard' defense (there's a technical name) with interchangeable LBs and DL so blitzes were hard to come up with.
Hall to the outside helped get past it and imo quick throws taking what's there would too.
So long developing plays would be a disappointment this week.
This is honestly the team I've wanted to beat more than anyone lately. In conference play, Okie State has been the cryptonite for Campbell and company recently. This is all going to come down to Spencer Sanders. The guy looks terrible almost every week aside from when he has played us.
For whatever reason, we have made that guy look like a Heisman-caliber player the last couple of games against them. Time to win this one and take a step toward getting back to the CCG.

Interesting in that they’re ranked 8th in the AP poll, and we’re not rated.
As a college football media addict, life is so much better after a win. I can listen to every podcast and watch every show without that ping of pain that comes after a loss. Iowa has two weeks of hearing every analyst say "we told you so."
Excited to see 61,500 Cyclones getting loud next Saturday.

It did to me. There were a few plays where you could tell it was by design, as there were targets shadowing his movements downfield (Hall and Brock both had nice plays off Purdy's threat to run).
I don’t know if this matches this thread but this is awesome and I apologize for nothing
Manning has called several good games in row. Hope he keeps it up.
Needs to go vertical with the passing game in this one as OSU has eaten Brock alive on those dinky crossing routes.
Cyclones win a tough one, 27-24.
