And when you get a shootout, two things are true: Anything can happen and everyone watching can’t take their eyes away from the action. The way things are taking shape, this could be a shootout on Saturday night in Austin. However, running back Chuba Hubbard has been cutting through defenses like a hot knife through butter and freshman Spencer Sanders has performed solidly at quarterback, aided by star wideout Tylan Wallace. They certainly haven’t played a team the caliber of the Longhorns yet. Mike Gundy’s Oklahoma State team comes into this matchup unbeaten at 3-0. However, against LSU, the Longhorns defense led by Caden Sterns and Brandon Johnson didn’t look all that impressive - which is more than a little concerning as we enter conference play and this matchup in particular. From Collin Johnson to Devin Duvernay to Keontay Ingram, the playmakers are everywhere.
Sam Ehlinger and Texas are undeniably impressive offensively. That makes a Week 4 date with the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Austin all the more intriguing. However, they’re looking to avoid anymore tough losses moving forward, particularly in the Big 12. Hopes of a perfect season for the Texas Longhorns were dashed earlier in the regular season when they were toppled by LSU at home. The Oklahoma State Cowboys hope to make a huge Big 12 statement on Saturday as they travel to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns.
