The Oklahoma State Cowboys will be playing in front of their home fans against the Cincinnati Bearcats at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. Oklahoma State will be hoping to continue their four-game streak of scoring more points each matchup than the last.
Last Saturday, Oklahoma State didn't have too much trouble with West Virginia on the road as they won 48-34.
Ollie Gordon II continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 282 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. Gordon II is on a roll when it comes to rushing yards, as he's now rushed for 100 or more in the last four games he's played. Alan Bowman also deserves a shout-out for his two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fifth straight loss. They fell just short of Baylor by a score of 32-29. The game was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Cincinnati was the slight favorite coming in.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Myles Montgomery, who rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Corey Kiner also helped out as he racked up 129 rushing yards.
Even though they lost, the Bearcats were unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 288 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Baylor only rushed for 80.
The opposite results left the teams with opposite records: Cincinnati's victory pushed their record up to 2-5, while Oklahoma State's defeat dropped theirs down to 5-2.
Cincinnati is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last five times they've played.
Saturday's match might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game. The Cowboys have been excellent on the ground this season, having averaged 165.7 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like the Bearcats struggle in that department as they've been even better at 214.9 per game. It's looking like Saturday's game might have some serious battles in the trenches.
