Oklahoma State Faces West Virginia in Big 12 Showdown

Oklahoma State University (OSU) faces a crucial matchup against West Virginia this Saturday, as they seek their first Big 12 win after two consecutive losses. The Cowboys, who were expected to be contenders this season, have struggled offensively under offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn, prompting speculation about his future. Meanwhile, West Virginia, which has shown resilience after a rocky start, aims to capitalize on the Cowboys' vulnerabilities, particularly in the passing game led by OSU quarterback Alan Bowman. The Mountaineers will need to effectively contain OSU's running back Ollie Gordon to limit explosive plays. Historically, OSU has dominated this matchup, winning eight of the last nine encounters, but they must overcome their recent struggles to maintain hopes for a successful season. The teams will meet at Boone Pickens Stadium, continuing a long-standing rivalry that dates back to 1928.
