Texas has won the last two meetings including last year’s 41-34 road upset of No. 6 Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had a 527-287 yard edge but a minus-4 turnover margin was costly and the difference in defeat. Five of the last six meetings have been decided by a touchdown or less. Oklahoma State had won seven of the previous nine meetings prior to the last two years. The past eight meetings in Austin have gone under the total, although Texas won 36-30 in 2019. Oklahoma State enters off a bye for a situational edge while Texas has to regroup and get their emotions in order after blowing a 38-20 halftime lead last week in the loss to rival Oklahoma. But note that Texas is 18-2 SU and 14-6 ATS in their next game following the Red River Rivalry and showdown with Oklahoma. Since losing to Arkansas, Casey Thompson has taken over at quarterback for Texas and the Longhorns have averaged 52 points per game. Star RB Bijon Roberson leads the Big 12 in rushing with 789 yards and 8 touchdowns. Oklahoma State counters with a strong run defense allowing 90 yards per game and 2.7 yards per rush. Texas has played the stronger schedule and also has the stronger special teams. The Cowboys won’t be able to slow the strong, balanced attack of Texas, which both runs and passes for at least 235 yards per game. The line has dropped down with some support on the Cowboys, but the Longhorns Hook ’em at home.
