The Cowboys will look to extend a four-game winning streak in Lawrence Saturday afternoon. Here’s how to watch.
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Since dropping the season opener against top-ranked Florida State, the Cowboys have rode roughshod over their schedule. Oklahoma State has beaten Missouri State, Texas-San Antonio, Texas Tech and Iowa State by an average of 18 points per game, with no opponent staying within single digits. With starting quarterback J.W. Walsh potentially lost to injury just one game into the campaign, OSU has relied on junior quarterback Daxx Garman to lead the offense. Garman already has nine touchdown passes in just four starts, though he has thrown two interceptions in each of the last two games. Running back Desmond Roland has ran for more than 80 yards in each of the Cowboys' last three games and has six rushing touchdowns despite missing the Missouri State game.
If Oklahoma State was looking to finally get a difficult test, it likely isn’t coming from Kansas. The Jayhawks are 2-3 on the season, with losses to every Power 5 opponent they have faced and one of the nation’s worst scoring offenses. Head coach Charlie Weis was fired two weeks ago after a shutout loss to Texas. The team responded with a 19-point loss to West Virginia in interim coach Clint Bowen’s debut.

The numbers
Rankings and records: Oklahoma State, 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the Big 12, enters ranked No. 18 in the USA Today coaches poll and No. 16 in the AP. Kansas is unranked at 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12.
Vegas: Oklahoma State is a 20.5-point favorite Saturday, with the over/under set at 50.5
Weather forecast: It will be partly cloudy and unseasonably cool Saturday in Lawrence, with temperatures expected to get only into the mid-50s at kickoff.
Two things at stake
With four games left on its schedule against teams currently ranked in the top 25, Oklahoma State cannot afford an upset loss if it wants to compete for the Big 12 title.
The Jayhawks have not beaten a ranked team since a win over Georgia Tech in September 2010, a losing streak that goes back 13 games.
One big matchup
Kansas vs. Big 12 officials: The Jayhawks have committed more penalties than their opponents in both Big 12 games this season, and racked up 11 flags for 101 penalty yards against West Virginia last week. In fact, Kansas managed just 75 yards of offense more than it gave up in penalty yards in that game. If the Jayhawks have any chance of pulling a stunning upset Saturday, they will need to dramatically cut the number of penalties.
