Oklahoma State has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will take on the West Virginia Mountaineers at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. West Virginia is favored, but seeing as the odds didn't stop Oklahoma State in their last game, maybe the team has another upset up their sleeve.
Last Saturday, Oklahoma State earned a 39-32 victory over Kansas.
Ollie Gordon II continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 168 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 116 receiving yards and a touchdown. Gordon II is on a roll when it comes to rushing yards, as he's now rushed for 100 or more in the last three games he's played. Rashod Owens also helped out as he racked up 112 receiving yards.
Oklahoma State's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Leading the way was Collin Oliver and his 2.5 sacks.
Special teams played a big role in the game for Oklahoma State, adding 15 points to the final score. All those points came courtesy of Alex Hale: he added 12 points with four field goals, and another three kicking extra points.
Meanwhile, West Virginia unfortunately witnessed the end of their four-game winning streak on Thursday. They fell just short of Houston by a score of 41-39. The game was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but West Virginia was the slight favorite coming in.
