Winner: The Oklahoma State defense was the big winner in this game. They held the Bears to just 220 total yards, and just 92 of those came on the ground. The defensive line is proving they can definitely hold their own upfront, albeit against lesser competition.
Loser: The run game. Statistically, 4.7 yards per carry doesn’t look bad. But they weren’t ever able to get anything going on the ground, and that’s concerning for an FCS opponent.
Best play: The James Washington snag down the sideline was huge. Really pushed the momentum back to the Cowboys and ultimately lead to points being put on the board.
