Despite Struggles, the Cowboys’ Offense Is Solid on Opening Drives

STILLWATER — It’s not breaking news that the Cowboy offense has struggled in 2021, but stylistically, the Pokes are scoring when they need to.

Oklahoma State has relied on its defense through its first five games. Typically, defenses work better from ahead, holding onto a lead, as opposed to having to find some way to score. In three games this season (Missouri State, Kansas State and Baylor), the Cowboys’ offense has scored a touchdown on its opening possession.

OSU is averaging 378.4 yards of total offense a game this season, which ranks seventh in the Big 12.
