Five Defining Plays from Oklahoma State’s Win over Texas
The Cowboys earned a huge road win over Texas to move to 6-0 for the first time in six years. It was a game full of ups, downs and momentum shifts. But I narrowed down the five plays that changed the course of the game and led to the comeback win.
1. First Third-Down Stop
This one is really more of a representation of a game-deciding stat, an icon for the Cowboys’ dominance as a defense.
Texas came in ranked second in the league in third-down conversions at 51.9 percent, but the Cowboys defense came in allowing a Big 12-best 28.4 percent. One thing had to give and it wasn’t going to be Jim Knowles’ group.
