Two weeks ago, a 41-34 win over Texas to bounce back from a double-OT collapse at TCU seemingly put the Pokes back into pole position to be one of the two teams last standing in the Big 12 title game. But after a 48-0 beatdown on Saturday at the hands of Kansas State, a date this Saturday against Kansas suddenly looms larger than expected as the Cowboys barrel headfirst into the homestretch of their conference schedule.
So what do we make of how things stand now? Should we readjust expectations? Will we still be pumping out game content the first week of December from Dallas?
