Oklahoma State hung with Oklahoma much of Saturday night, but the Cowboys could never get a play to swing momentum in a 34-16 loss. The grades reflect an effort that was decent but not dynamic enough against the Sooners.
Turnover margin: D
The OSU defense has been extremely opportunistic while the offense fixed the turnover problems that plagued it early in Big 12 play. But against OU, the offense gave the ball away while the defense failed to get a one. Defensively, the Cowboys never seemed to come all that close. No near interceptions. No almost fumbles.
