Oklahoma State’s defense has been better than advertised in the early goings of 2020, but it will face its toughest challenge on Saturday.
The Cowboys sit atop the Big 12 in a number of defensive categories, namely scoring defense, red zone defense and third-down conversion percentage allowed.
But there is another, very important statistic in which the Cowboys are on pace for an historic year. (Again, it’s still early.)
Oklahoma State is currently ranked No. 8 in points per drive allowed (DPPD) according to BCF Toys. This stat nerd’s playground compiles raw points per possession data and filters out garbage time possessions.
