For about three-and-a-half quarters last Saturday, it felt as if Oklahoma State was on track to lose its homecoming bout vs. Texas before pouring on a 17-0 run to close the game. But guess what? When you have a Hall of Fame-caliber head coach and the best quarterback in the Big 12, sometimes you can play ugly and still win.
The Cowboys will look to (hopefully) put out a more aesthetically pleasing (and less blood pressure-raising) product on the field Saturday as they head to Manhattan, Kansas to face Kansas State, but an ugly win would count as a win — and a big one at that.
