The Mountaineers are facing an Oklahoma State team that is 7-1 and ranked #11 in the country. The Mountaineers also have a 6 game losing stream to the Cowboys dating all the way back to 2015. The Cowboys have been a thorn in the Mountaineers side in those games. The Cowboys took the Mountaineers to overtime in 2015, prevailing 33-26. In 2016, they appeared to just be too much for the #10 ranked Mountaineers, embarrassing them 37-20. 2017, in the rain, Mason Rudolph shined while Will Grier played one of his worst games, throwing four interceptions as the Cowboys dropped 50. 2018, the Mountaineers owned a 31-14 lead at halftime and lost 45-41. 2019, the Cowboys trailed 13-10 in the fourth quarter before 10 straight points won the game. Last year, the Mountaineers had a chance to stop the Cowboys and couldn’t as they pulled away 27-13.
