NCAA Betting Preview: Texas at Oklahoma State

First place in the Big 12 South will be on the college football betting line Saturday evening in Stillwater as No. 14 Oklahoma State hosts No. 3 Texas (8 p.m. ET, ABC). The Longhorns have won 11 straight over the Cowboys in this series and they are favored to make it 12 in a row on Saturday.

Texas is an 8.5 point favorite and the total for the game is set at 51.5 at SBG Global.

Texas hasn’t lost to Oklahoma State since 1997 and the Horns lead the all-time series 21-2. Oklahoma State believes it has a chance this year to end the losing streak.

“I haven’t beat them since I’ve been here, same for the guys in there,” quarterback Zac Robinson said. “It’s a little extra motivation obviously with what’s on the line and both teams playing well right now. Having them at our place will be a lot of fun.”

For the Cowboys to win they will have to play defense and stop Texas quarterback Colt McCoy. That doesn’t seem likely considering McCoy has won all three of his starts against the Cowboys in the past completing 79.4 percent of his passes for 1,019 yards. Last season McCoy threw for 391 yards as Texas won at home 28-24.

The difference last year was the Texas defense and it could be that way again this time – the Cowboys’ D is ranked No. 2 in the country.

“They’re very athletic. They can run and they are physical,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said, “They’ve been that way for a number of years and I think they’re very well-coached.”

Oklahoma State will have to win without star wide receiver Dez Bryant who will miss the rest of the season due to a suspension.
