Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Oklahoma State does have positive parts.

The running game hasn't been awful. It hasn't been dominant, but it was good against both Tulsa and Baylor when the offense gave it a shot. For what it's worth, as bad as the last two games have been, the attack hasn't turned the ball over.

Arizona's offense is a bit hit-or-miss. It was fine against Hawaii and Weber State, but it wasn't nearly as sharp when it stepped up in weight class against Kansas State and Iowa State.

Why Arizona Will Win

Oklahoma State has zero mojo.

It's trying, and the effort is there, but there's just no execution in big moments to turn a corner.

Both sides of the ball are awful on third downs. The pass rush isn't even close, and go ahead and run the ball as much as you'd like against this front.

Arizona was able to run well against Kansas State and threw well at times in the loss to Iowa State.

Arizona Needs an Easy Win

And it'll get it.

Oklahoma State will keep trying. It'll put up a few points, and it'll have a few nice moments when it stops the Arizona attack, but the trickle will turn into an avalanche in the third quarter.

The lack of a Cowboy pass rush will prove deadly once Noah Fifita and the Arizona passing game settle in.
