Oklahoma State vs. Kansas: Three Players to Watch

After a much-needed win last Friday, Oklahoma State will look to build off that when it takes on the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday.

Kansas came away with the win last season, so OSU will be looking for revenge against another Kansas school this year.

This game will be highly contested, with both teams having athletes all over the field. Here are three Cowboys that you need to look out for on Saturday.

Brennan Presley

Mike Gundy said it on Monday; they need to get Brennan Presley the ball more. Presley comes in with only 186 yards and two touchdowns through five games. With Alan Bowman being the permanent starting quarterback, Presley will get more comfortable with him and the offense as a whole. 

On the season, Presley has 138 yards on 19 receptions, with two accompanying touchdowns. If Presley gets more touches and opportunities, Oklahoma State will have success on offense against the Jayhawks.

Nick Martin

Nick Martin had a night against Kansas State, recording 17 tackles against the Wildcat offense. Kansas is another team that likes to run, including triple-option run schemes. Oklahoma State’s defense will have to stay disciplined, but Martin especially. Kansas comes in ranked sixth in the country in rushing offense. Martin will have to be on his toes against the Jayhawks on Saturday.

Ollie Gordon

When Ollie Gordon is on, Oklahoma State’s offense is rolling. Gordon has been electric the last two games, rushing for 257 yards combined. The offense is balanced when Gordon is getting more touches and contributing more as a whole. I expect 15 or more carries and another big night on the ground for Gordon on Saturday. 

With the Cowboys finally going in on Gordon being the main back on the team, his opportunity has grown, and the offensive line has allowed for him to string together
