The Oklahoma State Cowboys seemed to have found their stride against Kansas State barring just one issue in their 29-21 win last week. They struggled to complete drives and get into the end zone.

This hasn't been an issue against Kansas, however, as the Cowboys have gotten off to a hot start. First, a couple of huge plays of Alan Bowman and Ollie Gordon connecting led to a touchdown. Gordon took a pass for 50 yards before scoring a 17-yard receiving touchdown on the same drive.

After a quick stop, the Cowboys drove down the field in nine plays for Brennan Presley to score a 20-yard receiving touchdown.

The Jayhawks would respond with a touchdown, but, overall, beating the defense is what's important for the Cowboys. If Oklahoma State can continue playing from ahead, Kansas will have to continue playing from behind and the Cowboys can force them into a mistake, which would absolutely change the trajectory of this game.

This game has a Big 12 shootout written all over it. The ball is moving quickly and big plays are being had. There should be plenty more highlights coming from this one.
