Game Log: No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys Takes Down No. 16 Baylor
The No.9 Oklahoma State Cowboys open their Big 12 slate on the road, looking for revenge against the No. 16 Baylor Bears.
The Bears come into the game at 3-1 and 1-0 in the Big 12 after a convincing victory at Iowa State last week, although the 31-24 final score didn't quite show off Baylor's performance.
The Cowboys have yet to face a serious test and sit at 3-0 with wins over Central Michigan, Arizona State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This is the first road game of the season for Mike Gundy's team.
Saturday's matchup is notably a rematch of last year's Big 12 Championship Game, a 21-16 victory for the Bears as they stopped the Cowboys on 4th and goal from the 1-yard line.
The Cowboys lead the all-time series 22-19 but the Bears hold a slight 9-7 edge over Oklahoma State in Waco.
