Yet another tricky contest for Texas as the Longhorns must travel to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State. Luckily, this welcome on the heels of a bye week, giving Texas two weeks to prepare for arguably its toughest matchup of the season.

The Cowboys, like Oklahoma, no longer has its all-everything starting quarterback as Mason Rudolph has moved on, giving way to either Taylor Cornelius or Dru Brown.

The quarterback position may be a weakness for Oklahoma State this season, but that doesn’t make Boone Pickens Stadium less tough of a venue.

Sam Ehlinger will have a strong game, but his defense won’t do him many favors as Justice Hill will go off for 200-plus rushing yards. He’ll put Oklahoma State’s offense on his back and finish with three total touchdowns as well.

Oklahoma State may not be quite the same team as it was a season ago, but no Big 12 foe like traveling to Stillwater.

Final Score: Texas 23, Oklahoma State 31 (5-3, 2-3 Big 12)
