TCU is fresh off a win against Texas and is headed to Stillwater in Week 10. What are the keys to an Oklahoma State football win over the Horned Frogs?

Oklahoma State football (5-3, 2-3) faces a couple of important challenges in its upcoming home game against TCU (4-3, 2-2): can the Cowboys maintain momentum after a road win against No. 23 Iowa State last weekend? Can OSU stop a Horned Frog offense that regained its confidence in a 37-27 win last week against Texas?

TCU seeks to win its third game in a row against the Cowboys in this Week 10 Saturday afternoon contest. Before last week’s big wins, both of these two teams had lost three of four and were looking for answers.

Wins against a ranked conference foe by both TCU and OSU in Week 9 gives these two programs a brighter outlook for the 2019 season. For the winner of this Saturday’s game, a spot in the Top 25 is likely. The losing team will fall to a sub-.500 mark in Big 12 play.

Since 2005, these two programs have combined to miss only one postseason appearance: TCU in 2013, before its 12-1 season and No. 3 final AP ranking the following year.

How can Oklahoma State, a slim three-point favorite by the oddsmakers, deliver a victory for the home crowd at Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday afternoon?
