Oklahoma State Cowboys
Oklahoma State’s season has spiraled since the firing of longtime coach Mike Gundy in late September. The Cowboys are still winless in Big 12 play after a 49-17 home loss to Cincinnati last week — their sixth straight defeat.
Despite the struggles, running back Rodney Fields Jr. has emerged as a bright spot, rushing for 163 yards and a touchdown against the Bearcats. He leads the team with 420 yards on the season. Interim coach Doug Meacham has also experimented at quarterback, with Sam Jackson V — a converted receiver — now under center. Jackson passed for 149 yards against Cincinnati and continues to use his mobility to extend plays.
Oklahoma State’s defense has been opportunistic at times, recording three interceptions and three fumble recoveries this season. Special teams have also been steady, with kicker Logan Ward hitting 11 field goals, ranking 22nd nationally.

Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas Tech’s 26-22 loss at Arizona State snapped its unbeaten start, and coach Joey McGuire emphasized a renewed focus on the running game after producing just 109 rushing yards. Backup quarterback Will Hammond filled in for injured starter Behren Morton, throwing for 167 yards and two touchdowns.
Morton remains day-to-day with a leg injury and could return this week, which would provide a major boost for the Red Raiders’ offense. When healthy, he’s thrown for 1,501 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.
The Red Raiders still boast elite production despite the loss. They rank third nationally in points scored (307) and top 10 in first downs (174). Their defense has been equally impressive, ranking fourth nationally with 25 sacks. With a balanced attack and a deep defensive front, Texas Tech remains a strong contender for a New Year’s Six bowl.
