The full read on the Cowboys
Written Sat Oct 31, before the Cyclones game.
Season so far
Oklahoma State is 4-2, with a 3-0 home record and a 1-2 road record. The Cowboys have scored 57 against Colorado and 42 against UCF, while allowing 35 in the loss at Houston and 24 in each of their wins over Colorado and West Virginia. They are ranked No. 24 this week.
The read
Oklahoma State enters tonight ranked No. 24 with a 4-2 record. The Cowboys are 3-0 at home and 1-2 on the road. Their latest result was a 57-24 home win over Colorado, after a 32-35 loss at Houston. Tonight they visit Iowa State, which is 2-4, with kickoff at 6:00 PM CT.
Eric Morris is in his first season leading a substantially reshaped program. The team brought in 91 new players and more than 40 staff members. Drew Mestemaker remains the starting quarterback. Against Colorado, he threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns, and Caleb Hawkins rushed for 120 yards. Sam Keltner made five field goals in that game, tying the program mark.
Williams Mason has joined Ayo Adeyi in the backup running-back listing after scoring against Colorado. Oklahoma State’s secondary is also adjusting: Mose Phillips III is expected to miss the rest of the season after a shoulder injury, and the updated chart lists Evan Jackson and Cam Epps as alternatives at his safety spot. LaDainian Fields and Mo Horn are listed at cornerback.
Carson Kolb and Dayvon Standard are out for tonight, while Quinton Hammonds and Landon Dean are questionable. Iowa State’s official report lists five players out and Trey Verdon as probable. Its game notes also identify additional players lost for the season, including several receivers and tight ends. These absences leave parts of both teams’ projected rotations uncertain.
