STILLWATER – It’s officially game day once again for Oklahoma State and the Cowboys are in Fort Worth to take on Gary Patterson and the TCU Horned Frogs.
Oklahoma State is coming off a 50-44 win over Texas Tech and while the defense made some big plays and stops, they’ll be looking to have a bounce back game and hold TCU to under their season average of scoring 28-points per game this season.
Pregame sights: Oklahoma State-TCU
Since the Cowboys are on the road, they’ll be wearing their road white jerseys with black pants and white helmets with the brand logo. Always a clean look.
News broke this morning that starting running back Chuba Hubbard and back up quarterback Shane Illingworth won’t be available for this game. This is the last day of Illingworth’s quarantine following testing positive for COVID-19 and head coach Mike Gundy said Hubbard didn’t practice this week.
