Oklahoma State-TCU: Official Game Thread

December 5, 2020

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.

Our own Marshall Levenson is in Fort Worth covering the game and will have all the angles from there while John Helsley and myself will be covering the game from home.

PREGAME

TCU wins the toss

FIRST QUARTER

Great return to start the game by Brennan Presley out to the 30-yard line.

Not a great start for the Cowboys as they go three and out on the opening drive.

DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN! Malcolm Rodriguez strips the ball away from Zach Evans and Brock Martin scoops and scores from the 43-yard line! (10:47) Oklahoma State leads 7-0.

Punt! Cowboy defense forces a TCU punt, Dillon Stoner with the fair catch on the OSU 39-yard line.

BIG PLAY! Dezmon Jackson takes off for a 26 yard gain to TCU’s side of the field.

The Cowboys defense has been spectacular so far today and has eaten just about eveything up. Force another three and out.

29-yards from Spencer Sanders to Dillon Stoner down to the TCU five-yard line!

TOUCHDOWN! Dez Jackson gets into the end zone from one-yard out! (4:11) Oklahoma State leads 13-0 after a failed extra point attempt.

SECOND QUARTER

NO GOOD! TCU’s Kell misses the field goal attempt from 43-yards out!

Punt! Oklahoma State’s defense forces another three and out. Stoner fields it and loses yards back to the 29-yard line.

BIG PLAY! Jelani Woods with the stutter step after the catch to pick up 46-yards down to the TCU 22-yard line!

Big loss! Tre Sterling drops Max Duggan for a seven yard loss following a fumbled hand off! Dillon Stoner fair catches the punt on the OSU 23-yard line.

SACK! Cameron Murrary sacks Max Duggan after Duggan almost fumbles a pass!

INTERCEPTION! Thomas Harper comes down with the interception following the long throw from Duggan!

FUMBLE! The Cowboy defense forces another fumble that’s recovered by Malcolm Rodriguez! First down and 10 for the Pokes from the TCU 23-yard line.

Missed field goal: Oklahoma State just missed its third field goal on the day, two field goals and one extra point. That’s seven points left off the board and the Pokes trail TCU by five.

That's a massive fumble recovery there for Oklahoma State. Gives the Pokes new life with the third takeaway of the day.

Another vanilla gameplan and playcalling. We RARELY if ever attack the middle of the field. One crossing route goes for a lot of yardage, NEVER go back to it.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand the offensive game plan today.
TeaTownCowboy

I rarely ever understand it. Poor Tylan, we just don't have him run very creative patterns. 90% of the same thing. As if defenses don't see those trends.

It's up to the defense to score again I guess.

Tylan Wallace to save the day, but no conversion on the two-point attempt. However, Barlow gives the Pokes a little bit more new life as he steps out of bounds on the one-yard line on the kick off.

Tylan being reported as questionable to return this afternoon. They're reporting knee pain, which is bad for not just the rest of the season, but for Wallace's future as well. Really hope it's nothing to serious.

71 yard touchdown given up by the Cowboys. Down 29-22 now. Offense needs to score on this drive badly.

I already blamed the play calling earlier.... my recent complaint was SS pulling the ball out and standing there shell shocked surprised that he had the ball with 2 guys in his face.

late passes... missed passes... bad reads... nothing to do with play calling
CaliforniaCowboy

and just like that, he redeems himself....

just a flat out horrible pass to wide-open Woods with the game on the line.

Hopefully Illingworth will be available for the next game.
CaliforniaCowboy

the defense.... wow... just wow

Is this the best defense OSU has faced this season? No. Is the offense acting like it's the best defense? Yes.
CaliforniaCowboy

yipes... yet another bad read by SAnders to pull the ball out

You got a 6'7" TE mismatch and you have him run a route STRAIGHT into the end zone instead of a look-in???

you have a 6'7' TE and he's wide open up the middle and you OVER THROW him? How is that even possible?
