No. 12 Oklahoma State is set for its first Big 12 road game of the season, an 11 a.m. CT kick against No. 25 Texas in Austin.

Can't make it to Austin? Don't worry, Pokes Report has everything you need to follow the action from wherever you are! Be sure to join in on the discussion in the comment section!

The Cowboys are fresh off an open week, key word is fresh. As Robert Allen report Friday night, both Brock Martin and Tyren Irby are both back after missing the past few weeks. There’s also a decent chance we see cowboy back Logan Carter for the first time this season as he made the trip to Austin and is suiting up, but it’s not a guarantee.

Dave Hunziker reported on the Cowboy Radio Network freshman receiver Jaden Bray is out for the game and defensive tackle Jayden Jernigan is questionable.

Pregame

When it comes to uniforms, the Cowboys are going with a classic road look, matte black helmets with the orange brand logo, white jerseys, black pants and black shoes. In my opinion, it’s one of the best looks the Pokes have.

Captains for today’s game are offensive linemen Danny Godlevske and Josh Sills, linebacker Devin Harper and defensive back Demarco Jones.

Texas wins the toss and elects to receive the opening kick. Oklahoma State will start the second half with the ball.

First Quarter

Touchdown: Bijan Robinson gets into the end zone from one-yard out for the score (10:08) Oklahoma State trails 7-0.

Tanner Brown sends it out of the back of the end zone to start the game. Love it.

Solid opening drive for Texas. Cowboys came up with some stops, but Bijan had other plans. Need Spencer Sanders and the offense to come out firing on this drive.

A three and out is an less than ideal start for the Pokes.

Great series there by the defense to force Dicker to punt out of the back of the Texas end zone. Need some more play like that.

That's Tay Martin's second drop of the day, this time a fade in the corner of the end zone that would've been a touchdown. He's got to haul those in.

Jason Taylor II got burned on that 58-yarder from Thompson to Marcus Washington.

They were, however, able to get off the field by forcing a UT FG. Not too bad I suppose.

Sanders finds Martin for 13 yards and a first down, but Josh Sills is called for holding, which ends up resulting in another OSU punt. Let's see if the defense can have a similar stop as the last UT drive.

The offensive line needs to do a better job protecting Spencer Sanders and opening holes for the backs.

IDK what's going on, but OSU is REALLY struggling to catch the football today. The offensive line needs to do a better job as well.

Jarrick's called for a DPI, which gets Texas closer to the end zone, but that UT TD on the Pokes' offense. OL has to do a better job and the receivers have to do a better job catching the ball. Super weird first half.

Spencer, Spencer, Spencer. Fourth interception in the past two games....Not great.

JASON TAYLOR II TO THE HOUSE

Should've had a touchdown before the end of the first half, but poor clock management results in a FG. Still back within four, but could be tied.

Cowboys really need to score some points here on this drive.

Huge stop there by the OSU defense, including another tackle for loss for Collin Oliver. He's having a huge freshman season.

Sorry, Zach….didn't mean to leave you in here all by yourself lol. I've been very focused with the game on Fox. Thought I might pop in to see what folks were thinking about possibly seeing what Illingsworth can do

Honestly I don't think he gives OSU any better of a chance. While he's struggled, Sanders still gives them a better chance with his feet. Illingworth would've been sacked 6+ times today.

Collin Oliver ladies and gentlemen.
CanadianCowboy

Yep…you're right. That last possession showed why you're right, too. And now the defense is playing like their hair's on fire….maybe we are finding a way to win this one

oSu best offenses the last 10 years have been with QBs that aren't dual threat
CanadianCowboy

OK....and your point?...

Let's go enjoy this W, the D, and how the 2021 edition of the Pokes just find a way to win. Including with our dual threat QB
