It came down to holding a four point lead with just over a minute to go and the beat up Cowboys defense came up a few plays and too many seconds short.
Run defense was okay, needs to improve and should. Pass rush was good, and coverage had a chance to be spectacular but two potential picks were dropped.
Kobe Black has been to most of the Oklahoma State home football games this season. Yes, to see his brother but along the way Oklahoma State has jumped into the mix.
They did it with pass rush and they did it with a mix of coverage and Will Howard threw three picks was never as commanding as he was a year ago against the Pokes.
No Oklahoma State Cowboys included on The Athletic's Bruce Feldman's College Football Freaks. My guess is Rob Glass doesn't share that information with Feldman. Here's our version.
With the changes on defense and new coordinator Bryan Nardo, some positions have gone kind of unnoticed. Cornerback is darn important, no matter odd or even front.
