To begin with, Oklahoma State was touted for big things in 2020. Running back Chuba Hubbard led a core of players that could have gone to the NFL. Instead, they returned to play for a Big 12 title. However, a tumultuous off-season may have shown its NCAA Football betting effect in week one. Oklahoma State barely got past lightly regarded Tulsa in their season opener. Of great concern was how bad the Cowboys offense played. This week West Virginia comes calling. It follows that the Mountaineers will be a tougher opponent for the Cowboys.
