Help me out CB....why are some here worried about Oklahoma St?

WJCougar

Oct 13, 6:08pm

Because they might beat us.

Plantagenet

Oct 13, 6:09pm

But of all the teams.....this is not that much of a worry.

WJCougar

Oct 13, 6:09pm

Exactly. I’m more confident in BYU than before, but Pokes in bad mood at home

EM_Puma

Oct 13, 6:52pm

And by home, you mean BYU's home, Yes?

BYUDM93

Oct 13, 7:15pm

It’s what we know

Big12Yfan

Agreed.

BYU history letting bad teams have thier best game of the year.

germ1

Oct 13, 6:10pm

Have we not learned yet that this team don’t care about history

WDaddy

Oct 13, 6:12pm

I sure hope they are that team, looks great so far.

germ1

Oct 13, 6:14pm

Sure, but all it takes is one week of lackluster prep and focus.

ldssdl

Oct 13, 6:34pm

Because we’re weak and would rather say “I told you so” than be let down

Peterbilt

Oct 13, 6:10pm

The emotional hedge

NYCougz

Oct 13, 6:47pm

Vandy beat Bama… it’s a strange season

Peterbilt

Oct 13, 6:10pm

Yep. The better team doesn’t always win in sports.

ldssdl

Oct 13, 6:33pm

Upsets happen every week

NYCougz

Oct 13, 6:48pm

Vandy is first one out of top 25 this week. They're actually decent this year.

BackPacker

Oct 13, 8:19pm

Because even "terrible" teams can give the better teams all they can handle,

Shinshin

Oct 13, 6:14pm

Because they had a ton of talent and have underperformed.

macdizzle

Oct 13, 6:16pm

You’re kidding, right?

Refugee

Oct 13, 6:17pm

Lol....this is not the week to worry

WJCougar

Oct 13, 7:02pm

Neither was this:

OK State is actually garbage though. Even their own fans admit it.

andrewg3

Oct 13, 9:25pm

Well coached team with a new QB with something to prove coming off a bye week?

NOCAL_YFAN

Oct 13, 6:17pm

Not to mention the best running back in the Big12

NOCAL_YFAN

Any team can beat any team, any week

sah22

Oct 13, 9:53pm

They have a good coach that has had 2 weeks to prep. He could turn it around -

RGGeemer

Oct 13, 6:20pm

Because they are coming out of bye week and we’re coming off a short week

Longseason

Oct 13, 6:20pm

Because if you give a head coach like Mike Gundy a bye week he might be able to

RedHeadedStranger

Oct 13, 6:20pm

I think I remember hearing that he is 4-0 the last 4 bye weeks.

byubyu

That will come to an end.

Are you new to college football or sports in general?

1 more: cold rainy game could lead to a huge advantage to whoever has the best

RGGeemer

We have seen this movie before and it is usually a slasher

JimmyZ

Oct 13, 6:27pm

We’re just staying humble

cmoney

Oct 13, 6:28pm

Seriously? Have you never heard of an upset before? Or a trap game?

ldssdl

Oct 13, 6:31pm

Players are only human, and if they’re viewing this one the same way you do…

ninja math

Oct 13, 7:17pm

I think it is difficult for a good team to not overlook an opponent that is struggling

Knight-who-says-ni

Oct 13, 7:22pm

It's Gundy. He may use a game like this to spring himself and his team out of

Schrodizzy

Oct 13, 7:26pm

This is why I’m worried about it. They still have one of the best running backs

NonmormonYfan89

Oct 13, 8:02pm

Are they switching to that highly recruited QB

Haysom Till

Oct 13, 7:43pm

I worry about every game.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Oct 13, 8:27pm

Honestly....this is the first game since WYO that I am not worried.

WJCougar

Oct 13, 8:35pm

Their backs are against the wall. A cornered animal fights. Don’t underestimate

UMass 2017. Stuff happens.

here's to hoping

Oct 13, 8:45pm

ESPN only has us winning a 63% chance.

here's to hoping

Oct 13, 8:47pm

They beat Arkansas (SOR 29) who just beat #4 Tennessee.

here's to hoping

Oct 13, 8:50pm

Oklahoma States SOR is only 4 spots worse than Arizona's SOR.

here's to hoping

Oct 13, 8:51pm

If I have to hear this completely irrelevant anecdote one more time…

andrewg3

Oct 13, 9:26pm

I knew someone was going to complain about my post. Ok St isn't UMass either.

here's to hoping

Oct 13, 10:29pm

NO! Not at all!! Holy selective memory Batman!

andrewg3

Oct 13, 11:18pm

And just to further prove my point with actual data…

andrewg3

Oct 13, 11:22pm

Oops, make that an 8.5 line now

andrewg3

Oct 13, 11:24pm

And also…who is giving this thumbs ups??

andrewg3

Oct 13, 11:28pm

so you think OSU will just come in and roll over?

mindzeYe

Oct 13, 9:32pm

Because Kalani usually has at least one emotional letdown game every year. Also

WillsPitStop

Oct 13, 9:41pm

Because I'm old enough to remember UTEP '85.

Ollie Gordon won the Doak Walker award last year. They have massive talent

There are no easy wins in this conference

Sorry, byu has proved to be a good team but not worrying about a game is

Always good to have a healthy respect for your opponent

Ok St overcame a 17 point deficit at half to keep us out of a bowl game in 2023.

It’s rare for teams to play great every game, and perhaps just as rare for

Polecat

Oct 13, 11:12pm

I worry every game. However

pappabear246

We have short week and they had a bye week and two weeks to prepare.

OSU sucked last year at the beginning. They could figure it out again.
