misguided imo. Oklahoma State is 12th in the conference for points scored, which isn't great, but they've only been held below 20 points twice. On the other hand, Oklahoma State's defense is dead last in the conference. The only Big12 opponent who didn't score at least 38 points against OKST was Utah, who only managed 22.

And Oklahoma State's bye week game prep was exacerbated by BYU having a short week. Both BYU and Utah will have a bye week to prepare. I have very little concern about how BYU's defense or special teams match up against Utah's offense or special teams. My main concern is Utah's defense, especially as they're getting a bunch of 2-deep players back for their front 7.
