KEY STATS AND ANALYSIS

Heading into the game, the Longhorns are ranked 26th in points per game. In this week’s
matchup, Texas has a matchup against an Oklahoma State defense that is giving up 27.83 points per
game. However, their unit has done a good job getting of the field on 3rd downs, allowing
opponents to convert at a rate of just 26.0%. This presents a problem for the Longhorns offense,
as they are one of worst performing team’s on 3rd down this season.

Although the Longhorns have turned to the passing attack at a below-average rate this season,
they have an opportunity to find success through the air vs an Oklahoma State defense allowing
teams to complete passes at a rate of 64.91%.

This season, the run game has not been a big part of the Texas offense, as they are averaging
just 36.14 attempts per game. With their limited opportunites, they have an average of 179.86
yards per contest, good for 42nd in the NCAA. This week, the Longhorns will be facing an Oklahoma
State defense ranked 82nd in rush yards allowed per game. This year, they have averaged 197.8
yards per game when facing defenses ranked outside the top 50.

So far, the Cowboys are averaging 45.33 points per game on offense, which is good for 4th most
in college football. However, they have a tough draw this week as Texas’ defense is allowing an
average of 18.29 points per game.

One aspect of the game that could benefit an Oklahoma State offense that struggles to generate
big plays in the passing attack is that they are facing off a Texas defense that has yet to
generate a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. So far, the Longhorns are just 82nd in sacks
per game.

This season, the Oklahoma State offense has struggled in the run game, averaging just 155.67
yards per game on the ground. In terms of attempts, they rank 37th in the NCAA at 38.83 per
contest. This week, the Cowboys will be facing a Texas defense that is 40th in rush yards allowed
per game. So far, they have averaged 142.67 yards per game when facing top 25 rush defenses.

Heading into the game, the Cowboys will hope for some improved play from their defense, as
they are currently 75th at 27.83 points per game allowed.
