Oklahoma State heads into homecoming with a classic uniform look and a matchup against Colorado that’s rare in recent years. The Cowboys’ offense is piling up yards, but its red-zone results remain a notable weakness.

By the Numbers
  • Oklahoma State averages 517.7 yards per game, leading the Big 12.
  • West Virginia ranks second at 497.1 yards per game.
  • The Cowboys score on 85.3% of red-zone trips, ranking eighth in the conference.
  • Saturday’s game will be just the second meeting between Oklahoma State and Colorado in 10 years.
Yes, But

Oklahoma State’s offense is highly productive between the 20s, but its eighth-place red-zone ranking suggests that yardage isn’t consistently turning into points.

State of Play
  • The Cowboys are preparing for homecoming against Colorado.
  • Former Oklahoma State player Donovan Woods is returning to the athletic department in a development role.
  • A possible Maryland coaching reunion is hinted at, but no details are provided.
Bottom Line

Oklahoma State has the Big 12’s most productive offense by yardage, but improving its red-zone efficiency could be the difference between moving the ball and maximizing homecoming weekend.
