Oklahoma State Defense Trending Down
Oklahoma State is still searching for its 1st conference win of the season. The Cowboys started the season 3-0 but have now lost 3 games in a row. The Oklahoma State offense was averaging around 40 PPG, but during this skid, it has dropped to 14 to 20 points.
Two weeks ago, Oklahoma State lost to West Virginia at home, 38-14. The Cowboys were down 31-7 at halftime, and the rushing game managed only 36 yards. The offense turned the ball over twice and struggled to maintain possession throughout the game. Additionally, the rushing defense allowed 389 yards, which is a significant concern.
BYU Offense and Defense Playing Well
BYU is 6-0, and all 3 of their home games have been blowout wins. The Cougars even defeated #17 Kansas State by 29 points. Overall, BYU is 2-0 against ranked teams, primarily enjoying blowout victories along with a few close games. The team is performing well on both sides of the ball and is looking to move up in the rankings.
In their last game, BYU beat Arizona at home, 41-19. It took a moment for the BYU offense to get going, but they managed to score at least 13 points in 3 consecutive quarters. The offensive statistics for BYU were fairly even with Arizona; however, the difference was that the BYU defense forced 4 turnovers, and their YPP was 6.6. The Cougars’ offense is unlikely to start slowly against Oklahoma State, and their defense is expected to dominate for most of the game.
Oklahoma State vs BYU Prediction
BYU should easily cover the spread. Most of their wins have been blowout victories, and they were tested a couple of times against ranked teams while still playing well on defense. BYU scores around 40 points at home and typically allows a few late-game field goals and maybe a TD. Oklahoma State hasn’t won a conference game yet this season and usually falls behind early.
