No. 12 Texas faces its toughest test of the season when it visits Oklahoma State on Saturday night.
Texas has won 12 of 14 in this series, but the two losses have come in the past two matchups. Last year in Austin, Oklahoma State never trailed and ended up winning 38-26. J.W. Walsh will get the start under center for the Cowboys, coming off a 347-yard, 4-TD day in a 65-24 thumping of Louisiana-Lafayette. Texas QB David Ash threw for a pathetic 3.5 yards per pass in the home defeat to OSU, but he ranks third in the nation in passing efficiency (190.49), and tossed 4 TD in his last game, a 66-31 thumping. Although Texas hasn’t lost in Stillwater since 1997, a streak of six straight wins, these two programs are much more on par now than they have ever been. This game will be determined by which unit is better, the athletic Longhorns defense or the explosive OSU offense. The Cowboys just don’t let up after a high-scoring affair, as they are 13-2 ATS off 1 or more straight Overs during the past three seasons. Also, road teams after gaining 475+ total yards in their previous game against opponent after gaining 6.75+ yards per play in two consecutive games are 15-42 ATS (26%) in the past 10 seasons.
Ash has been outstanding (55-for-72, 703 yards, 7 TD, 0 INT), but he had a terrible game against Oklahoma State last year, completing just 22-of-40 passes for 139 yards (3.5 YPA), 0 TD and 2 INT. However, the Longhorns were able to rush the football on OSU with 231 yards on 49 carries (4.7 YPC), led by Malcolm Brown’s 135 yards on 19 carries (7.1 YPC) and two touchdowns. Brown leads the ‘Horns with 238 rushing yards (6.4 YPC) and is tied with Joe Bergeron (207 rushing yards) with a team-best three rushing TD. Bergeron injured his shoulder in the last game, but is expected to play on Saturday. Although Texas was never in jeopardy of losing its most reccent game at Ole Miss, the defense was unimpressive, allowing 31 points and 399 total yards. The Longhorns helped themselves by forcing three turnovers, giving them seven in just three games on the year.

Although Joseph Randle leads the Big 12 in rushing this season (112 rush YPG), it was Jeremy Smith (173 rush yds, 6.9 YPC, 4 TD) who put forth a huge performance against Texas in 2011, gaining 140 yards on just seven carries, including touchdown runs of 74 and 30 yards. Like his counterpart Ash, Walsh has done a great job in his decision-making this year, ranking sixth in the nation in passing efficiency (183.26) and throwing for 496 yards, 6 TD and 1 INT. Freshman Wes Lunt injured his knee last game and is doubtful to challenge Walsh for playing time in this game. Lunt was the hero on Sept. 8 in a 59-38 blowout at Arizona, throwing for 436 yards and 4 TD (plus 3 INT too). The Cowboys quarterbacks have thrived with great protection from a top-notch offensive line that hasn’t allowed a single sack in three games this year. Defensively, Oklahoma State needs to correct a few problems, as it has allowed 439 total YPG in its past two contests.
