Texas faces a must-win game in Stillwater on Saturday against Oklahoma State.
If the Longhorns hope to have any shot of securing the Big 12 title this season, defeating the No. 6 team in the nation would certainly help their cause.
The Cowboys have a perfect 4-0 overall record up to this point. You can argue the case that Oklahoma State hasn’t played a quality squad yet, but they did defeat Iowa State in a crucial conference matchup last week.
On the other hand, Texas hasn’t lived up to the hype this season. The Longhorns have the most talented roster in the Big 12 yet can’t seem to get out of their own way. Head coach Tom Herman is fielding an undisciplined unit that commits bonehead penalties and turnovers in each contest.

Bleacher Report
After a two-week hiatus, Oklahoma State returned with a 24-21 victory over a good Iowa State team. Spencer Sanders threw a pair of interceptions in his first action since getting injured in the first quarter of the Cowboys’ opener. But Chuba Hubbard broke loose for 139 yards, and Sanders added 71 rushing yards himself. The Longhorns have plenty of offensive firepower, but they’ve provided little defensive resistance all year, and the trio of Sanders, Hubbard and receiver Tylan Wallace is going to be a handful.
