This looks like a record broken by the Oklahoma State Cowboys football team. Every week the Cowboys face a seemingly must-win football game. But when the dust settles, O-State is looking for its first Big 12 Conference victory of the year.

After a four-game slump, the Cowboys are below .500, and their 3-4 record this year leaves them in dire need of a victory. The path to a respectable 8-4 2024 season goes through the Baylor Bears. One bright spot for the Cowboys moving forward is that none of their remaining opponents are ranked in the Top 25. After a tough outing against a potentially top-10 BYU Cougar football team a week ago, Oklahoma State may be on to something. .

Considering the number of injuries they have faced this season, Oklahoma State may fall behind the eight ball. No position has been hit harder than the quarterback position. The Cowboys started the season with senior Alan Bowman under center. Bowman had a breakout season a year ago, but he proved early that 2024 will suit Bowman.

With both backup quarterbacks injured during the season, the job once again falls on Bowman’s shoulders. He showed great strength a week ago and may have gotten the boost he needed to lead the Cowboys to victory over the Bears.

Bowman’s story could come to fruition today against the Bears. If he can lead the Cowboys to victory once again and spur a postseason winning streak, Cowboy Nation can forget about its four-game losing streak and begin conference play in 2024.

There is so much involved in the showdown with Baylor that many questions can be answered today. Are the Cowboys among the top 20 football teams we expect this season? Can they salvage the season and play in the bowl game this year?
