Oklahoma State Cowboys CFB Betting

At the beginning of the season, the Oklahoma State Cowboys were touted as one o the teams to watch for the Big 12 championship. The Pokes made the 2023 Bgi 12 Championship Game and returned several key contributors from that team. But following a 3-0 start to the 2024 campaign, the Cowboys imploded with losses in their final nine games. Head coach Mike Gundy is catching plenty of heat for the disastrous campaign, and plenty of changes are expected to come in the weeks ahead. The Cowboys and Gundy have plenty of introspection and analysis to go through as to why what was considered to be a promising season was lost.

Oklahoma State Cowboys 2024 Season Recap

Oklahoma State was one of the biggest betting on college football using crypto failures in the 2024 season.

Last game, the Oklahoma State Cowboys lost 52-0 against the Colorado Buffaloes as 14.5-point road dogs. The game went under the total of 67.5. Oklahoma State has a record of 3-9 straight up, 3-9 against the spread, and 7-5 over/under the total. Oklahoma State ranks 83rd for total offense, 33rd for passing, 117th for rushing and 72nd for scoring. Defensively, they rank 133rd overall, 132nd against the pass, 129th against the rush, and 126th for points allowed. Also, Oklahoma State ranks 117th for fewest turnovers lost and 35th for takeaways.

Oklahoma State’s disastrous 2024 season is finally over. OSU lost its season finale against Colorado at Folsom Field in Boulder. In a season of poor performances, OSU saved its worst for last. Thanks to a final drive with more yards than the rest of the game combined, OSU finished with 147 total yards, its fewest in a game since a 109-yard performance in Bedlam in 2009.

With the game already out of reach in the fourth quarter, Maealiuaki Smith threw a pick-six to former OSU player DJ McKinney, whose celebration in the end zone drew an unsportsmanlike conduct. McKinney’s play is one of many that has gone against OSU this season but perfectly summed up not only Friday’s game but the entire season.

After OSU’s defense stepped up and held the Buffaloes scoreless in the second quarter to escape the first half down three touchdowns, it quickly let go of the ropes after halftime. A 69-yard pass from Shedeur Sanders to LaJohntay Wester extended the Buffaloes' lead less than a minute into the third quarter. After yet another poor OSU possession, Travis Hunter found the end zone for the second time on an 8-yard catch.

Hunter added to his Heisman campaign early, picking off Maealiuaki Smith on the first drive of the game. Colorado quickly capitalized on the turnover with a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. It never got much better for the Cowboys.

OSU’s ensuing drive stalled out, and its next drive ended early after Brennan Presley fumbled a catch in his territory. Shedeur Sanders threw a couple of touchdowns, including one to Hunter, to take a 21-0 lead into the second quarter.

OSU’s offense never came along in the first half, but the defense did just enough to get out of the first half without any more damage being done. Still, without any consistency or rhythm offensively, OSU’s task of beating a ranked team on the road was nearly impossible.

“That one didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to,” Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. “I don’t even have to look at the stat sheet, but we didn’t really give ourselves a chance on offense. It was so bad it would be hard to point something out.”

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have always operated in the shadow of their arch rival Oklahoma Sooners. In fact, the intrastate rivalry between the two schools has been dominated by Oklahoma in a lopsided manner. Oklahoma has a record of 90-19-7 against Oklahoma State.

The future of the Cowboys is more chaotic than ever before. Oklahoma and Texas will move to the SEC by 2024 and break apart from OSU. With the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the Big Ten, a ripple effect of future conference realignment is guaranteed. Where that leaves the Pokes is anyone’s guess.

Oklahoma State has one national championship (1945) with ten conference titles.

Mike Gundy has a career-wi-nning percentage of .675 in 18 seasons as the Oklahoma State head coach. That is the best performance since Pappy Waldorf in the early 1930s. Since 2006, Gundy has led the Cowboys to a bowl game every season. Gundy has led OSU to eight double-digit win seasons in the past 13 years. Since 2008, the Cowboys have finished in the final national top 25 rankings ten times. Last year, Gundy beat Oklahoma in what could be the final Bedlam Game ever.

Despite operating as the little brother of Oklahoma, the Cowboys have had plenty of great players come through their program. Barry Sanders won the 1988 Heisman Trophy and starred for the Detroit Lions. Other great Cowboys of the past include Mason Rudolph, Matt Fodge, Justin Blackmon, James Washington, and Dan Bailey.
