#16 Oklahoma State vs. Missouri Preview

October 17th 9:15 ET

Line: Oklahoma State -7

Oklahoma State defeated Texas A&M 36-31 despite playing without two of the better players in Dez Bryant and Kendall Hunter. Both will likely be out for the matchup against Missouri.

The Tigers are coming off of their 1 st defeat of the season to Nebraska 27-12. The Tigers held a 9-0 lead at the half but could only muster one field goal in the 2 nd half. Missou QB Blaine Gabbert had a miserable day completing only 17 of his 53 attempts while throwing 2 interceptions.

Prediction: A big game for both teams. Oklahoma State is still in the hunt for the Big 12 south title. A win here plus some breaks with Bryant and Hunter and the Pokes will be difficult to ignore. Missouri, despite the loss to Nebraska, is still a player in the Big 12 North. The home crowd for the Cowboys will be the difference. Oklahoma State wins a shootout in Stillwater.
