<p>The Cowboys overcame a 12-point halftime deficit with 20 second-half points.</p> <p id="aDoUXb">No. 14 <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com">Oklahoma State</a> used two turnovers to its advantage to pick up a 20-18 win against <a href="https://www.bringonthecats.com">Kansas State</a> on Saturday in Manhattan.</p>
<p id="3DctYS">The key play came with just under seven minutes left in regulation when <span>Israel Antwine</span> stripped K-State quarterback <span>Will Howard</span> in the red zone. Then, Jason Taylor returned it 85 yards in a play that wound up likely being a 14-point swing in favor of the <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Cowboys</a>.</p>

<p id="1J0WZh">Kansas State (4-3, 4-2) nearly Kansas State’d its way into a win, using a full compliment of fullbacks, tight ends, quarterback runs, i-formations and the likes. Howard finished with nearly as many rushing yards (125) as the entire OSU offense (148) from his spot at quarterback. </p>
<p id="fPOpjY">The Wildcats will likely come away feeling about how OSU (5-1, 4-1 Big 12) did against Texas last weekend. K-State out-gained OSU 370-256 but lost the turnover battle 2-0, with both coming in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p id="RNFGGU">OSU was dormant on offense in the first half after playing nearly all backups on the offensive line after an ankle injury to <span>Teven Jenkins</span> — that is evidenced by the 83 total first half yards. Of course, an injured <span>Chuba Hubbard</span> (six carries for 31 yards) and <span>Tylan Wallace</span> (played one snap) did not help.</p>
<p id="30OPRg"><span>Spencer Sanders</span> threw for 108 yards on 14-for-23, no touchdowns and no turnovers. The game was won on defense and the legs of <span>LD Brown</span> — originally reported to be out — who carried 15 times for 110 yards. The Cowboys’ two touchdowns were career firsts’ for Taylor on the “scoop”-and-score and <span>Brennan Presley</span> on a third quarter jet sweep.</p>

<p id="wDwQcB">As mentioned, the Cowboys will travel to Norman to take on Oklahoma (5-2, 4-2) on Nov. 21 after the upcoming bye week. OSU will need to beat OU to retain control of its own destiny. A loss would give each team two in the conference with OU holding a tie-breaking win. </p>
<p id="1NUnSe">A Cowboy win in Norman would likely eliminate the Sooners from Big 12 championship game contention while giving OSU an edge on the rest of the conference to assume a spot. OSU will play Texas Tech, at TCU and at Baylor to close out the season. </p>

<p id="Cwp5bn">Junior safety <span>Kolby Harvell-Peel</span> and senior wide receiver <span>Tylan Wallace</span> will not play, <a href="https://twitter.com/holcombOKBLITZ/status/1325157909500628992">according</a> to the Cowboy Radio Network’s pregame show. Wallace did participate in pregame warmups, but sat out because of a “tweaked” a muscle he suffered during practice this week.</p>
<p id="JFgs9B">Harvell-Peel — one of the leaders of OSU’s defense — left last week’s game with a head injury. He has 15 tackles (11 solo), two interceptions and two passes defended.</p>
<p id="69zlzi"><span>Wallace</span> had 11 receptions for 187 yards and two scores in OSU’s overtime loss to Texas a week ago to increase his Big 12-leading totals to 35 catches, 588 yards and four touchdowns. </p>

OSU is a half game back of K-State (4-2, 3-1) and No. 17 <a href="https://www.widerightnattylite.com">Iowa State</a> (4-2, 3-1) atop the conference standings.

<p id="MQE4hp">OSU coach Mike Gundy said he’ll stick with <span>Spencer Sanders</span> after the quarterback had a career-high 400 yards and four touchdowns, but committed three turnovers (one interception, two fumbles) against Texas. <span>Sanders</span> was playing in just his second full game this season after recovering from ankle injury from the season opener.</p>

<p>We chatted with our friends over at Bring on the Cats to find out more about the Wildcats. </p> <p id="bdC4xa">As No. 14 <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com">Oklahoma State</a> prepares to visit <a href="https://www.bringonthecats.com">Kansas State</a> at 3 p.m. Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas, we reached out to Jon Morse of SB Nation’s K-State site Bring On The Cats for some insight on the Wildcats.</p>
<p id="ZATHkK"><strong>CRFF: What is the K-State stat OSU fans should pay attention to Saturday?</strong></p>
<p id="ADqBHE">BOTC: Technically, it’s an OSU stat: your third-down conversion ratio. If K-State is forcing the <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Cowboys</a> to punt, it’s going to be a long day for OSU. If, instead, they’re just letting <span>Chuba Hubbard</span> run for 14 yards every time there’s a third-and-8, it’ll look a lot like last week’s disaster in Morgantown.</p>
<p id="MFlQuP"><strong>CRFF: Who is the unsung hero is for the </strong><a href="https://www.bringonthecats.com/"><strong>Wildcats</strong></a><strong>?</strong></p>
<p id="VBmtPz">BOTC: I’ll have to lean heavily into “unsung” here, because everyone who pays a basic level of attention to the Cats already knows about their offensive weapons. <span>Ekow Boye-Doe</span>, a redshirt sophomore who was pressed into action during the “40+ guys with COVID” extravaganza on opening week, immediately forced himself into the starting corner role. K-State has had decent corners, but none have looked as good in pass defense as Boye-Doe in a long, long while. You’ll want to keep an eye on the receiver matchup with him. If Boye-Doe’s having a bad game, he’s still going to bust up some plays. If he’s having a good one, he’ll take that receiver entirely out of the contest.</p>

<p id="bsI89a">BOTC: Catching the football, apparently. Most people pointed to the bad game <span>Will Howard</span> had last week. While that’s not untrue, his receivers have not been overly helpful. He had seven incompletions two weeks ago; one was a ball he deliberately threw out of bounds and the other seven were either drops or in one case a missed route assignment. Last week, the drops continued — and two of them directly led to interceptions. I am told by reliable sources that offenses move a lot better when receivers catch the balls that are thrown to them. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I’m all ears.</p>
<p id="3PEVlV"><strong>CRFF: What is this team’s biggest strength?</strong></p>
<p id="k9mflK">BOTC: Right now, it’s the secondary. In addition to Boye-Doe, <span>Justin Gardner</span> has had a great season at the other corner while <span>Jahron McPherson</span> has been a stud at safety for a couple of years now. <span>Ross Elder</span>, a converted wideout, has taken over at free safety; he was shaky early in the year but has visibly improved every week.</p>
<p id="YO1B56"><strong>CRFF: What is the overall pulse from the fanbase regarding this K-state team? What are they expecting the rest of the season?</strong></p>
<p id="0dMZgY">BOTC: After the Arkansas State debacle, the fan base mostly decided this was an exhibition season. That changed a bit with the 4-0 league start, but it didn’t entirely go away as evidenced by post-game reactions to last week’s loss. They realize that a 1-3 finish over the final four games is totally on the table, but there’s also some optimistic feeling that it could just as easily go 3-1 (or even 4-0 if K-State can escape with a win Saturday). Ultimately, I’d say right now the expectation is a third- or fourth-place finish and at least a 6-win season.</p>
<p id="HTWpEY"><strong>CRFF: Score prediction?</strong></p>
<p id="hPdpvn">BOTC: Oh, I have no idea. The health and effectiveness of <span>Deuce Vaughn</span> and <span>Briley Moore</span> is still an open question, and it’s unclear just how much of last week’s mess was a lack of experience on <span>Howard</span>’s part as opposed to West Virginia simply doing an exceptional job preparing for the Wildcat offense. Similarly, the defense had been nails for a month before suddenly turning into matadors in a bullring last week. What I will say is that the best case for K-State is to win a close one, and the worst case is suffering another blowout.</p>
