One more step for the Oklahoma State Cowboys on their unexpected road to the BCS Championship Game, this is how everyone should see this game against the Iowa State Cyclone. The Cowboys are having a dream season, and this Saturday night they will try to continue with their outstanding performances that have given a special taste this season for them and for all of us.

The Cowboys have found their best moments this year thanks to the great offense, with Brandon Weeden, Joseph Randle, Jeremy Smith and Justin Blackmon, between these three guys, the Oklahoma State offense holds the second spot nationwide on scored points per game. Weeden has a great arm and he has proven that with 3635 passing yards with 31 touchdowns this year, most of them delivered to Blackmon, who has 1142 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, but like if that wasn´t enough, their ground game is nothing but ferocious, with Randle and Joseph breaking everything they have in front of them, running for 1508 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns combined (Randle has 21 touchdowns).

The Cyclones are on one of their worst seasons ever, walking almost at the bottom of their Conference, and now they have to face the Cowboys at home, with a harmless offense and a defense that didn´t find their game all year long. Their rushing is not that solid, with James White rushing for 618 yards and 7 touchdowns, Darius Reynolds downfield with 529 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns are not enough for this team, with a shaky quarterback on Steele Jantz (1322 passing yards and 10 touchdowns) they seem to be doomed unless they rebuild this team from the foundations.

The Cowboys have an average of 565.3 total yards per game, most of them though the air where they are ranked as the second most productive teams overall, with 51.7 points per game (ranked 2nd overall) and 26.3 allowed. The Cyclones have averaged 392.6 total yards per game, with 24 scored points and 29.8 allowed. The line here is Oklahoma State -27 and the total is set on 67½. Avoid complications and take the Cowboys here minus the points.
