Oklahoma State's defensive fatigue a factor for Bedlam

Baylor is notorious for playing an up-tempo style of football, and their gameplan is generally not a secret. Regardless, Oklahoma State defenders were gassed by the end of their game against the Bears, and Shock Linwood and company piled up obscene amounts of yardage against the Cowboy front seven.

Oklahoma is on the docket this Saturday, and with Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon, they have a strong running game, too. Can Oklahoma State stay fresh in an effort to stop them?

“Vincent came up to me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, I've never felt this tired, ever,' ” Ogbah said. “I just tell him, ‘You're doing a good job. Keep on fighting, you're almost there. We need you right now. You can't be going all soft on me right now.'

“I tell him, ‘We still have a lot to accomplish.' ”

Though the College Football Playoff is looking doubtful, the Cowboys would get into an outstanding bowl game if they knock off their in-state rivals.
