Final Predictions: Oklahoma State-Kansas State

Oklahoma State-Kansas State games in Stillwater usually get pretty weird, and I expect this year’s version to be no different.

Player of the game: James Washington

Bold prediction: Rudolph throws 40 passes

Final score: Oklahoma State 33 | Kansas State 21

OSU Yards Per carry: 2.9

Rushing leader for OSU: Carson

With their RBs banged up, OSU has to let Rudolph find his bevy of wide receivers, right? Right?! I hope this is the case and I hope to satiate their immense craving for conservative play, they dink and dunk with No. 2 just to prove that playing that style can work the rest of the year.

Score early, stay consistent on offense and let your defense prove why it is one of the three best in the Big 12.

OSU should not lose this game.

Player of the game: Kevin Peterson

Bold prediction:  Mason Rudolph drops 4 touchdowns and passes for 350

Final score: Oklahoma State 42 | Kansas State 38

OSU Yards Per carry: 4.5

Rushing leader for OSU: Jeff Carr

Oklahoma State must establish a run game, but I don’t think they are capable of doing that without throwing downfield. My only concern is the matchup with the OSU offensive line and a stout defensive line for the Wildcats. Can they protect Rudolph long enough to stay comfortable in the pocket and make plays downfield?
