The Oklahoma State Cowboys come into this matchup with a 7-3 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the Baylor Bears, 42-3. QB Spencer Sanders had a big game through the air for Oklahoma State as he threw for 347 yards, 3 TDs, and 2 interceptions. WR Dylan Stoner was the top target for Sanders and the Cowboys as he hauled in 8 catches for 247 yards and 3 TDs.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys were very good on the defensive side of the ball against the Baylor Bears as they held them to 3 points and a total of 156 yards of offense. LB Malcolm Rodriguez led the way for the Oklahoma State defense with 8 tackles and 1 TFL. The Cowboys were able to get into the Baylor backfield a handful of times as DB Kolby Harvell-Peel had 2 TFLs and 1 sack while DE Brock Martin also pitched in 2 TFLs and 1 sack.

The Miami Hurricanes come into this matchup with an 8-2 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent home game against the North Carolina Tar Heels, 62-26. QB D’Eriq King had a solid game through the air for Miami as he connected on 18 of his 30 pass attempts for 239 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 interception. TE Brevin Jordan was the top target for King and the Hurricanes as he hauled in 6 catches for 140 yards and a TD.

Safety Bubba Bolden led the way for the Miami defense with 13 tackles. The Hurricanes were able to get into the Miami backfield a handful of times as DE Jaelan Phillips had 1.5 TFLs while DL Jonathan Ford and DL Nesta Jade Silvera both had a TFL.

These two teams trended in opposite directions at the end of the season as Miami was blown out by 36 points at home while Oklahoma State won by 39, but the Hurricanes are still a very good team who is explosive on offense. The Hurricanes will have the best QB in this game with D’Eriq King as the Houston transfer has thrown 22 TDs to 5 interceptions while also adding another 500+ rushing yards, and he has shown the ability to make plays against some very good defenses (Clemson, North Carolina, Pittsburgh). The Oklahoma State Cowboys have dealt with a ton of injury issues this season, especially at RB, but the biggest mismatch in this game will be QB Spencer Sanders and the Miami secondary as Sanders has thrown 10 TDs to 8 interceptions. Final Score Prediction, Miami Hurricanes win and cover ATS 38-35.
