Oklahoma State averages 33 PPG on offense and allows 27 PPG on defense. The fact that they are ranked 25th and have 8 wins is really an achievement with that points scored/allowed ratio. This is a solid football team that has played a fairly tough schedule. They have beat Tulsa, Kansas State and Iowa State. They are a running football team that rushes for 229 YPG. They pass for another 227 yards.

Texas A&M averages 250 passing per game and 150 yards rushing. They are pretty balanced. They score 30 PPG and allow 22. They really haven’t beat a good team this year.

Conclusion

The Texas Bowl is played in Houston, which is more like a home game for the Aggies. And they will definitely be looking to make a statement here. They had one of the toughest schedules in the nation and for their troubles got five losses out of it.

But I tell ya, I think the advantage is Oklahoma State getting points here. I think that the 25th ranked Cowboys getting a TD in this game is a gift and I am taking the Cowboys myself.
