Inside The Numbers - OSU vs. Kansas
October 10, 2014 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Oklahoma State plays its first true road game of 2014 when it battles Kansas in Memorial Stadium Saturday at 3 p.m. CT. Some notes and streaks, plus a head-to-head comparison of the two teams:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
• Mark the Cowboys' fifth straight over the Jayhawks and their 10th in the last 11 series meetings.
• Be the Cowboys' sixth straight over the Jayhawks in Lawrence. Kansas hasn't beaten OSU in Memorial Stadium since 1994.
• Mark the Cowboys' fourth straight in a Big 12 road game to match OSU's second-longest such streak since the league was formed in 1996. The longest came when OSU won eight straight Big 12 road games spanning from the 2010 season into the 2011 season. The Cowboys won four straight Big 12 road games spanning from the 2008 to the 2009 season.
• Improve the Cowboys to 3-0 in Big 12 play to mark the fourth time during the Mike Gundy era that OSU's conference record was perfect through three games. The Pokes previously accomplished that feat in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
• Improve the Cowboys to 19-7 in their last 26 road games and 16-6 in their last 22 road games against Big 12 opponents.
• Improve the Cowboys to 36-4 in their last 40 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
