Critical for the Cowboys

Oklahoma State leads Texas by a touchdown.

And the Cowboys are in critical condition.

The Longhorns have scored on their last two possessions, and with the ball and five minutes remaining in the first half, they had a chance to tie the score heading to the locker room.

The Cowboys needed a stop.

And they just got one.

But now, they need to go score. Having only a touchdown lead against Texas isn’t enough. With four minutes until halftime, OSU has plenty of time to get into the end zone. Having a two-touchdown lead will be a huge psychological boost in a series that has been  earmarked by big second-half comebacks by Texas.

In the past four games in the series, Texas has outscored OSU 137-7 in the second half.

The Cowboys need to build a double-digit cushion stat.
