Oklahoma State football: Fan turnout about the only thing that went well for OSU vs. Baylor

DEFENSIVE FRONT: C

The Cowboys were playing without James Castleman, which put them in a hole from the start. Still, Baylor had too many big plays that either went through holes up the middle or came because quarterback Nick Florence wasn't pressured. The Bears rolled up 615 yards of offense, including 319 yards rushing.

DEFENSIVE SECONDARY: C

Another unit playing shorthanded. Even though Brodrick Brown played, injury was clearly hobbling the Cowboy defensive back. Justin Gilbert, Shamiel Gary and Co. failed to pick up the slack as Baylor threw for 296 yards on 23-of-39 passing. A couple of would-be interceptions were dropped, only adding to the secondary's bad day.

ATMOSPHERE: A

Couldn't beat the weather. Even though there was a stiff wind, it's hard to argue with sunny and 73 degrees on the first day of December. And the crowd, while several thousand short of a sellout, was good and loud. All of it made for a great day of football.

BLAKE JACKSON: F

Rough day for the Cowboy receiver. He had three catches but dropped two passes, and both would've been touchdowns. The Cowboys settled for field goals on both of the drives, so the drops cost them eight points in a game they lost by seven.
