Texas will look to right the ship after their loss to LSU when they take on Mike Gundy, freshman quarterback Spencer Sanders, and Oklahoma State at home in primetime. Given the stable of weapons the Cowboys have, this game is going to be a classic Big 12 shootout.

Here's what we can expect.

3. Chuba Hubbard Runs for 150 Yards and Two Touchdowns

Oklahoma State hasn't had a running back lead the country in rushing since the days of Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders, but Hubbard is the leading all of college football in rushing yards through three games. The Longhorns did little to stop Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the LSU game, and should struggle with Hubbard.

2. Both Sam Ehlinger and Spencer Sanders Eclipse 400 Total Yards

These two quarterbacks took diverging paths to get to where they are, as Ehlinger was a preseason Heisman favorite while Sanders had to beat out Dru Brown, but both have become stars. Both Ehlinger and Sanders can extend plays with their legs, and should be licking their chops to each face a defense that has been up and down of late.

1. Oklahoma State Beats Texas for the Second Year in a Row

The Cowboys have a distinct advantage in the backfield, and Tylan Wallace has proven to be slightly better than Collin Johnson so far this season. Both of these teams will score, so which ever defense can hold down the fort long enough is likely going to win. With a close loss here, the Longhorns, who are most certainly not "back" would drop to 2-2.
