Oklahoma State Cowboys 2009 College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds: Head Football Coach Mike Gundy will have this offense moving and what makes them different than some other teams in the Big 12 is the fact that they can pass and run. That versatility puts a ton of pressure on the opposing defenses. However, OSU does not have as much talent on the defensive side of the ball as teams like Texas and Oklahoma and that will once again have the Cowboys on the outside looking in at a Big 12 title. Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have the Oklahoma State Cowboys 40-1 odds to win the BSC 2010 National Championship.
Eight starters return on offense and that should make this one of the most dangerous and dynamic offenses in the nation. Quarterback Zac Robinson proved to be a dangerous player with his arm and his legs and he will have plenty of help in both categories. Even without Pettigrew, the Cowboys have a ton of receiving threats. Most notable is Dez Bryant who caught 87 passes for 1,480 yards and 19 touchdowns a year ago. On the ground the dynamic duo of Kendall Hunter and Keith Toston accounted for 2,241 yards and 27 touchdowns. Oklahoma State Cowboys college football odds are a conservative pick to go OVER 9 wins at Sportsbook.com!
The defense failed to get pressure on the opposing quarterback and in a league like the Big 12 where there are so many pass happy offenses, which spells trouble. Starting defensive ends Derek Burton and Ugo Chinasa are back, but those two combined for a mere 2.5 sacks on the season. Corner Perrish Cox is the only returning player in the secondary with any major starting experience. And while it is never a good time to bring in a new secondary, it is even worse right now in the Big 12 South when every team wants to throw. Sportsbook.com’s college football predictions have Oklahoma State Cowboys at +700 to win the Big 12 conference.
The Cowboys return two of the Big 12’s most dangerous return men in Cox and Bryant, who had two return touchdowns apiece last season. Junior placekicker Dan Bailey was 15-of-17 inside of 50 yards and perfect on extra points a year ago.
