Alan Bowman QB vs. Kirk Francis QB
Alan Bowman, the Oklahoma State quarterback, has contributed greatly to their good start so far in the season. He has so far completed 51 passes of the 81 attempted with a total yard of 571 and a percentage of 63 in completion. What even makes him even more deadly is his ability to push the ball downfield, as portrayed by a 63-yard completion for the longest pass in addition to his steady rating of 131.9. Now, his problem will be accuracy while being sacked, looking at his 3:1 ratio of touchdowns to interceptions.
Kirk Francis of Tulsa has also had tremendous statistics in his early season performance with 39 completions on 58 attempts and 498 passing yards. He equally competes favorably with a game completion rate minimum of 67.2 % and 8.6 yards per pass, showing efficiency and depth in gameplay. Francis is great at his 164.4 passer rating and 5 touchdown passes thrown.
Cowboys’ Ground and Air Attack
Oklahoma State’s offensive strategy leans heavily on the dual threat of their quarterback and running back, Ollie Gordon II, who has pushed forward with 175 rushing yards on 45 attempts and scored 4 touchdowns. The synergy between Bowman and his wide receiver, Rashod Owens, who has snagged 8 receptions for 145 yards, underscores a dynamic passing game that can stretch the defense vertically.
Golden Hurricane’s Offensive Strategy
Conversely, Tulsa’s offense, while not as explosive, is markedly efficient. Lloyd Avant, although not scoring, has accumulated 125 rushing yards at an impressive average of 5 yards per carry. Wide receiver Kamdyn Benjamin has proven to be a critical asset with 196 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, highlighting the potential for big plays against Oklahoma State’s defense.
