Not easy to play on Friday night even coming off a bye because it's Provo, Utah. The Cougars look like a playoff team right now. They have outscored opponents 206-98. Last season, when they were not ready for the Big 12, they took Oklahoma State to overtime. The difference this season is their defense, which loves to pressure quarterbacks and force turnovers. Oklahoma State's run defense has been thrashed lately and their offense has averaged 17.6 points per game over their last three games.
