Oklahoma State went to Kansas State hoping to make a statement.

The Cowboys did.

Unfortunately, the statement is that they aren’t very good.

Now 0-2 in Big 12 play, the Cowboys are looking for answers every which way. Offense. Defense. Special teams. Coaching. Playing. All of it is not where it needs to be.

Where does OSU need to start if it wants to fix its problems?

Tulsa World columnist Berry Tramel and I discuss that and much more on The Jenni Carlson Show.

Oklahoma went on the road to play against arguably the toughest home-field advantage in the SEC, started a true freshman quarterback making his first start, played without its top FIVE wide receivers, trailed by two scores deep into the fourth quarter and get this — the Sooners won the game.

How do you explain it?

Tulsa World columnist Berry Tramel says it has to be Sooner Magic.

I tend to believe having a quarterback who didn’t give the ball to the other team might be more the answer for what we saw at Auburn.

But we’ll discuss all that and more as the Sooners head into their first bye week, now on The Jenni Carlson Show.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, Cowboy fans: Oklahoma State heads into its game against Kansas State with lots of questions.

That was the storyline a season ago when the Wildcats came to town and the Cowboys had a 2-2 record. This season, OSU heads to Manhattan after a head-scratching performance against Utah.

What’s with the offense?

What about Alan Bowman?

And why the heck can’t Ollie Gordon get going?

You’ve got questions.

Tulsa World columnist Berry Tramel and I will attempt to answer them on The Jenni Carlson Show.
