It’s a great opportunity for the No. 18 Cowboys (4-1, 2-0 in Big 12) to take a bold step forward against the No. 20 Cougars (5-1, 2-1), who were considered a contender to reach the Big 12 Championship game entering the season.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys ruled three players out for the game on Friday — defensive tackle Landon Dean, safety Mose Phillips III and wide receiver Dayvon Standard. Phillips impacts the starting lineup and Cowboys fans should expect to see Evan Jackson at boundary safety on Saturday.
OSU had no other players listed on Friday’s report so it’s likely the rest of the travel roster will be available. The final player report is available 90 minutes before game time.
For Houston the most notable player to watch is cornerback Jalen Mayo, who was listed as questionable. If he’s unable to play that would impact a starting secondary that has five interceptions but has given up chunks of yardage in the passing game.
