OSU vs. Houston: Cowboys Seek First Big 12 Win

Cowboys look to reset at Boone Pickens

The 1–4 Cowboys return home seeking a spark. OSU hosts Houston on Saturday at 11 a.m. The game airs on TNT. The staff wants a fast start and cleaner execution. Third-down conversions must improve. Turnovers must drop.

Coaching changes and game plan

It is Doug Meacham’s second game as interim head coach. He leans on a balanced approach. Expect quick throws, tempo shifts, and more motion. The defense transitions under interim DC Clint Bowen. He pushes pursuit angles and better tackling. Communication remains a priority.

Matchups that matter

Houston brings speed at receiver. OSU corners must win leverage and finish plays. The Cowboys need run efficiency on early downs. That sets up manageable third downs. Special teams can flip momentum. Hidden yards often decide close games.

Tickets, parking, and stadium notes

Arrive early to ease parking around Boone Pickens Stadium. Review clear-bag rules. Load tickets in your wallet app before you reach the gate. Expect warm temps for midday kickoff. Hydrate and dress in light layers.
