The Cincinnati Bearcats travel to Stillwater, Oklahoma, to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys, where the Bearcats open as a 21.5-point favorite, their biggest spread in a Big 12 game since joining the conference.

The last time the Bearcats and Cowboys played one another, it was a blowout, with defensive linemen Dontay Corleone still remembering that loss. "That 45-13 loss still hurts. We need to have a shutout, or a statement win on Saturday."
