The 10 Best Stats from the Oklahoma State-West Virginia Game

Here’s a look at some of the stats that stood out to me on Saturday after Oklahoma State beat West Virginia 33-26 in overtime to move to 6-0.

West Virginia had 19 drives

And scored 24 offensive points. That is … insane. Nineteen drives?! An average number is 12-14. Nineteen is “get Darrion Daniels some O2 and check on his life insurance policy” territory.

West Virginia ran 98 plays

Thankfully, OSU gets a bye next week. Here are the five games with the most plays run against OSU in the Gundy era:

1. OU — 107 (2010)
2. Texas A&M — 106 (2010)
3. Baylor — 105 (2011)
4. OU — 103 (2012)
5. Iowa State — 101 (2011)
6. West Virginia — 98 (2015)

West Virginia is 0-for-night

This is definitely a stat.

Wow, how about this stat…

West Virginia has not won a conference night game in Morgantown since joining the Big 12.

10 straight bowls

I jokingly tweeted that we’re bowl eligible on Saturday night, but really, 10 straight bowl games is no joke. Only 12 teams are currently ahead of that number.

First time in Morgantown

That’s OSU’s first-ever win in Morgantown.

1928: 32-6 (L)
2013: 30-21 (L)
2015: 33-26 (W)

Those run numbers

????

Texas: 2.2
Kansas State: 1.8
West Virginia: 3.5

Yurcich’s win percentage

Mike Yurcich as OC: 23-9
Todd Monken as OC: 20-6

Just throwing that out there.

12 receivers

I don’t think there’s a record kept for such thing, but I’m always intrigued when more than 10 players catch a pass. On Saturday, 12 Pokes caught balls from Rudolph and J.W. — 10 of them had two or one catches.

14 turnovers

Oklahoma State created 14 turnovers in 2014 (13 games). Oklahoma State has created 14 turnovers in 2015 (six games). Oklahoma State recovered three fumbles on Saturday night. It recovered two fumbles all of last season.

6-0

Six Oklahoma State teams have started 6-0 ever.

1945: went undefeated
1997: went 8-4
2008: went 9-4
2010: went 11-2
2011: went 12-1
