Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are meeting up for a Big 12 showdown in week five. The two teams are looking to get a leg up in conference play with a win, but only one can come out on top. Oklahoma State has finally cracked the Top 25, despite having one loss already this season -- albeit to the No. 1 team in the nation.

Let's take a look at five bold predictions that I believe will happen in this game.

Playing a somewhat poor defense like Texas Tech's will definitely help Oklahoma State get off to a solid lead. The score will be 21-0 by the middle of the second quarter when the Red Raiders finally notch their first touchdown on a pass by Davis Webb.

J.W. Walsh's foot injury might keep him out for the season especially since he got surgery on it, but Daxx Garman will ease fan's minds about the loss of their starting QB. Garman will have a solid game, leading the Cowboys to a solid offensive game behind a few touchdown passes and nearly 300 yards.

On the other side of things, Davis Webb is the Red Raiders' top dog at quarterback and one of the best young guns in all of college football. Webb will have himself a game after a slow start, passing for over 350 yards and three scores to a wealth of receivers.

Texas Tech might have a solid offense, but it won't be enough to grab a lead against the potent Cowboys offensive attack. The Red Raiders will fail to hold a lead at all in this contest and the Cowboys will head into week six with another win under their belt with little sweating involved.

Oklahoma State's Victory Will lead to No Losses Until at Least Nov. 22

Oklahoma State's win against Texas Tech will propel them to a hot streak that will last all the way until Nov. 22 when the Cowboys travel to Baylor to take on the Bears. This win will definitely get the Cowboys kickstarted into a solid win streak that will last until late November.
