STILLWATER — After a rollercoaster ride to 3-0 for the Oklahoma State football team, Big 12 play arrives with what might turn out to be one of the most crucial games of the conference season.
Two teams with Big 12 Championship Game dreams are set to square off at 3 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium, when No. 15 OSU hosts No. 10 Utah on Fox.
