Inside the Numbers - OSU vs. Kansas State - Oklahoma State University Athletics

STILLWATER - Oklahoma State hosts Kansas State Saturday and attempts to move to 5-0 on the year, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. on FS1. A closer look at the matchup:

An Oklahoma State Win Would...
• Improve the Cowboys to 5-0, marking the fourth time under Mike Gundy that OSU would have a perfect record after five games. The previous three occasions were in 2008, 2010 and 2011. For some perspective on that, OSU had only seven 5-0 starts in 103 seasons of football before Gundy took over in 2005.
• Be the Cowboys' seventh consecutive win, dating back to last season, marking OSU's longest win streak since the Pokes rattled off seven straight wins in 2013.
• Be the Cowboys' fifth straight over Kansas State in Stillwater. The Pokes claimed a 38-34 win in 2003, a 41-39 victory in 2007, a 52-45 triumph in 2011 and a 33-29 success in 2013.
• Be Mike Gundy's 51st win over a Big 12 opponent since taking over as Oklahoma State head coach in 2005. None of Gundy's predecessors as OSU football coach won more than 30 conference games. Among active Big 12 coaches, only Bill Snyder (109 Big 8/Big 12 wins in 23-plus seasons at Kansas State) and Bob Stoops (104 wins in 16-plus seasons at Oklahoma) have more than Gundy has amassed in 10-plus years at Oklahoma State.
• Improve the Cowboys to 42-5 in their last 47 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
