Oklahoma State Hopes For Less Exciting Victory

Going into Saturday's action, the Oklahoma State Cowboys have a 2-0 record. They beat reigning FCS champions South Dakota State in Week 1 before surviving a two-overtime thriller against Arkansas in their last outing. Here, the Cowboys will look for a third straight win, though they hope that it isn't as dramatic as their last victory over the Razorbacks.

So far this year, the offense for Oklahoma State has been phenomenal, averaging 41.5 points per game for the season. That is an impressive number, with running back Ollie Gordon leading the charge for the Cowboys with four rushing touchdowns in two games. In this Oklahoma State vs Tulsa matchup, look for Gordon to be heavily involved early on and for the Cowboys to continue to put up big numbers on the offensive side of the ball.

Tulsa Searching For Upset, First FBS Win

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have split their first two games of the 2024 college football season. They won their season opener against FCS Northwestern State before dropping their Week 2 matchup on the road against Arkansas State. Here, Tulsa will look to spring an upset on an Oklahoma State team that is ranked 13th in the country going into the game, though accomplishing that will certainly not be easy.

Tulsa is allowing 28 points per game so far this season, allowing exactly that amount in each of their first two games of the season. But when you consider that those games were against Northwestern State and Arkansas State, you remember that things could be much worse for them on defense this week if Tulsa doesn't play one of their best defensive games in recent program history on Saturday.

Oklahoma State vs Tulsa Best Bet

In our opinion, Oklahoma State should be able to win this game against Tulsa without too much trouble. But instead of laying a huge number with the Cowboys, we will play the over in this matchup instead. Tulsa's only path to keeping this game close is to put points on the board, while the offense of Oklahoma State has looked phenomenal through two weeks. Look for both teams to do their part to help this one get over the total.
