Overview

  • Oklahoma State will turn to third-year freshman Zane Flores at quarterback after starter Hauss Hejny underwent surgery for a broken left foot and was ruled out for the foreseeable future.
  • Flores relieved Hejny in the opener and went 13-of-20 for 136 yards in his college debut against UT Martin.
  • Oregon is coming off a 59-13 win over Montana State in which Dante Moore completed 18 of 23 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns, yet Lanning cautioned that OSU regularly takes deep shots that will stress the Ducks’ secondary.
  • Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said center Kasen Carpenter and defensive end DeSean Brown are likely unavailable after injuries sustained in Week 1.
  • Linebacker Wendell Gregory was charged in a retail theft case in Stillwater and, after being released on bail, is currently expected to play against Oregon.
