Oklahoma State Opens Eric Morris Era With Road Game at Tulsa

The game will give an early market read on whether a transfer-fueled offense can quickly reverse a 1-11 downturn.

Overview

  • Oklahoma State begins the Morris era Saturday with a 2:45 p.m. CT kickoff at H.A. Chapman Stadium that airs on ESPNU and streams on ESPN+.
  • Coach Eric Morris brought a group of starters from North Texas, including quarterback Drew Mestemaker, to lead a faster, higher-scoring offense.
  • Tulsa defeated Oklahoma State in 2025 in the game that preceded Mike Gundy's firing, making this opener a clear measuring point for the program's reset.
  • BetMGM odds released on game day heavily favored Oklahoma State with a projected score of about 49-20, a moneyline near -550 and a spread around -13.5.
  • A strong showing would boost recruiting and public expectations ahead of a key home date next week while a weak offensive debut would raise questions about how fast the rebuild can progress.
