Oklahoma State football opens season against Tulsa after previous loss

Oklahoma State travels to face Tulsa at H.A. Chapman Stadium this Saturday in a 2:45 p.m. season opener. The Cowboys enter the game with a new head coach, Eric Morris, and a roster containing 91 newcomers following a 19-12 loss to the Golden Hurricane last year. That previous defeat snapped a 10-game winning streak in the rivalry and precipitated the firing of former coach Mike Gundy. Tulsa coach Tre Lamb previously stated his team would defeat Oklahoma State again, a comment that defensive end Jaleel Johnson confirmed resonated with the Cowboys players. With a matchup against No. 2 Oregon scheduled for next week, Oklahoma State aims to establish momentum in this initial contest. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
