Oklahoma State vs. UT Martin Game Thread, Live Updates and Discussion
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State will be looking for its first win since September 14, 2024, when the Pokes beat Tulsa 45-10 in Tulsa, as they face the Tennessee Martin Skyhawks.
It’s certainly unfamiliar territory for Mike Gundy and Co. as the Cowboys have had winning seasons since 2006. Gundy has an entirely new coaching staff and 60-plus new players, and he’ll be playing quarterbacks who haven’t attempted a pass in college.
The Cowboys are coming off a 3-9 record, while the Skyhawks were 9-5 last year. Can the Cowboys have a bounce back year? That journey begins tonight at 6:30 CT, with the game being streamed on ESPN+.
