As we gear up for this intriguing NCAA Football matchup on September 19, 2025, between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, all eyes are on Boone Pickens Stadium where the Cowboys will host their in-state rivals. The Cowboys, coming off a solid 2024 season where they finished with a 10-4 record and a strong showing in the Big 12, are looking to build momentum early in the 2025 campaign. Led by head coach Mike Gundy, who's entering his 21st season, OSU boasts a potent offense that's been a hallmark of their program.
Key to their success is quarterback Alan Bowman, who threw for over 3,000 yards last season with a completion rate north of 60%. Paired with running back Ollie Gordon II, a Doak Walker Award contender who rushed for 1,700 yards in 2023, the Cowboys' ground game could overwhelm Tulsa's defense. Defensively, OSU has bolstered their line with transfers and returning starters like Collin Oliver, who racked up 11.5 sacks last year. This unit allowed just 28 points per game in 2024, and against a Tulsa team that struggled offensively, they should dominate the trenches.
On the other side, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are rebuilding after a disappointing 4-8 season in 2024 under head coach Kevin Wilson. Their offense showed flashes with quarterback Kirk Francis, but inconsistency plagued them, averaging only 23 points per game. Tulsa's defense was even more porous, giving up 35 points on average, which doesn't bode well against OSU's high-octane attack. While wide receiver Kamdyn Benjamin could provide some fireworks with his speed, the Hurricane lack the depth to match OSU's talent across the board.
Historically, Oklahoma State has owned this rivalry, winning the last five meetings by an average margin of 25 points. The most recent clash in 2021 saw OSU triumph 28-23, but that was closer than usual; expect a wider gap this time with the Cowboys' improvements. The odds reflect this dominance, with OSU at 1.22 as heavy favorites and Tulsa at 4.50 as underdogs. Betting on the Cowboys here is about reliability over high returns – their superior talent, home-field advantage, and defensive prowess should lead to a convincing win.
From a betting perspective, while the payout on OSU is modest (implied probability around 82%), it's a safer play for building bankroll early in the season. Tulsa would need a miracle upset, perhaps capitalizing on turnovers or special teams, but their road record (1-5 last year) suggests otherwise. Weather in Stillwater could play a factor – forecasts call for mild conditions, favoring OSU's passing game. For enthusiasts, consider prop bets on Gordon's rushing yards over 100, as Tulsa's run defense ranked near the bottom of the AAC.
In summary, this game screams Cowboys victory. Their experience, star power, and motivation to start 2025 strong make them the clear choice. Don't expect a blowout necessarily, but a 38-17 type scoreline feels right, covering the spread and rewarding patient bettors.
