Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Arkansas Razorbacks team news
Oklahoma State Cowboys team news
A lot of attention is rightfully given to Ollie Gordon, who is arguably the top running back in the country after racking up 1,614 yards and 20 touchdowns last season. However, this Cowboys offense is expected to show more versatility this year. Alan Bowman delivered a solid outing against South Dakota State, throwing for 245 yards and two touchdowns, completing 24 of his 33 attempts. He's got a deep arsenal of targets, with returning wideouts Rashod Owens and Brennan Presley, alongside De'Zhaun Stribling, who led the team in Week 1 with six catches for 83 yards.
Arkansas Razorbacks team news
Mike Gundy highlighted the run game as an area of concern following the win over South Dakota State. While Ollie Gordon managed to rack up 126 yards and three touchdowns, he was held to just 4.5 yards per carry, with the team averaging only 3.8 yards per touch.
This outcome was unexpected, especially considering that Oklahoma State boasts one of the nation’s most seasoned offensive lines. The challenge intensifies against Arkansas, whose defense features Landon Jackson, and two massive run-stoppers in Eric Gregory and Cameron Ball, both towering at over 6ft 4in and weighing at least 320 pounds.
While the matchup against UAPB must be kept in perspective, quarterback Taylen Green made a strong debut for Arkansas, throwing for 229 yards and two touchdowns while adding 88 rushing yards and two more scores. Though a repeat of their 28-0 start from Week 1 may be a stretch, putting Oklahoma State on the back foot early and reducing Gordon's effectiveness on the ground could significantly boost their upset chances.
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Arkansas Razorbacks Head-to-Head
