UT Martin Skyhawks @ Oklahoma State Cowboys Preview

The Oklahoma State Cowboys kick off their 2025 season at home against the UT Martin Skyhawks, looking to put a turbulent 2024 campaign behind them. The Cowboys will lean heavily on star running back Ollie Gordon II, the reigning Doak Walker winner, who had another strong season in 2024. His ability to break long runs will be crucial, though defenses are expected to stack the box against him. On the defensive side, Kendal Daniels is set to anchor the secondary, and the front seven will need to quickly find consistency with returning experience and some younger talent. This game against an FCS opponent is widely considered a highly winnable game for Oklahoma State, serving as an opportunity to start the season on a strong note and build momentum for a deeper Big 12 field.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Historically, Oklahoma State has been dominant against FCS opponents under head coach Mike Gundy, holding a perfect 17-0 record in such matchups. This game against UT Martin, an FCS program, aligns with that trend, suggesting a significant advantage for the Cowboys.

Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys -22.5

Given Oklahoma State's historical dominance against FCS teams under Mike Gundy, the Cowboys are expected to win this game comfortably. While the moneyline at -2500 offers little value for a straight bet, the spread of -22.5 presents a more actionable opportunity. The Cowboys are favored to win by a significant margin, with some projections even suggesting they could cover a larger spread. With Ollie Gordon II leading the offense and a defense looking to establish itself early in the season, Oklahoma State should be able to control the game and secure a decisive victory against the Skyhawks.
