It seems odd that Oklahoma State and Arkansas, with their campuses roughly 180 miles apart, haven’t played each other since the Jimmy Carter administration. Oklahoma State will host Arkansas as the programs meet for the first time since 1980. It’ll be much more than a matchup of geographic convenience.

Turns out, it’ll be much more than a matchup of geographic convenience. Oklahoma State believes reaching the College Football Playoff is a legitimate possibility. Beating Arkansas, a member of the Southeastern Conference, could help the Cowboys reach that goal. “I’ve scanned through them over the summer, and they had four or five games last year that they could’ve won,” Gundy said. “I don’t know what their record was last year, but it looked to me they could’ve won eight games pretty easy in obviously a very difficult conference.”Arkansas counters with Ja’Quinden Jackson, a transfer from Utah who ran for 101 yards and two scores against UAPB.
“When you’re playing a team in the SEC, you’re going to play girth,” Gundy said. “You’re going to run into guys that have a lot of guys with a lot of size and are physical in the box.”Oklahoma State’s fans are loud and very close to the field, something Pittman has tried to prepare his team for.
