Jan. 30—The Oklahoma State University Athletic Department and the Big 12 Conference jointly announced Tuesday the football schedule for the 2024 season.
The Cowboys will face three new conference members, hosting Utah and Arizona State and traveling to Colorado.
Coach Mike Gundy’s 20th season will open with four home games in the first six weeks. Only two home games are scheduled after Oct. 5.
Aug. 31 vs South Dakota State: The Cowboys open next season at home against the two-time defending FCS national champion. OSU will be the first Power Four team the Jackrabbits will have played since a 7-3 loss at Iowa in the 2022 opener that was their last loss.
SDSU will be looking to extend its winning streak to 30 games and second-year coach Jimmy Rogers’ unblemished record.
Sept. 7 vs Arkansas: Arkansas has won four games or fewer five times in the past seven years.
Coach Sam Pittman hired former disgraced coach Bobby Petrino as the offensive coordinator. Petrino called plays for Texas A&M last season but wasn’t retained with the new staff under Mike Elko.
Former Boise State quarterback Taylen Green is the presumed starter for the Razorbacks after incumbent KJ Jefferson transferred to UCF. Green threw for 1,752 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2023.
Sept. 14 at Tulsa: The Turnpike Classic is back for its 76th installment after a two-year hiatus. The 2024 game will mark the first of eight straight seasons that the two teams are scheduled to face off.
Oklahoma State has a 43-27-5 advantage in the series. The Cowboys are in search of their 10th consecutive win over Tulsa.
Sept. 21 vs Utah: Big 12 play opens with the first meeting between Oklahoma State and Utah since the Cowboys’ AFCA national championship season in 1945. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham will be joining Gundy as a 20th-year coach.
The Utes hope to rebound…
