Eric Morris is already learning how Oklahoma State responds to adversity. After a loss to Tulsa and season-ending injury to captain Jacob Sexton, Morris said some players “have their feelings hurt,” while others have shown the “dog and fight” he wants from his Cowboys.

Oklahoma State also lost to Tulsa last season and fired coach Mike Gundy four days later in the middle of his 21st season in Stillwater.

The Cowboys are dealing with a major injury and questions after a difficult loss to Tulsa, but an immediate test against Oregon gives Eric Morris’ team little time to look back.

This is the second year in a row that Tulsa has taken down OSU.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys were outclassed by the Tulsa Golden Hurricane for a 24-10 loss in the 2026 college football season opener on Saturday.

The No. 2 Oregon Ducks have opened as a 22.5-point favorite for Saturday’s 9 a.m. game at Oklahoma State, according to DraftKings.com. The spread might seem modest, considering the Ducks defeated the Cowboys 69-3 last season at Autzen Stadium on Sept.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are going to have to turn to at least two players to replace the left tackle after his injury.
