Tony’s Take: Predicting the final score of Oklahoma State at Colorado

What’s your final score prediction?

Entering the final week of the college football regular season, the Colorado Buffaloes are tied for first place in the Big 12 standings with three other teams: BYU, Arizona State and Iowa State. CU will be the only one of those four to play on Friday, so it can send a message to everyone by beating the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Oklahoma State limps into Friday’s matchup at 3-8 (0-8 Big 12) with a new face leading its offense. Freshman quarterback Maealiuaki Smith is expected to start his second career game after relieving the injured Garret Rangel and the ineffective Alan Bowman. Last week, Smith carved up a weak Texas Tech defense, but he’ll now face a more talented CU defense, which is looking to rebound from an uncharacteristic performance at Kansas.

The Cowboys’ biggest struggles come on the defensive side of the ball. That unit began the year with two preseason All-Big 12 linebackers in Collin Oliver and Nick Martin, but injuries have kept both sidelined since September. Oklahoma State’s defense allows an average of 34.1 points per game, the second-highest mark in the Big 12.

I expect CU to bounce back from its Week 13 loss to the Jayhawks and handle the Cowboys at Folsom Field (10 a.m. MT on ABC).

Final score prediction: Colorado 42, Oklahoma State 24

Oklahoma State commit Alexander McPherson picks up Colorado offer

Colorado is going after a three-star Oklahoma State commit

Class of 2025 defensive lineman Alexander McPherson took to social media on Thursday afternoon to announce an offer from the Colorado Buffaloes.

McPherson is a 6-foot-5, 250-pound three-star prospect (per 247Sports) who committed to the Oklahoma State Cowboys in June.

After spending his first two prep seasons at Martin County High School in Florida, McPherson transferred to Sunshine State powerhouse IMG Academy before his junior year. According to MaxPreps, the senior owns 28 total tackles, nine TFLs, seven sacks and two forced fumbles in six games played this season.

McPherson closed his sophomore season at Martin County with 53 total tackles, 11 TFLs and seven sacks.

The 247Sports composite ranks McPherson as the No. 120 DL in his class and the No. 148 prospect from Florida. His other Power Four offers include Indiana, Michigan State and Pitt.

With the early signing period just over one month away, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders holds 10 class of 2025 commits, including fellow three-star DL Christian Hudson.

On Wednesday, the Sooners made the top four for Rivals four-star prospect Darius Afalava. Today, one the top prospect in the state of Oklahoma, [autotag]C.J. Nickson[/autotag], narrowed his priority programs to two schools.

It’s a Sooner State recruiting battle for Nickson, who named Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as his top two schools, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Out of Weatherford, Okla., Nickson is a consensus four-star prospect. He’s considered the No. 74 player in the nation, No. 9 edge rusher, and the No. 1 player in the state of Oklahoma per 247Sports. The On3 Industry Ranking has him as the No. 5 athlete.

Looking back at Colorado’s history against Oklahoma State

Colorado will battle Oklahoma State this fall for the first time since the 2016 Alamo Bowl

Colorado football will soon have an opportunity to get some revenge against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who soured “The Rise” by beating the Buffs in the 2016 Alamo Bowl.

The Buffaloes mostly held their own against the Cowboys dating back to their first meeting in 1920, compiling an all-time record of 26-19-1. This included an impressive eight-game winning streak during the golden period of Buffs football from 1989 to 1996.

Colorado was coming off 10 straight losing seasons when everything finally came together in 2016. The Buffaloes ran through their schedule, posting a 10-2 regular season record and a Pac-12 South title. They couldn’t overcome the Washington Huskies in the Pac-12 Championship Game, but the Cowboys awaited in San Antonio.

Colorado never gained a foothold in the game, with the Cowboys taking a 17-0 halftime lead en route to a 38-8 final. CU has only made a bowl game once since 2016, but 2024 represents a great opportunity for the Buffs to end that streak and gain some revenge against OK State now that the two teams are back in the Big 12 together. Colorado will host the Cowboys at Folsom Field on Nov. 29 in the regular season finale.

Writer names the most difficult game on Colorado’s 2024 schedule

Who is the most challenging opponent on Colorado’s schedule?

Heading into their welcome-back season in the Big 12 Conference, the Colorado Buffaloes are staring at another grueling schedule. Head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffs have a challenging opener against Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse North Dakota State, two nonconference road games against rival opponents and a brutal month of November.

On Monday, Ralphie Report writer Rylan Scholes took a crack at ranking the most difficult games on CU’s upcoming schedule. Just ahead of Utah at No. 2, Scholes tabbed the Oklahoma State Cowboys as the Buffs’ toughest regular season opponent. Oklahoma State, which went 10-4 last season with a loss in the Big 12 championship game, comes to Folsom Field on Nov. 29.

Here’s some of what Scholes wrote on Colorado’s regular season finale against longtime head coach Mike Gundy’s Cowboys:

Fresh off an appearance in the Big XII championship game, the Cowboys are trying to establish themselves as the conference’s top dog. They returned ten starters on both offense and defense, making them the most experienced team in the Big XII. The Pokes are gearing up for one of their most important seasons in program history, but they’ll have to go through Boulder.

Sooner Nation, social media reacts to Big 12 championship game

Sooner Nation and social media reacts to the Texas Longhorns win over Oklahoma State in the Big 12 championship game.

The Big 12 championship didn’t provide the theatrics we saw on Friday night in the Pac-12 title game. The Texas Longhorns dominated the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 49-21, to win their fourth Big 12 title.

Quinn Ewers was the player of the game, winning the inaugural Big 12 MVP title belt co-created with the WWE. Ewers threw for 452 yards and four touchdowns, and the Longhorns defense held Ollie Gordon to 34 yards rushing.

This game had some big plays and controversial officiating decisions. Both have been prevalent in the Big 12 this year.

At the end, Horns fans serenaded Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark with boos and chants of “S-E-C” as he presented the Big 12 title to Steve Sarkisian.

It was Texas’ fourth Big 12 championship, 10 behind the Oklahoma Sooners as the Red River Rivals head to the SEC in 2024.

Though Oklahoma wasn’t playing in the game, it generated significant interest in Sooner Nation watching their two biggest rivals go toe-to-toe.

Here’s how social media reacted to the game.
