STILLWATER – Oklahoma State heads east for the Gateway First Bank Turnpike Classis this weekend, facing Tulsa on Saturday, September 5, at 2:45 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
OSU and Tulsa have a series that includes 78 matchups and dates to 1914. The only school that OSU has faced more often is Oklahoma. OSU leads the all-time series, 45-28-5, with Tulsa holding a 21-17-2 advantage in games played in Tulsa. The Cowboys have won 10 of the past 11 meetings, including a 45-10 win in 2024 in the Cowboys' last trip to Tulsa. OSU has won four straight games at Tulsa, including matchups in 2000, 2011, 2019 and 2024.
A win Saturday would extend OSU's longest winning streak at Tulsa in series history to five games.
OSU coach Eric Morris holds a 2-0 career record against the Golden Hurricane, defeating TU in 2023 and 2024 while coaching for North Texas. Tulsa coach Tre Lamb is 1-0 against OSU as a head coach.
The schools are in the midst of an eight-year scheduling agreement that began in 2024. The two teams, separated by just 72 miles, meet annually from 2024 until 2031, with Tulsa hosting at H.A. Chapman Stadium in even years and OSU hosting in Boone Pickens Stadium in odd years.
