OSU Cowboys face Arizona in first Big 12 road test

Cowboys Football Prepares for First Big 12 Road Challenge

The Oklahoma State Cowboys head west this weekend to face the Arizona Wildcats in what will be their first Big 12 road test of the season. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, and fans will be watching closely to see how the team adjusts after a rocky start.

New Coaching Staff Brings Change

The Cowboys sit at 1–3 going into the game. This will mark the first game under interim defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, who took over after Todd Grantham was dismissed last week. At the same time, interim head coach Doug Meacham continues to adjust in his new leadership role.

Pressure on the Defense

OSU’s defense struggled early in the season, giving up big plays in key matchups. Bowen, who previously coached in the Big 12 with Kansas, brings experience and a new approach. “We have to simplify, execute, and put our players in position to succeed,” Bowen said earlier this week during practice.

Looking Ahead

The Cowboys face a tough schedule in the coming weeks, and Saturday’s performance could set the tone for the remainder of the season. Fans are eager to see if the new staff can steady the program and get it back on track.
