On Saturday, several games featuring a pair of ranked teams highlight the NCAA college football schedule. One of those will feature the No. 16 Tcu Horned Frogs visiting the No. 6 Oklahoma State Cowboys. It will be a battle of Heisman Trophy contender Mason Rudolph against a tough Horned Frogs' defense. Here's the latest college football preview for TCU vs. Oklahoma State with game time, TV channel, matchup odds, and live streaming online options.
Game preview
The TCU Horned Frogs are off to a 3-0 start for their season after wins over Jackson State, Arkansas, and SMU in successive weeks. Last week saw the Horned Frogs rally from being down 16-7 in the first quarter as they had three touchdowns in the second and concluded the game with another three. Kenny Hill threw four TDs and 365 yards while Darius Anderson had 14 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
The home team Oklahoma State Cowboys are also 3-0 so far this season and it's thanks to their star quarterback Mason Rudolph. He's thrown at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in three-straight games to start the season.
Can he make it four in a row today? The team is coming off a 59-24 win over Tulsa last week where Rudolph was 20-for-24 with 303 yards and three touchdown passes. Two of those went to receiver James Washington who racked up 145 yards on his six catches. Today, Rudolph will look to guide his offense to a win over the visitors in what could be a marquee matchup early this NCAA season.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are favorites today, with 13 points in their favor on the point spread at home. On the moneyline, OK State is a large -500 favorite while the visitors are +375 underdogs. For the points total, over/under bettors will contemplate 70.5 points between these two teams for the full game.
