10. Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Location: Boone Pickens Stadium, Stillwater, OK

Date: Sep. 2

Tulsa 2016 Record: 10-3 (6-2 AAC)

All-Time Record vs. Tulsa: 40-28-5

Tulsa and OK State will resume their in-state rivalry again in 2017. It will be the first time since 2011 that the two schools have met. The last meeting resulted in a 59-33 win for the Cowboys.

This will be no easy game for the Pokes. The Golden Hurricane is coming off a huge win in the Miami Beach Bowl against the Central Michigan Chippewas by the score of 55-10. It goes without saying how the CMU game panned out for the Pokes in 2016.

Some good news for OK State comes with the expected departure of Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans and Keevan Lucas. Both Evans and Lucas helped lead the Tulsa offense to an impressive average of 42.5 points per game.

The only home out-of-conference game OK State has on the schedule is this game. Head coach Mike Gundy will hope to get a fast start to the season against Tulsa.
