Oklahoma State is facing their biggest challenge of the season far when they take on the Boise State Broncos later today. The Broncos are 1-1, and their opening day loss to the University of Central Florida was a 36-31 meltdown. After taking an early 21-0 lead, Boise State just couldn’t hold on as the Knights made a late push to steal the win.

The Cowboys enter today’s game with a 2-0 record, but neither win has really been impressive. Despite being heavily favored in both of those games, Oklahoma State was able to win by just 7 and 5 points. Oklahoma State enters their matchup with Boise State as a slight underdog, but maybe that will serve as a chip on their shoulder, and they will be able to play with a little extra fire.
