Oklahoma State University Athletics
Football Game Set for ABC Television
April 07, 2003 | Cowboy Football
Opening with Kansas on September 5 will enable OSU to move its game with Southwestern Louisiana to November 14 in Stillwater. The OSU-USL game was originally scheduled for September 26.
OSU will now be open on September 26, prior to its October 3 game against Nebraska in Kansas City.
The scheduling moves are beneficial to the Cowboys in a number of ways.
Opening on September 5 instead of September 12 will give OSU a lengthier period of two-a-day workouts. The opener at KU will give the Cowboys national television exposure for the third straight game and give the Pokes a needed open date in late September.
OSU's final game of the 1997 regular season at Baylor was an ABC game and the Alamo Bowl game against Purdue was on ESPN.
OSU's revised 1998 football schedule is below.
