In the Rankings
The Cowboys are ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press Poll and are No. 19 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. OSU has been ranked in the top 25 of at least one of those polls since week 10 of the 2016 season. Boise State is No. 17 according to both the A.P. and the coaches. The Broncos are the first non-conference opponent to come into Boone Pickens Stadium carrying a national ranking since No. 13 Georgia visited Stillwater in 2009. OSU has reached the top 15 of the A.P. poll at some point in nine of the past 10 seasons and the top 10 of the A.P. poll in eight of the past 10 seasons. The Cowboys are also one of only five teams to be ranked in every set of College Football Playoff rankings since the beginning of 2015, joining Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
The Series
Saturday's game will mark the first time Oklahoma State and Boise State have met on the football field. OSU holds a 13-5-1 record against teams who are part of the current Mountain West conference, with the last meeting marked as a 48-24 win over Wyoming in Stillwater in 2003. Boise State holds a 2-1 record vs. members of the Big 12, losing to Baylor, 31-12, in the last game in 2016. The game also marks the first time in Mike Gundy's career he has faced a Mountain West team, while Boise State coach Bryan Harsin's only career head coaching matchup against a Big 12 opponent was the 2016 game against Baylor.
Oklahoma State From a Distance
Oklahoma State is 2-0 after winning its first two games by a combined score of 113-30. Senior quarterback Taylor Cornelius has succeeded in his first two starts, setting a new OSU record for most passing yards in a quarterback's first two career starts with 728. Doak Walker Award candidate Justice Hill leads the Big 12 with three rushing touchdowns and averages 8.1 yards per carry this season. Receivers Tylan Wallace and Tyron Johnson earned the most talk after last week's game as they each recorded career highs with more than 130 receiving yards. The Cowboy defense has also been impressive under new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, as it has totaled 18 three-and-outs through the first two games of the season. The Cowboys rank No. 1 nationally in total offense 674.5 yards per game and No. 9 in total defense at 237.0.
Big Screen TV
The 2018 season marks the debut of Boone Pickens Stadium's new Daktronics video board, which measures 110 feet wide by 56 feet tall and is suspended on the side of Gallagher-Iba Arena in the stadium's east end zone. The board is the eighth-largest at a college football-only stadium and can show better than 1080HD resolution. The board's brightness registers at 11,000 nits while most similar boards measure at 7,000 nits. The amplified brightness is to account for the fact that OSU's board faces west, and the brightness can be adjusted manually depending on the position of the sun. It was made possible through a gift from Gary and Claudia Humphreys.
