Oklahoma State vs Arizona, Thursday, September 8th, Stillwater, OK @ 7:00 pm on ESPN. ESPN3 for those of you reliant on a computer.
Was wondering who you guys thought would win this game and by how much. I think this is OkSt's 3rd toughest game, OU and Texas A&M are their toughest, but I also believe OkSt is just to good for Arizona to compete much early. OkSt 52-Arizona 35.

52-35 seems pretty reasonable

Considering the dud the Pac-12 laid on opening weekend - this could get ugly early.

I haven't scouted Arizona but I'm eager to see oSu's offense face off against a decent defense. Also interested to see if oSu's defense can stop a decent offense. That seems to always be oSu's weakness - unable to stop the other guy.

Considering that not much has changed for either program since OSU's win over them in the bowl game last year, I'm going to say..Pokes, 3 TD win

This is what I'm having the hardest time on cause I haven't seen either play so I'm going off of stats which Arizona is no slouch, their just not quite as explosive it seems. Plus I've heard that Zona's best or 2nd best receiver missed practice this week so it's assumed he may miss the game which could end up being a blow for Arizona.

Arizona 31 OSU 27
Hey, it's too early in the season to try to start getting depressed about Oklahoma State, especially since Arizona isn't even ranked.

I believe at mizzou and at Texas will both be tougher games than zona at home. However these Thursday night games can get wild sometimes but I can't see OSU losing. We beat them quite easily last year in the alamo bowl and not much has changed. Zona did have to replace their entire o line I think but still have good skill players. My prediction is a cowboy win but maybe not a cover (-14.5)
I might have given both teams to much credit on scoring, but either way Oklahoma State lit into Arizona early and fast and caused a very difficult comeback for Arizona to accomplish. OkSt 37-Zona 14.

You were close but I got a 21+ win. Too bad I don't bet, lol
You woulda gotten quite a bit of money considering all the suckers who thought Arizona was gonna come into Stillwater and even compete. Lol

Tulsa looked better than 'Zona. Mike Stoops is going to go into cardiac arrest on the sideline one day. They just looked unprepared.
Arizona did look very bad and I think that is a reflection of Mike Stoops. And Tulsa did look a whole lot more impressive than Arizona, but Tulsa is also a whole lot better of a team then people are willing to admit.

Yep - can't wait for OU to tap into that California recruiting base that Arizona is picking from.
