Daily Bullets (Oct. 10): We’ll Cross UCF’s Goal and Then We’ll Sing “Oklahoma State”

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

Three Thoughts

• Game preview and kick time for today’s game + predictions for how it’ll turn out (PFB) 

• Jenni Carlson says Wren Baker hasn’t been contacted by Oklahoma State (as of Thursday) – Could this Chad Weiberg noise die down? (NewsOK)

• ESPN laid out UCF’s path to an upset – and how OSU’s likely to shut that door. The Pokes are currently 10.5 point favorites.

OSU has been awesome since the Week 1 loss to Tulsa. Drew Mestemaker is on pace for another 4,000-yard passing season, and though the OSU defense is shaky against the run — which opens the door for Watson — it has been great against the pass. If the Pokes can force UCF behind schedule semi-consistently, that’s curtains for an upset bid. [ESPN]
