STILLWATER — The 2024 college football season is here at last for the Oklahoma State football team, but the Cowboys won’t be easing into this campaign.
OSU opens with an early test facing two-time reigning FCS national champion South Dakota State at 1 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium.
While the Cowboys have a Heisman Trophy hopeful in running back Ollie Gordon II, the Jackrabbits feature the top player on the FCS level in quarterback Mark Gronowski, who won the Walter Payton Award last year.
This is the first meeting between the Cowboys and Jackrabbits.

WIN BY A HARE

GRIT & GRIND
Jackrabbits quarterback Mark Gronowski, the reigning Walter Payton Award winner, holds his own against the Cowboy defense, but the two-time reigning FCS champions can’t contain Heisman Trophy hopeful Ollie Gordon II in the best under-the-radar Week 1 game.

WABBIT SEASON
The Jackrabbits can’t keep up with Oklahoma State superstar Ollie Gordon II, who breaks the 200-yard mark in the season opener and kicks off his Heisman Trophy campaign with authority. But the SDSU offense should do enough to keep this game interesting into the fourth quarter.
