The Oklahoma State Cowboys head out on the road for the first time this year against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oklahoma State hits the road for the first time in 2011 after picking up decisive home wins over Louisiana-Lafayette and Arizona.\u00a0 The Cowboys have out-gained their first two opponents by a staggering 501 yards.\u00a0 It could increase that figure due to piling up 722 yards and 65 points in last year\u2019s meeting with Tulsa.\u00a0 Quarterback Brandon Weeden threw for 409 yards and six touchdowns, as the team scored on its first 10 possessions.\u00a0 His main target was wide receiver Justin Blackmon, who caught six passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns.\u00a0 Oklahoma State is 6-0 ATS as a road favorite the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys have enjoyed life on the road of late, posting an 11-3 record since the beginning of the 2008 season.\u00a0 Oklahoma State is looking to start 3-0 for the 20th time in school history and is 24-6 in non-conference games under current head coach Mike Gundy.\u00a0 Offensively, the numbers are staggering, as the team has scored in every quarter.\u00a0 It has also led to the squad outscoring opponents by a 55-10 margin in the first half.\u00a0 The program is enjoying incredible success, posting 31 wins over the last three seasons, which is the most of any three-year period in school history.<\/p>\n

Tulsa returns home after playing on the road in consecutive weeks in a loss at No. 1 Oklahoma before picking up a 31-3 win over Tulane.\u00a0 The Golden Hurricane will be meeting the Cowboys for the 71st time, trailing in the series by a 38-27-5 margin.\u00a0 Tulsa has dropped the last four meetings, including a 65-28 loss last year.\u00a0 It\u2019s not out of the realm of possibility that an upset could occur, as the team is 5-0 in its last five home openers and is 58-23 overall in the situation inside H.A. Chapman Stadium.\u00a0 Tulsa is 7-1 ATS off a win against a conference rival.<\/p>\n

The Golden Hurricane have registered a 7-13 home record against ranked opponents, with the last such win coming over No. 24 UTEP in the 2004 season finale.\u00a0 Quarterback G.J. Kinne receives a lot of praise in Conference USA, but the rest of the country is learning more about the senior.\u00a0 He has passed for 6,894 career yard and 58 touchdowns, while amassing 7,912 total yards of offense.\u00a0 The team has won eight of its last nine games, as its seven-game winning streak was snapped in the season opener.\u00a0 Tulsa outscored opponents by a 45.9 to 30.9 margin in those games.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Golden Hurricane due to their 10-2 ATS mark, while the road team is 1-6 ATS in the series.<\/p>\n
