Murray State

Vegas has us at some really wild odds, at 57.5. I can't remember the last time we had odds like that and felt good about it. Now, on paper, Murray State seems to be like Savannah State, and I'm sure everyone remembers that game.

Interestingly, Murray State's record seems to run almost parallel to Oklahoma State's in the last two years, going 1-11 in 2025 and 2024, but a losing streak of 20 games before their win against Indiana State at the conclusion of the '25 season. They are currrently 1-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference, with a 99-182 record in the FCS since 2001. They are 0-24 against FBS teams, with the 2019 to the 2024 campaigns pairing them against two opponents each year.

Some notable coaches had stops at Murray State including: Ron Zook, Frank Beamer, Houston Nutt, Justin Fuente.

What do we think the score is going to be?

I’d really like to stomp them and maybe sneak into the Top 25 before we start conf play.

An FCS win isn’t going to improve our rankings. Earliest we can is probably October 10th against UCF.

2012 vs. Savannah State was crazy... the heat was crazy too

I don’t think there was even a line for that game.

Can’t be any hotter than the last 2 games tho. Nostalgic sweatiness hits hard tho

Morris rests everyone and closes the playbook but Murray State isn’t Tulsa, so pokes win 21-6

I hope we get a lead and rest our starters. We need everyone healthy for big 12.
