This is the third in my series of interviews with 2023 SuperWest nonconference football opponents.
In this episode, I talk with beat writer Scott Wright of The Oklahoman about the state of the Oklahoma State Football program.
We discuss the Cowboys’ roster heading into the 2023 season and touch on the uncertainty of Arizona State’s roster, which has been retooled by new Sun Devil head coach Kenny Dillingham.
Wright gives us his sense of the September 9th game against ASU at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, and we make our initial lighthearted predictions.
Oklahoma State and Arizona State are 2-2 in the all-time series dating back to 1984. The Sun Devils lost that game but won the next two, in 1991 and 1993.
You can reach Wright on Twitter at @ScottWrightOK, and I’m always open to your comments at @WordsByBartlett.
