After 1945! Utah Football and Oklahoma State Cowboys kickoff! This time both teams enter the Big 12. As they begin Big 12 conference play, their highly anticipated game on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Boone Pickens Stadium, is crucial for both programs. This game will kick off at 4 p.m. ET and be broadcast on FOX. Not to forget, this will be their second meetup after October 20, 1945, and that time the Cowboys prevailed 46–6. Will the Cowboys replicate their performance or suffer a defeat against Utah this time?

This year Utah is ranked in the top 15 for the 67th time since 2005, and they come into the game ranked No. 10 in the Coaches poll and No. 12 in the AP poll under head coach Kyle Whittingham. On the other hand, Oklahoma State is ranked No. 14 and just wrapped up a successful non-conference campaign under Mike Gundy. However, through three games, the Cowboys have outscored their opponents 128-61, including a resounding victory over Arkansas in double overtime and a decisive victory over Tulsa. Do you know who will be reporting on the UTAH vs. Cowboys matchup this season?

Well, you will listen to the game in the voice of Jason Benetti and Brock Huard on Fox. Jason Benetti is an American sportscaster, and he works for the Major League Baseball Detroit Tigers on television as a play-by-play commentator. In addition, he collaborates with the CHAT Camp at Syracuse University’s Burton Blatt Institute. On top of this, he works for many big houses like ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, and so on. Let’s move to another newscaster of that BIG day.

Before 2019, Brock Anthony played professionally in the National Football League as a quarterback. He even played college football for the Washington Huskies. In 2019, he started his career as a newscaster and was named as a color commentator for Fox Sports’ college football telecasts. Later, he joined Benetti for the Pac-12, Big Ten, and Big 12 conferences in the same year. Currently, he serves Fox as a sideline reporter. Now, you get an overall idea about Saturday’s matchup between Utah and the Cowboys. Wait, get some idea about their rivalry too!

Some predictions on Utah vs Oklahoma State Cowboys

The most intriguing fact is that both the team enters in week 4 with a record of 3-0. Standing there, Talent averages favor Utah slightly, with players like offensive tackle Spencer Fano and linebacker Lander Barton. Conversely, Wide receiver Talyn Shettron and linebacker Kendal Daniels are two of the Cowboys’ stars, who have the potential to beat Utah this year. Albeit, both the team historically performed well, frequently concluding with classes ranked in the 30s.
However, Utah has another advantage, their head coach! Whittingham has won 17 of his 19 seasons as a head coach, making him the longest-tenured coach in the Big 12 and the second-longest in the FBS. Whereas Okhlama State’s Gundy led the team to their best season in 20 years. So, there is a huge chance that the atmosphere is sure to be electrifying. Let’s wait and watch the faceoff.
