Staff Score Predictions: How Will Oklahoma State vs. South Alabama End?
The Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the South Alabama Tigers on Sunday at 6 p.m. local time. The Cowboys look to jump to 3-0 on the season despite rotating three quarterbacks in each game.
If the revolving quarterback trend follows suit, Gunnar Gundy should start under center, with Garret Rangel relieving him and Alan Bowman closing out the game. This will have allowed each quarterback to control a different part of the game in the three games.
Maybe, just maybe, Mike Gundy will be able to pick a starting quarterback after the third matchup with this adjustment going on. The run game will be something to keep an eye on for this matchup, too.
Here are the staff score predictions for Oklahoma State vs. South Alabama:
Ivan White (@ivanbball13)
After the Cowboys pitched a shutout in the second half against Arizona State and seemed to find at least some rhythm offensively, it's hard to pick against them this week. Concerns about a three-quarterback experiment still remain, but perhaps this is the week where one surpasses the others.
South Alabama is no easy task for OSU as Carter Bradley, the quarterback of last season’s 10-3 USA team, is still around. So long as the OSU defense can keep him and the Jaguars’ offense at bay, then OSU could gain some separation.
Score: Oklahoma State 34, South Alabama 20

Oklahoma State is building off an incredible second half against Arizona State. If the defense can bring that same level of effectiveness against South Alabama, the Cowboys should be able to leave it up to the offense to build separation.
The Cowboys aren't facing an easy opponent, as South Alabama had a solid season a year ago, and the offense should be able to break the mold of scoring 27 points. If all goes right, the Cowboys should be able to cover the spread and take down the Jaguars.
Score: Oklahoma State 31, South Alabama 21
