How to watch Texas football vs. OK State: TV, live stream, game time, and pick
On the afternoon of Oct. 31, Texas football and head coach Tom Herman will take on No. 6 Oklahoma State and longtime head coach Mike Gundy.
Getting past the No. 6 ranked and undefeated Oklahoma State Cowboys on the road on Oct. 31 will be the main task at hand for fourth-year Texas football head coach Tom Herman and his side. Texas needs a win on the field, and on the recruiting trail, after what was a crazy week for this program in general.
From losing the commitment of the nation’s top ranked 2022 high school prospect, to nearly seeing the complete 2022 class fall apart, the results on the recruiting trail this week didn’t do Herman any favors. With that, the hot seat keeps getting more and more pressure-laden for Herman as time moves along.
Texas comes into this game with a record of 3-2 (2-2 Big 12) after beating the Baylor Bears back at home on Oct. 24, by the final score of 27-16. That win over Baylor helped break a two-game skid for the Longhorns last weekend.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State comes into this game with a record of 4-0 (3-0 Big 12), after knocking off the No. 17 ranked Iowa State Cyclones at home by the final score of 24-21. Oklahoma State is about the best chance for the Big 12 to make the College Football Playoff at this point.
Entering this game, Texas is an underdog by just over a field goal margin in the betting line against Oklahoma State. But the ESPN Football Power Index does give slight favor to the Longhorns, giving them just north of a 52 percent chance to win the game.
Here’s a look at the live stream, kick off time, pick for the game, and more as Texas takes on Oklahoma State on the road on Oct. 31.

Injured Texas football players
Texas is set to be pretty healthy against Oklahoma State. Junior linebacker Joseph Ossai and senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger look to be healthy and ready to go after they underwent their own various ailments since the win over Baylor.
Ehlinger dealt with various lower-body minor injuries since the start of Big 12 play. But he should be good to go at least at the outset for the Longhorns. And he still leads the FBS in total touchdowns (with 24).
Meanwhile, Ossai is coming back from an upper-body injury of his own. While there were questions surrounding his status coming out of the weekend, he’s been ready to go in practice leading up to this Oklahoma State game.
Still the most notable missing Longhorns in this game will be redshirt freshman wide receiver Jordan Whittington out for yet another week recovering from a knee surgery. He should be back before too long, but it likely won’t be in this game.
Picking Texas football vs. Oklahoma State
Texas is somehow favored in this game against Oklahoma State in the ESPN FPI. Although Oklahoma State looks to be in a much better situation coming into this game, the Longhorns might have a chance to pull off a pretty special upset.
The expectation should hold it that the Longhorns can put up a good fight, with the way they were able to hold back star running back Chuba Hubbard to well under four yards per carry last year. They had success in the past and that regard and that could bode well for Herman and first-year defensive coordinator Chris Ash.
We’ll also see how first-year Texas offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich is able to do against his former team and boss in Gundy. Maybe this is something that Texas can spin in their favor, but it doesn’t seem too likely in the midst of a bad week in general for this program.
