Provo • It’s a short week for Kalani Sitake’s program, fresh off a 41-16 win over Arizona last Saturday.

Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State are coming to town — reeling from a three-game losing streak and searching for answers.

The Cowboys had last week off to get their house in order. And it could start by changing its quarterback.

Veteran Alan Bowman has been the starter for the better part of two years. But backup Garret Rangel could make his first start of the year on Friday.

A new quarterback might complicate things for BYU. Still, the biggest wildcard remains the whereabouts of Ollie Gordon III. Gordon led the nation in rushing in 2023. But he has less than 400 yards this season.

Sitake was worried Gordon might find answers over the bye week. He just hopes those answers won’t come at his expense.

This early game gives BYU an extra few days before its long trip to Florida next Saturday. But for now, the Cougars are just looking for a 7-0 start and to keep in the college football playoff hunt.
