Central Michigan Chippewas Game Notes
Central Michigan redshirt freshman WR Tyson Davis is participating in spring practice. After an injury ending his season last year, Davis (5’9/175) looks to be ready to play in 2022. He’s using the spring practice to rehab and should be a full participant come later in the summer. As long as he’s healthy in September, he should compete for a starting spot as a slot receiver.
Oklahoma State Cowboys Game Notes
Oklahoma State redshirt senior QB Spencer Sanders was named preseason first-team All-Big 12 quarterback. The last time we saw Sanders (6’1/205), he lit up the Notre Dame defense for nearly 400 yards and four touchdowns in the Fiesta Bowl this past January. Going into the year, he was rewarded with the first-team preseason selection. A three-year starter, Sanders is an electric player that can win with both his arm and his legs.

Central Michigan vs. Oklahoma State Betting Prediction
This should be a lopsided matchup but CMU has pulled off some miraculous upsets in previous years, perhaps none bigger than beating then-No. 24 Oklahoma State in Stillwater back in 2016. Thus, I’m going with the total. The under is 7-1-1 in the Cowboys’ last nine games played in the month of September, is 19-9-1 in their last 29 games overall and is 5-2-1 in their last eight non-conference games. On the other side, the under is 7-2 in the Chips’ last nine road games and has cashed in four of their last five games against the Big 12.
