OK State on SI’s Score Predictions: Oklahoma State vs. Arkansas
Oklahoma State has its biggest test of the nonconference slate against an SEC squad.
OSU will kick off its first game against a FBS team on Saturday. While a matchup against an SEC team will bring challenges for the Cowboys, playing Arkansas could be a perfect early test as they look to make a College Football Playoff run.
Coming off a win against FCS No. 1 South Dakota State, OSU will look to carry its momentum into Week 2. With stars such as Ollie Gordon and Nick Martin having solid season debuts, OSU will need similar performances against Arkansas.

The Cowboys will be in a tight battle early before settling in and proving they are the better team. While Taylen Green will be a tough challenge, Bryan Nardo’s defense will get the job done, and OSU’s offense will be explosive enough to pull away in the second half.

The Cowboys will start their season off 2-0 with two straight impressive non-conference wins, but this one will make fans sweat a bit more than the season opener. Ollie Gordon and the rest of the offense will play well — and eventually put the game away — but a battle in the trenches will keep the Razorbacks close.

This will be an early test for Oklahoma State’s experienced offensive line in the trenches. But ultimately, the Pokes will have the firepower to win this game in somewhat of a shootout. Pencil in Ollie Gordon for a pair of scores and OSU’s secondary for a pick.

Arkansas will be a far tougher test than many are assuming, but Oklahoma State’s experience should come in handy against their former Big 12 rival.
Gordon and Bowman should have enough juice to help them cruise past the Razorbacks.

Texas bee swarm hospitalizes 3; Arkansas doctors explain warning signs of severe reactions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.
