PROVO, Utah – Senior running back Hinckley Ropati expects to make his 2024 breakout against the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Friday night. BYU’s lead back returned from injury last week against Arizona and posted nine carries for 65 rushing yards.

Ropati averaged 5.2 yards per carry in 2022 before suffering a season-ending injury in 2023, but he now gets a great opportunity to show his skills against the Cowboys. Friday night’s college football prop for Ropati’s rushing yards has -130 odds to go over 45.5 yards.

Hinckley Ropati Rushing Yards Prop

  • Over 45.5 Rushing Yards -130
  • Under 45.5 Rushing Yards +100

Ropati cleared this number in both games he’s played without an injury. He averaged 7.2 yards per carry last week against Arizona and expects to have success against a bad Oklahoma State run defense.

Bet Against Oklahoma State’s Bottom-Five Run Defense

The Cowboys allow 257.2 rushing yards per game this season. Only three teams in the country surrender more rushing yards per game this season. Ropati’s college football props in Utah are a no-brainer against the Cowboys, who’ve given up 150+ rushing yards to the opposing team’s starting running back in three straight games.

Oklahoma State also ranks bottom-20 in the country for rushing yards per carry before and after contact, which pairs well with BYU’s solid offensive line that ranks 53rd for yards before contact. Ropati’s rushing yards prop is the best way to go for OK CFB prop betting, but you can also find his odds to score a touchdown at +100 odds or +500 odds for two or more touchdowns on Friday night.
