TU fought hard but came up short against the Cowboys

September 19, 2019 Jeff Brucculeri

The last time the Oklahoma State Cowboys visited H.A. Chapman Stadium on The University of Tulsa campus, a severe lightning storm moved through the area just before the scheduled 9:10 p.m. kickoff, delaying the start of the game for over three hours. When the game finally finished at 3:35 a.m., Oklahoma State had won 59-33….

Chuba Hubbard gains 221 yards

September 5, 2019

Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard took up where he left off last season as he rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns in a 52-36 win over Oregon State of the Pac-12 Conference in Corvallis, Oregon, Friday night. The Cowboys rushed for 352 yards and had 555 total yards of offense. “They’ve been good…

OSU has a long road trip, night game at Oregon State

August 29, 2019

Oklahoma State will travel through three time zones to open the season with a late-night kickoff (9:30 p.m.) against a Pac-12 opponent. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the opponent is Oregon State, maybe the worst team in the Pac-12 in 2018. Oregon State was 2-10 last season, with the lone wins…

No starting OSU QB selected

August 22, 2019

The Oklahoma State quarterback battle between Dru Brown and Spencer is still neck and neck as both have improved in recent practices, according to Coach Mike Gundy. “(Brown) continues to get better through reps,” Gundy said last Thursday after an 110-play scrimmage. “Each one of those guys (Brown and Spencer Sanders) gets a little better…

Gundy isn’t ready to name a starting QB; both will play

August 15, 2019

A former football coach once said, “If you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have any quarterbacks.” Without a returning starter, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has two quarterbacks who are so similar that he might play both of them. And Gundy doesn’t have a problem with that. “We might not,” Gundy said when asked when…

Tulsa, OU and OSU are facing tough schedules this fall

August 8, 2019

Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State all have tough football schedules this season. In nonconference action, the Golden Hurricane have road games at Michigan State and San Jose State plus home contests against OSU and Wyoming.

Riley recruits Dallas; Gundy likes Hurts; Herman: Texas is back

August 1, 2019

Four new head coaches and the other six Big 12 football coaches met with the media in July near Dallas and some made some telling comments. OU coach Lincoln Riley knows he needs to recruit players in Texas, particularly in Dallas. “It’s a critical area for us and it has been historically and even maybe…

Gundy is waiting for a quarterback to earn the starting job

July 25, 2019 Charles Biggs

Oklahoma State hasn’t named a starting quarterback for 2019 but you can bet that Coach Mike Gundy will have one that will do well running his high-powered offense. After a disappointing 7-6 season in 2018, OSU lost offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich to Ohio State and Gundy hired Princeton’s Sean Gleeson. They will pick between redshirt…

Six Sooners, three Cowboys named to All-Big 12 team

July 18, 2019

Hurts, Murray rate individual recognitions If the media pundits are correct, Oklahoma should be in great shape for a run at a fifth consecutive Big 12 Conference football title. Six Sooners were picked on the Preseason All-Big 12 team and OU linebacker Kenneth Murray was chosen as the “defensive player of the year” in the…

NCAA’s transfer portal greases the skids for college athletes

July 11, 2019

When Baker Mayfield transferred to Oklahoma from Texas Tech, former OU football coach Bob Stoops didn’t meet him until he was already on campus and enrolled in classes. That transfer was disastrous for the Red Raiders but a boon for OU. At first, Texas Tech wanted Mayfield to lose a year of eligibility as punishment…
