Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has a 7-2 record over the Texas Longhorns. Gundy added to that margin last Saturday night as his underdog Cowboys popped formerly No. 6 Texas 38-35 at homecoming in Stillwater. “That one was a little more fun than the last couple,” Gundy said after the game. “So we were pretty…
With two weeks to prepare, Oklahoma State can regain some prestige with a homecoming win against No. 7 Texas on October 27. Texas has climbed to the top of the Big 12 rankings while the Cowboys have lost three of their last four games – all in the conference. “Me personally, I’m ready to play…
Oklahoma State and Texas seem to be headed in different directions. Both teams have a bye week and will meet at 7 p.m. (on ABC TV) on October 27 in Stillwater. Texas (4-0 in the Big 12, 6-1 overall) beat Baylor last weekend while OSU (1-3 in the Big 12, 4-3 overall) fell to Kansas…
Oklahoma State (4-2, 1-2 in the Big 12) badly needs a win over Kansas State (2-4, 0-3) Saturday to keep any hopes alive to make the Big 12 championship game. The chances fell dramatically Saturday as the Cowboys fell to Iowa State, 42-48, in Stillwater. That’s the second conference game that OSU has lost at…
My second trip to Texas was in 1973 when I was a student at The University of Oklahoma. Some friends and I drove to Dallas on a Friday afternoon with plans to see OU play Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Wow. The Bedlam game between OU and Oklahoma State is a storied and intense rivalry…
Oklahoma State quarterback Taylor Cornelius is playing at a high level as the Cowboys battle for a shot at the Big 12 Championship. Cornelius is No. 5 in the nation with 1,541 passing yards. He is hitting 62 percent of his passes and has thrown 12 touchdown passes (5 interceptions). His quarterback rating is 161.7…
There are at least two reasons why No. 21 Oklahoma State should be motivated to play Kansas Saturday. First, the Cowboys lost their conference opener to Texas Tech, 17-41, last Saturday and that was a critical home game. And secondly, Kansas has already won twice as many games as they did last year. Actually, the…
Oklahoma State’s new scoreboard should get a workout Saturday when the high-powered Texas Tech passing attack matches up with OSU’s retooled offense. Texas Tech true freshman Alan Bowman torched Houston Saturday as he threw for 605 yards and five touchdowns. That’s a Big 12 freshman record. And Bowman was named the Walter Camp National Player…
Something’s got to give. No. 17 Boise State is averaging 59 points a game and No. 24 Oklahoma State is averaging 56.5 points per game. Boise State is giving up on only points per game and OSU is surrendering only 15 points per game. Boise State comes to Stillwater at 2:30 p.m. Saturday for a…
With Taylor Cornelius debuting as starting quarterback, Oklahoma State’s offense dominated in last Thursday’s 58-17 win over Missouri State in Stillwater. Next up, the Cowboys host South Alabama at 7 p.m. on a game to be telecast on Fox Sports Net. South Alabama opened with a loss to Louisiana Tech, 26-30. OSU beat South Alabama…
