Bullets: Are Tyreek Hill’s days at running back over?
Great Jake Spavital article, OSU hasn’t played a Big 12 team with a win, and we have a Trevone Boykin problem.

Must read on Jake Spavital who Dana Holgorsen says he doesn’t remember living with in Stillwater. (Tulsa World)
A good offensive coordinator could help aid an ailing ground game in many ways. First of all, increase the splits of your lineman. You do not need to pack the lineman in as tight as you can to run the ball effectively – this is not the early twentieth century – no one runs the flying wedge anymore. (CRFF)
OSU hasn’t played a Big 12 team with a winning record. (NewsOK)
Wow, there are five undefeated teams. Last season at this time there were 14, the year before that there were 12. (Big 12 Sports)
OSU is a top 15 team for the sixth time in seven years. (PFB)
Cowboys fans are quick to long for departed line coach Joe Wickline, not realizing it was Wick who left this mess. His recent recruiting of linemen reveals too many misses and holes in the depth chart, an issue that has forced a hard lean on attracting junior college help to plug the gaps. (NewsOK)
I’m still scratching my head at Mississippi State being No. 1. (CBS Sports)
Trevone Boykin might be the most improved player in the country. (NewsOK)
It also is apparent following Saturday in Lawrence that Tyreek Hill is now going to play almost exclusively at receiver. I like that move as it gives him a better chance for home-run plays than he has at running back. (Scout)
I’ll take the Liberty Bowl as long as Texas goes to the Cactus. (ESPN)
In case you missed the Weekend Bullets on Sunday they included all the post-Kansas recap stuff. (PFB)
Hah, this is pretty good. A meme recap of the Kansas game. (CRFF)
Emptying the notebook on OSU-Kansas. (PFB)
How about this Texas player punching his teammate in the face?? (Fox SW)
“I knew he wasn’t going to get caught by the kicker.” (NewsOK)
At Florida State, football clouds justice. Not a good look for the ‘Noles (though they certainly aren’t alone). (NYT)
What I saw as an NFL ball boy, pretty shocking read. Via Justin Southwell. (NYT)
Is this spin city or hope for the future?

Good breakdown by Royce on what KD’s injury means for the season. (Daily Thunder)

WONG WONG WONG WONG GONE! (Deadspin)
I’ll take one of both.
just saw a guy in Starbucks with orange/black "Always October" shirt. I need a blue one that says, "Almost April."
