Jeremy Seaton on Mike Yurcich calling him one of the more important offensive players OSU has: “That’s nice to hear, but I don’t know if that’s true. There’s definitely a lot of guys on the team that are making a lot more plays than I am.” (O’Colly)

Dez does London. (PFB)

Texas’ defensive front is starting to play really well. Yay! (NewsOK)

The 10-9 combined record between the Cowboys and Longhorns is the worst heading into the game since 1968, when they were a combined 0-2-1 going into an early-season meeting. (Tulsa World)

Hoops

The underappreciated work of Le’Bryan Nash.[1. Does anyone even care about basketball or should I just take a few months off and get back at it when baseball starts?] (PFB)
