Daily Bullets (Feb. 3): What OSU Has That Opponents Won’t, Beat the Wildcats

Previewing the Pokes’ game against K-State today at 1 p.m. CST in Stillwater – go Cowboys. 

Scores

Wrestling: Pokes 28, Arizona State 9

Three Thoughts

• Loved this point from Guerin Emig – OSU’s first half of the season will be tough, but they’ve got something their opponents don’t. 

Here, though, is an important difference: the Cowboys aren’t just experienced, they are stable. College football programs can be one or the other during the transfer portal boom. It’s rare for them to be both.

• The title of this PFB article could describe OSU’s struggles this winter on hardwood: Growing Pains: Breaking Down the Mass Amount of Minutes OSU Freshmen Have Played This Season

• The real excitement this weekend is more around the tight matchup with Missouri today:

The 10-0 Cowboys will get Arizona State on Friday before heading to Columbia for a dual with the back-to-back Big 12 champion Missouri Tigers on Saturday. Each of the past two meetings between OSU and Mizzou have been decided by one point.

One Question

• Clever idea to pick out a Big 12 player that would be fun to play on a video game with – OSU’s pick was Ollie Gordon. Which Cowboy running back would you rather play with: peak Chuba Hubbard, Ollie Gordon, Justice Hill, or Chris Carson?
