Daily Bullets (July 28): Just Four More Saturdays without Football

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

It’s time to start crossing items off that To Do list because we have just four Saturdays left without OSU football. 

OSU Bullets

• Lexi Kilfoyl got the start in her pro debut, and made the most of it winning Game MVP honors.

Hear from Lexi Kilfoyl after her stellar debut last night to pick up her first win as a pro.

After giving up a run in the first inning, the rookie settled in to throw a complete game finishing with a final line of: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K@cowgirlsb | @auprosoftball pic.twitter.com/KqmcfQ0qkt — Savanna Collins (@savannaecollins) July 27, 2024

• Former Cowboys Zach Ehrard inks his deal with the Red Sox organization.

4th-rder Zach Ehrhard signs w/@RedSox for $500k (slot 115 = $630,900). @OSUBaseballOF, disciplined approach, improved power, plus speed, can handle CF. @MLBDraft pic.twitter.com/uYfZb1nAhJ

• Following Tyler’s countdown. This is one of those games that sticks with you. Was so much fun.

45 unforgettable plays of the Mike Gundy era

#35- 2018 vs #9 ranked WVU. 3rd & 20 when Corndog comes under pressure and delivers an absolute missile to Tyron Johnson while on the run to keep the drive alive. A 21 point 4th quarter (!) would give the Cowboys a win in BPS 45-41. pic.twitter.com/Q7x5TwsJra

• Also, an interesting look from Bryan on the real-world chances of Ollie4Heisman. 

Went back to 1980 to look at RBs Heisman winners. Below I have averages for all, averages for the blue blood schools, and for the non blue blood. Looking at Ollie’s numbers, he will need to do more tonight just be considered. https://t.co/x0Plv7fQeM pic.twitter.com/RTX9tO1k2i
