OSU Bullets

• Pokes climb in the polls after the Arkansas win + Pokes open as big favorites over Tulsa (PFB + 247 Sports)

• What stood out after rewatching the Arkansas game + updates from around the Big 12 (PFB)

• While beating Arkansas felt a bit outlandish after a brutal first half, this college football writer substantiated the overarching sentiment felt by fans: Mike Gundy wins close games 

Midway through the fourth quarter of this absolutely madcap affair, I texted a friend and said, “This feels like a game Oklahoma State has won 37 times over the last few years, and this feels like a game Arkansas has lost 37 times over the last few years.” Scientific? No, but Mike Gundy’s Cowboys are now 18-8 in one-score finishes since 2020 and have won six of their past seven, while Sam Pittman’s Razorbacks have lost 10 of their past 12.
