Daily Bullets (Sept. 19): Reasons to Pick the Pokes Over Utah

OSU Bullets

• Why David Taylor decided to compete for a spot in the World Championships (PFB)

• Good planning by Big 12 schedulers – OSU is involved in two of the top-six college football games in September (247 Sports)

• Solid argument from Bill Haisten on why the Pokes will win a close one over Utah this weekend: 

Because of that conditioning (that won the Arkansas game), because the weekend heat blast may have a real effect on the Utah players, and because of OSU’s Gundy-era history of success against ranked opponents, I’m expecting a 33-30 Cowboy victory over the Utes.

[TulsaWorld]

• OSU’s run game woes were explained earlier this week (247 Sports)

• College football updates from yesterday – ACC rumored to be taking a major step to retain Clemson and Florida State, expansion hasn’t played well for most teams (CBS Sports + Action) 

• Congrats to Jason Taylor – got picked up by the Cardinals yesterday:

We have made the following roster moves:

– Sign S Jason Taylor II
