OSU Bullets

• Kicktime and TV coverage for the K-State game were announced, K-State opens as a four-point favorite on one betting site (PFB + X) •  Cowboys dropped in both polls after the loss (PFB) • How was OSU able to turn on the offense late against Utah after being MIA for 3.5 quarters? It’s possible Utah played the Cowboys differently with a three-possession lead with less than half of the fourth quarter to go.

During those (scoring) possessions, the Cowboy offense functioned at a faster tempo and with substantially more urgency than had been the case for 3½ quarters. Why did there have to have a 22-3 deficit before the Cowboy offense played faster and with some urgency? [TulsaWorld]

• ICYMI – Ten Thoughts from the loss to Utah (PFB) • This is a great point – should coaches and players be made available for questions in the day of big salaries and NIL?

I had all sorts of questions for (Kasey) Dunn and (Alan) Bowman. I’m guessing most Cowboy fans did, too. In this era of massive salaries for coordinators and sizable NIL deals for quarterbacks, both Dunn and Bowman are making enough money (paid for, in part, by fans buying tickets and donating to collectives) to provide answers.

Non-OSU Bullets
