OSU Bullets

•  Zac Robinson has a new job – coaching one of OSU’s greatest villains and tying their fate together (PFB) • Sunday’s wrestling match against Utah State has been cancelled, with an eye to rescheduling (OKState.com • CFB pundit Bill Connelly noted OSU as his longshot pick, as a surprise participant in the College Football Playoff:

Hear me out! Were the Cowboys abjectly hopeless in 2025? Absolutely. They plummeted to 1-11 with what was, per SP+, their worst team since 1963 (and they had some awfully bad teams in the 1990s). But they made a potentially dynamite hire in Eric Morris — one of my favorite hires of the cycle — and he has basically imported his dynamite North Texas offense, bringing in 17 former Mean Green players including stars in QB Drew Mestemaker, RB Caleb Hawkins and WR Wyatt Young. OSU will score plenty of points in 2026, and if the Cowboys’ close-games luck flips as well, they could be a huge turnaround story. Huge enough to make the CFP? Almost certainly not. But I’m going to connect on one of these outlandish picks at some point, and I’m going to be so insufferable about it when that happens. [ESPN]
