Daily Bullets (Sept. 29): UCF Kick Time Announced, Pokes Racking Up Awards

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

OSU Bullets

• Kickoff for OSU’s next game – at home against UCF – was announced yesterday (PFB) • Pokes racked up Big 12 weekly rewards after the big win (PF) • Saturday wasn’t the Pokes sneaking out a win in Morgantown.

I don’t even think West Virginia played poorly. The Cowboys were just that good. It was reasonable to ask the Cowboys to back up the Oregon win before fully trusting them again after the Tulsa debacle. Mission accomplished. The Pokes are now in the top 20 and look like bona fide Big 12 title contenders. If they take care of business against UCF next week, their mid-October trip to Houston looms large.

• Cowgirl boss Jacie Hoyt landed a good, long contract extension (PFB) • Pokes are tied for most explosive plays since week one (X)

Explosive plays (20-yard pass/10-yard rush) since Week 1: 1. Oklahoma State (43) 1. Miami (43) 3. SMU (42) 4. Duke (37) 5. Indiana (36) 5. West Virginia (36)
