Best of Social Media: Pokes Rally to Huge Comeback Win, Secure Bowl Eligibility

What a game in Stillwater on Senior Day! If you’d have told me OSU could beat West Virginia after being down 17 at half and committing four turnovers (oh aaaand without Justice Hill), I would have told you that you were out of your mind. But it happened. What. A. Game.

The pregame video should have gotten your juices flowing early this morning.

Senior Day for a great group of Cowboys! #GoPokes #okstate pic.twitter.com/M1WH7ADPc6

Orange-Black-Black for the last game in BPS for many seniors.

One last ride in the orange and black at home for our seniors. Let’s send them off in style, see you at BPS! #okstate pic.twitter.com/YsvHLYuZXI

Pokes were without several players do to injury on Saturday — but it didn’t matter.

At this point, no Justice Hill, JD King, Johnny Wilson, Shane Richards or Arlington Hambright in pads for #OKState

A.J. Green came up with massive plays all day. But one of his most shining moments was this altercation with Holgorsen.

Early on, special teams woes were real for the Pokes.

Hunziker must’ve knocked on wood while saying this.

"I've gone as far back as the 2002 season and I have yet to find an instance of West Virginia blowing a 17-point lead. Not once." #okstate

Not a great first half for Corn. He would redeem himself, though. Don’t worry.

Not a good first half for Cornelius. When he’s on, he’s great. When he’s off, #okstate’s offense is handicapped. “We gotta try to get Corndog settled down,” Gundy tells Bobby A. going into half.

It seemed like the Pokes might be done for when Grier scored on a QB draw on fourth-and-6 with about 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter… The signal for the play call? You guessed it.

That play signal was a horns down! Hahaha

Corndog wasn’t going away. He played angry on Senior Day.

Love this from Corn. Glad Keyes ran in! But love this from Corn. pic.twitter.com/EAWxI2axnH

Corn with the big time score to cut the lead to 3!

Pokes … hanging! Down 41-38 with 5 minutes left. pic.twitter.com/t55dcbmM2C

Tylan Wallace was quiet most of the afternoon, but when it mattered the most, he made the play to take the lead.

Here’s the last snap from WVU!

Oklahoma State, a two-point conversion away from beating THREE top 10 teams in a rebuilding year.

And a hat tip from two of the greatest to ever suit up in Stilly.

You can't say enough about how @okstate @CoachGundy fought back today. #OKSTvsWVA @ABC @espn @ncaa #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/Iyssa1PTmy

Nice win #OkState..

All the Selfies.

Truly can’t stop laughing at how many people are attempting to take selfies with Taylor Cornelius at once here. This is art. #okstate pic.twitter.com/C38hCoY6ug
