Daily Bullets (Aug. 19): Pokes’ Odds to Win Six Games, High Profile Transfer Dismissed

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

OSU Bullets

• OSU’s practice fields were named yesterday, honoring a supportive family (OKState.com)

• One of the top players to join the Cowboys from the portal was reportedly dismissed from the team (PFB)

• Interesting to see – according to KFord Ratings, Pokes have a 40 percent chance to win four league games (X)

• For those keeping an eye on Ollie Gordon’s fantasy running back status, the most recent game and the order of carries wasn’t super encouraging.

The good news (for Jaylen Wright) is that Gordon did not play his first offensive snap until Wright’s day was done. This makes it clear that there is no running back competition. If Achane were to get hurt at some point this season, we should expect significant opportunities for Wright.

• It’s kind of impressive the Big 12 found five highlights from 2024:
