All The Eyeballs

In a piece breaking down college football’s best game from week to week, Bedlam fit the bill for week eleven.

Week 11
Best game: Oklahoma State at Oklahoma. It won’t be quite the offensive masterwork of last year’s edition of Bedlam, but this could be the highest-scoring game of the day. Who performs better: Oklahoma State’s Justice Hill or Oklahoma’s Rodney Anderson? [SportingNews]

Pretty impressive to be perceived ahead of Florida State-Notre Dame and Auburn @ Georgia. But Bedlam, as lop-sided as it has been, has been must-see TV for college football fans four out of every five years.

Invaluable Context

This by TW’s Bill Haisten on some of the circumstances Taylor Cornelius has seen at Oklahoma State and how 2018 is different than 2014 is incredibly relevant in the 2018 Cowboy Football narrative.

Transfer Daxx Garman would take his first meaningful snaps in 58 months.

Not 58 weeks, but 58 months.

Among the witnesses to the ensuing carnage was Taylor Cornelius, who at the time was a first-year freshman — a walk-on from the Texas Panhandle.

A healthy Walsh gave OSU a QB run threat, and that would have helped to cover deficiencies like a sub-standard offensive line, a lack of offensive playmakers and a defense that was splattered by quality opponents.

A mostly terrible season included a five-game losing streak.

Patience, persistence and development have elevated the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Cornelius to center stage — to the Cowboys’ starting role — and he is infinitely more fortunate in 2018 than Garman was in 2014.

Justice Hill is an elite running back, the Cowboys continue to be outfitted with dynamic receivers, the offensive line has a chance to be the program’s best since 2013, and new coordinator Jim Knowles applies his interesting approach to a defense rife with speed. Mike Gundy’s 14th Oklahoma State squad is substantially better prepared to support a new quarterback. [TulsaWorld]

OSU and NCAA Notes

Tyreek Hill’s 2014 case was dismissed as probation expires….Cowgirl Soccer excited to open their new stadium today against OU….Now that Cleveland’s best receiver is in camp, “Dez Bryant is no longer on the front-burner”….Michael Doutey takes a look at how deep and talented OSU is at running back….The rise of the college football strength coach….CRFF picks the toughest opposing player in all 12 Cowboy games

Not a concern. He lets it all hang out at Media Days then it hits it’s stride again in November.

Happy late b-day to OSU’s history-changing AD.

Could you imagine how hilarious this could be if OSU did something like this with Garth?

Fun for the under 35 crowd to see Gundy dropping dimes.

Refreshingly, honest thoughts here from a leading voice in college football on the Ohio State situation.
