OSU Bullets

• A couple of Jim Knowles’ defenders made the AP All-American teams

• Fun that Collin Oliver was listed as a Heisman sleeper for 2022 – he and Trace Ford with that interior will be terrors next year

• I like this take on why OSU’s open coordinator position should be a desirable opening:

It isn’t just OSU’s defensive prowess this season and how a majority of those players are scheduled to return. It’s OSU’s overall place as an 11-win contender. It’s the fresh air breathed into the program by (Chad) Weiberg and university president Kayse Shrum.

Also… Big 12 offenses aren’t so frightening any longer. We’ll see what Cincinnati, BYU, UCF and Houston add in terms of firepower in a couple years, but right now?

OSU defensive coordinator should be a job with an extremely high favorability rating for a pool of extremely attractive candidates.

[TulsaWorld]

• Mike Gundy deflected any questions about reportedly reaching out to Florida about their head coach opening – interesting note: the social media reports were “confirmed to the Tulsa World Monday that the email was obtained through a public records request.”

• Mike Gundy also won’t be announcing a defensive coordinator hire until after the bowl game

• Hard to imagine something college guys would be more excited about than Playstation 5s:

Non-OSU Bullets

• Enjoyed this fiction read over the weekend, easy fun read. Enjoying this Grisham read more.
• Spencer Rattler is headed to South Carolina
• What an awesome story about a Dunkin’ donuts employee who was gifted a home by a customer
