• Maybe the most impressive aspect of the Cowboys’ win on Saturday was how they responded to what happened earlier in the week.

“So I was really proud of our coaches and schemes and staying with it and the players recovering from it because it’s a shock to them. You know that’s their buddy, and when that happens it’s unfortunate. But it’s a tough game, and sometimes that happens, and I was really proud of them as much for this game as any in a long long time.”

It was hard to buy optimism for the Cowboys on Saturday without Tylan Wallace. But without their second-best player, the Pokes took on Gundy’s unflinching persona and finished the job.

• While an elite offense can carry you to double-digit wins, it appears a top-50 defense can carry a mostly one-dimensional offense to back-to-back wins.

After getting three fourth-quarter interceptions at Iowa State, the Cowboys defense got four takeaways against TCU. OSU totaled five sacks and eight quarterback hurries.

For the first time in two years, Oklahoma State has recorded back-to-back Big 12 wins. [TulsaWorld]

• Kyle Boone gave his pitch for Chuba’s Heisman candidacy and nestled in this Chuba-promo was a line that draws out the absurdity of Hubbard’s season.

Chuba was phenomenal. He was preternatural. He’s been so good, in fact, we’ve somehow come to think that a 223-yard, two score stat line is just something that happens with 20 carries.

It doesn’t.

It does, however, happen when you’ve got a player worthy of Heisman contention. [PFB]

How many yards would Chuba have to rush to turn your head? 300? 200+ on Patterson might be the equivalent to holding Lincoln Riley below 30.

• The Willie Taggart era has ended in Tallahassee. They raised $20m to fire him!

• SP+ has the Pokes as the No. 26 team in the country – No. 12 offensively and No. 54 defensively. ESPN’s FPI has the Pokes at No. 27.

• Don’t look now, but Oregon State is second in the PAC-12 North. That’s a quality win for OSU if they (were) making a playoff argument. This also tells you how atrocious that division is.
