• To frame how unique these struggles have been for the Pokes, below are the numbers on repeat losses under Mike Gundy.

OSU (6-3, 3-3) dropped back-to-back games in the regular season for the first time since November 2018, when the Cowboys lost at Baylor 35-31 and at Oklahoma 48-47 in succession.

The 2017 and 2012 seasons also included back-to-back losses to Baylor and Oklahoma, and OSU lost five in a row during a rough stretch of 2014. Gundy’s teams also had consecutive losses during his first three seasons (2005, 2006, 2007).
