Daily Bullets (November 5)
Match Play
While the ending was crushing, getting to see a masterful quarterback pairing will go down in the annals of Boone Pickens Stadium history.
But there was also some pretty spectacular play by Mayfield and Rudolph.
Neither quarterback started off all that well. Mayfield was intercepted on OU’s first possession. Rudolph was off the first couple times that OSU had the ball. But when Mayfield found a wide-open Dimitri Flowers for the first touchdown of the game, it was like the first punch had been landed.
Rudolph fought back the very next drive, hitting Tyron Johnson on a 60-yard reception, then throwing a beautiful fade to Marcell Atemen in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown.
And the battle royale was on. [NewsOK]
It’s so OU that the tenure of one of Oklahoma State’s quarterbacks happens to coincide with a run of one of their elites.
I’m a Man (That Knows How to Make Headlines)
Bedlam recap deviation here – but fun tidbit on UNC coach (then Cowboy offensive coordinator) Larry Fedora’s reaction to Gundy’s famous rant.
“He lived across the street from me, so I got up, went across the street, banged on the door and said, ‘You could’ve at least told me!’ ” Fedora said. “It was before you could say things were going viral, but it was going viral. And you could see the strength in — I don’t if strength is the right word — but the marketing tool that you had when you made a headline. And he capitalized on that with recruiting, and everything. I think he saw that. Probably at that point, the light went on.”
Gundy believes that letting his personality show is good for his relationship with players, recruits and the media. It has also become Oklahoma State’s best marketing tool. [Washington Post]
Players seem to sincerely enjoy playing for Mike G. and the program has reaped publicity from his eccentric behaviors, a good pairing.
