Daily Bullets (Oct. 20): Night Game in Ames, Expedited Timelines with a Touted QB

• Pokes draw a night kickoff for Halloween in Ames (PFB)

• Where the Pokes are projected to bowl at the midway point (PFB)

• This Cowboy Football team is dealing with a new pressure since the Oregon game – higher expectations.

They must hit their potential now if they intend to turn this season, which is increasingly looking like Drew Mestemaker’s last college try, into a special one. In the old days, this fall would be all about proving Oklahoma State could hang on the field with anyone, and 2027 would be THE year the Cowboys really aim for championships. But as the last regime repeatedly discovered, those days are long gone. [PFB]

• How OSU’s 2027 recruiting class performed on Friday night (PFB)

• We’ve got an orange fountain, folks.
