Daily Bullets (Sept. 2): Cowboys Open as Favorites, Where OSU Dominated SDSU

We’re looking for sponsorships for the upcoming season and school year. Are you interested in sponsoring 10 Thoughts or Daily Bullets? Reach out to Marshall at pistolsfiringblog@gmail.com to get the conversation started.

OSU Bullets

• Pokes open a nearly double-digit favorite over the Hogs (PFB)

• Updates from around the Big 12 – how week one went for the rest of the league (PFB)

• This is one of the better summaries of the OSU-SDSU game – love how the third/fourth down numbers were highlighted: 

Last year’s Cowboys would have almost certainly lost a Week 1 battle with last year’s South Dakota State, but with Gordon’s return and one of the most experienced rosters in the country, OSU entered 2024 knowing itself pretty well.

The Pokes gave a less experienced SDSU team no chance, building an early 10-0 lead, getting 146 combined scrimmage yards and three touchdowns from Gordon and holding the Jackrabbits to a combined 3-for-17 on third and fourth downs.

“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.”

— C.S. Lewis
