Daily Bullets (Sept. 28): Pokes Are Ranked, “Head and Shoulders More Enjoyable”

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news. 

OSU Bullets

• The Pokes climbed into the AP Top 25 after the win over West Virginia (PFB)

• Drew Mestemaker’s Heisman odds are rising after the win (HCS)

• Loved these two excerpts from the “Ten Thoughts” article after Saturday’s win – what a fun time to be pulling for the Pokes:

“Midway through the second half, I had an epiphany that win or lose, watching this team play football is just head and shoulders more enjoyable than anything we were subjected to the past two seasons. The Cowboys are back to throwing it around the yard, scoring points and playing meaningful football.” [PFB]

• Jaylen Warren rushed for 127 and the Pittsburgh Steelers got back on track (CBS Sports) • This is more bullish than logical, but fun to see someone high on the Pokes:
