Daily Bullets (Sept. 30): Big Plays for the Pokes to Win, Solid Bedlam Basketball Idea

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

OSU Bullets

• Playing a steady-but-not-explosive Baylor offense, the Pokes need Spencer Sanders to make big plays… for OSU exclusively.

The Cowboys have a better opportunity for big plays because they still have Sanders. Can they trust their quarterback to make a few through the air while avoiding the 7-interceptions crisis from a year ago? Yeah, I think they can.

But I also think they’re going to need Sanders to make something happen with his legs, get wide of Baylor’s nasty defensive interior and ad-lib to 50-60 rushing yards.

• Understanding Cowboy Basketball’s scholarship situation is quite an exercise

• A reader sent in an idea about Bedlam basketball to the TulsaWorld and I don’t hate it:

Certainly OSU and OU can continue playing basketball. It would be great if they played the last game before Christmas each year alternating between Tulsa and OKC. Huge crowds, great for basketball and a loss doesn’t ruin a season.
