Football News

Great article on QB1 here. James Washington: “He’s patient with us. We’ll get open for him, and he delivers the ball. I think that’s what separates him from the rest.” [NewsOK]

Why the bye week comes at the perfect time for OSU. [PFB]

Hmmm … Oklahoma State’s record after a bye week under coach Mike Gundy is 11-8. [Tulsa World]

Ranking the five best WRs in OSU history. [PFB]

Chad Whitener: “The great thing about this sport is that it reveals what type of man you are. This game really teaches you to handle adverse situations and that’s the best part about football for me – all of the life lessons it teaches you when you’re playing.” [okstate]

Jordan Burton on turnovers: “From spring to fall camp … even during summer time, that’s what we harp on,” said linebacker Jordan Burton. “We can never have too many.” [Tulsa World]

ISU had a 92 percent chance of beating OSU at the end of Q3. [PFB]

Some great photos here from a Pistol Pete’s Partners meet and greet with the OSU football team. The kids are hilarious. [okstate]

James Washington might be the best deep threat ever. [PFB]

The crazy OSU-ISU drive charts. [PFB]

Some sweet photos here.

No words to explain the impact of @CoachGundy & @CowboyFB on our program. In the locker room after Saturday's game. Just no words. pic.twitter.com/CT3lIDaNg7

Around the League

The OU-Texas broadcast this year was the lowest-rated televised game on record. Down 44 percent (!) from last year. I don’t really understand that. [NewsOK]

The game for cornerbacks now is one-on-one, except the receivers have quarterbacks with uncanny accuracy, rules predisposed to penalize defenders and a culture that creates a feeding frenzy for long touchdowns. The dam is broken and the touchdowns are upon us. [NewsOK]

I think this is about what my B12 power rankings would look like right now. [LGG]

The Big 12’s last seven games in conference play have been decided by a touchdown or less, including two one-point outcomes. The Big 12’s 10.5 margin of victory in league games is the lowest among the peer conferences. [Big 12]

Baylor, still messy. [PFB]

Hey, OU is wearing Indiana’s uniforms this weekend.

Saturday, the Rough Riders are back!

Who is OSU targeting at defensive end? Good stuff here from KB. [PFB]

My kid has learned how to get out of his crib which means I'm picking up some @COOPAleWorks DNR on my way home from work today
