Weekend Bullets

Welcome to a special weekend edition of the Bullets where I roundup game reaction stories, quotes, and tweets. I’m going to try doing this this year because it feels like the Monday Bullets are just insanely long if I don’t and I really don’t want any of you to get fired.

Mississippi St. game

Must read on the QB situation from Berry. I didn’t realize Yurcich was so intent on running the ball from QB. (NewsOK)

It’s clear Oklahoma State is going to contend for the national championship. What?! (Scout)

Game highlights. (ESPN)

Gundy on Clint Chelf. (NewsOK)

My thoughts on Walsh being the starter. (PFB)

OSU athletic dept. remains obsessed with GIFs and this one of Glenn Spencer is crazy. (Tumblr)

Hah, a little edit to that record agains SEC teams stat. (okstate)

I got a few tweets making fun of me for my Texas pick after they went down 7-0. I still feel good about it. (Big 12 Sports)

Here’s Boone unhinged. We could have saved Wes Lunt. (NewsOK)

Jake Trotter agrees with my 10 thoughts: OSU has learned to play other styles. (ESPN)

Photos from the game. I loved Nos. 18, 20, 24, 25, and 45. (NewsOK)

More good photos here. (Tulsa World)

I still would have voted Kip Smith as player of the game. (Rivals)

10 thoughts on the game. (PFB)

Great work here on the announcing crew. They said some pretty weird stuff. (NewsOK)

Haha, Mississippi St. fans are not big on the diamond formation. (Cowbell Tolls)

It really did feel like a weird game. How about Gundy’s comment about having to score every series here? (NewsOK)

I agree with this: we didn’t really see that (type of) game coming. (CRFF)

Colton Chelf ended up on Deadspin. (Deadspin)

Walsh’s last quote here is interesting and makes me really believe Gundy was going to go with Walsh all along. (Scout)

Glenn Spencer sounds more relieved than anything. (NewsOK)

New Big 12 bowl lineup. Bye, Cotton. (Big 12 Sports)

The lesson: if you schedule FCS teams make sure they are awful. (CBS Sports)

Feels like we’re making too much of this “we beat an SEC team!” thing, no? Mississippi State is just a below-average team that happens to play in a conference with Alabama and Florida… (NewsOK)

Nice.

Our expectations are crazy.

Even in a lackluster performance the #okstate offense still had over 430 yards of offense.

Hideous.

What a performance by the #OKstate defense. Here's Mississippi State's drive chart: pic.twitter.com/lh82LuqsVE

Haha.

Some #okstate fans are trying to chant "Big 12! Big 12! Big 12!" It's not as easy to say as SEC.

This is true.

The best way I can describe #okstate's opener is with a golf reference… The scorecard doesn't have pictures. #grinditout

Pretty weird.

Amazing stat: Both #OKState and Mississippi State ran 73 offensive plays. Would've guessed that was heavily in OSU's favor.

Wow.

When you win you get a fathead on your plane. #okstate @OSUAthletics pic.twitter.com/cNwTwpN1pR
