Daily Bullets (October 4)

Wrapping up K-State

Good Q&A here with OSU’s leading tackler from Saturday. “There’s not a better high than being out there in front of Boone Pickens Stadium.” (NewsOK)

The photo album here is pretty great. (okstate)

Turns out, Spencer didn’t eat a GA. He probably just said a few cuss words and Kody Cook remembered he was Kody Cook. (NewsOK)

The Cowboys continued to win in close, ugly fashion, this time at home against a Kansas State team that lost its starting quarterback — the one that started the season as a backup — for much of the game. But hey, 5-0 is 5-0 is 5-0. (CBS)

Bill Hancock was in the house on Saturday. (Tulsa World)

OSU improved to 42-5 in their last 47 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010. (okstate)

Good stuff here from Mark Cooper on how OSU’s defense put the clamps down in the second half. Great quote from Chad Whitener: “We played Jerrod Heard. He can move. He can boogie a little bit. Once we got a feel for (Cook), we did our jobs and everybody had their assignments straight.” (Tulsa World)

Ben Grogan is cash

Jenni Carlson wrote this on Saturday morning (and she’s not wrong): If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Grogan in his two-plus years as the Cowboy kicker, it’s this — the yips are always lurking. (NewsOK)

Then she wrote this on how money Grogan has been on game-winners the last two weeks. I could listen to Gundy talk about kickers forever. (NewsOK)

And of course, now everybody loves Grogan. (PFB)

That phantom first down

Uhhhh … yikes. This was not a first down and yet it was given to OSU late in the first half. And it led to a TD. (PFB)

Bill Snyder says he doesn’t remember it, will have five Big 12 officials fired by Tuesday morning probably. (ESPN)

Around the country

Texas got destroyed by the refs TCU on Saturday. (CBS)

And Gary Patterson called his shot. (LGG)

And the Rangers sent out a “fire Charlie” tweet. Like, the Texas Rangers. (Yahoo)

And a Texas player was tweeting at halftime (this game was amazing, clearly). (Yahoo)

Leonard Fournette is doing Barry Sanders stuff in Baton Rouge. (Big Lead)

Ole Miss, cya. (CBS)

This Dabo rant and cut away might have been my favorite part of Saturday’s games. (Big Lead)
