LIVE BLOG: Oklahoma State Hosts BYU for Regular-Season Finale

Storylines galore.

Oklahoma State will host Big 12 newcomer BYU for the first time ever. It’s Senior Day (although, who can really tell what eligibility is anymore anyway). Oh yeah, and Ollie Gordon II is tied for the FBS rushing lead with a chance to not only move ahead, but to help his team add another game (and opportunity to pad his lead).

But all of those are all subplots. Here’s the story: Win, and the Cowboys are in. Lose, and the Sooners are.

To think about where the Cowboys were in August, how they stormed back with that five-game win streak just to fall on their faces in Orlando — and still have the opportunity to play in their second Big 12 championship game in three years? That’s nothing short of amazing.

A 1B storyline is that winning also boxes Oklahoma out of a Red River Rematch for the Big 12 title — what would be a black eye on the league in those teams’ final year. If the Cowboys get supplanted for the Sooners in Arlington, it takes a little edge off of that pronounced Bedlam-ending win in Stillwater.

That’s a lot to unspool, but you can be sure that OSU coaches and players are focusing on getting through the Cougars and onto Arlington.
