On the heels of three straight losses, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy took another hit during the Cowboys’ bye week, suffering an unusual eye injury that forced him to move his weekly, in-person press conference to Zoom Monday morning.

“Well, I had a little run-in with my cattle over the weekend,” Gundy told reporters. “I guess they’ve been watching us play and I got headbutted. So I’ve got a bad eye that I didn’t think would be particularly enjoyable for people when they were looking at my pretty face in a live interview.

“More importantly, it’s full of blood, and I get dizzy. So it’s not easy to be upright and be in a normal function. But other than that, I’m doing great.”

Gundy, in his 20th season in charge of Oklahoma State, is expected to coach the Cowboys when they visit No. 13 BYU on Saturday. However, further details on the injury and how they might impact Gundy in his duties for the 9:15 p.m. ET kickoff in Provo, Utah, are not yet clear.

“It should get better every day,” Gundy said. “Hopefully it’ll get a little better. But I’m fine. I’m working the same hours. I mean, it’s no big deal. I just didn’t think it was very appealing.”

Gundy and the Cowboys head to unbeaten BYU in Week 8 reeling from three straight losses that have taken the air out of the Big 12 and College Football Playoff aspirations Oklahoma State carried into the regular season.

After a 3-0 start this fall, the Cowboys now sit at 3-3 following consecutive defeats to Utah, Kansas State and West Virginia and 0-3 in conference play for the first time since 2005.

Oklahoma State opened as a nine-point road underdog at BYU.

To those who come after Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, beware — he won’t go easy on you, especially if it has to do with his Oklahoma Sooners.

Mayfield won a Heisman Trophy during his time with the Oklahoma Sooners from 2014-17, and although he hasn’t played for the Sooners since 2017, his name came up again during the team’s famed Red River Rivalry against Texas. Texas, the No. 1 team in the nation, shellacked Oklahoma 34-3, and afterward, Longhorns players planted a flag in the middle of the field through a Baker Mayfield Sooners jersey, referencing his own midfield flag-plant vs. Ohio State years ago.

It was very strange that Mayfield caught some strays on Saturday despite not playing college football for seven years, so naturally, he was asked about this. And naturally, he had a great response to Texas’ stunt.

“Just a kid from Austin, Texas, that went to Oklahoma, won his last two Red River games and being rent-free in their heads for almost a decade now,” Mayfield told media after Tampa Bay’s win over New Orleans. “So, yeah, it’s a good feeling.”

It was the second good feeling Mayfield had that day after beating the New Orleans Saints on the road to move to 4-2. Mayfield leads the NFL in touchdowns, and he’s been certainly channeling his Oklahoma self as the Bucs roll on with a winning record.
