Just another classic moment in Mike Gundy history!
Head coach Mike Gundy and his Oklahoma State Cowboys took out the Arkansas Razorbacks in an overtime clash Saturday, and though the campaign is young, you can’t help but to feel that the contest will go down as one of the best in 2024.
Despite their victory, however, Gundy wasn’t necessarily happy about it, and that’s because of the performance of his defense. In a 39-31 victory, the D allowed a whopping 416 passing yards to be thrown on them by Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green. On top of that, the Cowboys also allowed 232 rushing yards. That’s 648 yards of total offense that Oklahoma State allowed! (RELATED: ‘Take An Extra Mental Day’: Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders Brutally Roasted After Basic Tweet Blows Up In His Face)
So then we got to Monday, and during the press conference, there was a conversation that sparked up about whether or not the defense was in form. (Spoiler alert: It wasn’t) And boy oh boy, did we get the goods.
A member of the media tried to make the implication to Gundy that the Cowboys defense wasn’t that much in the negative following a review of game footage, but uh … well … Gundy wasn’t trying to hear it. And he kept it a complete bean about how bad his team was.
“They were running wide open. You’re wanting to make it look better, and honestly they were running wide open … We’re honest here. There’s no reason anyone should come to these press conferences if we’re going to bullsh*t each other,” said Gundy.
