Last Saturday night, with the whole world (that he lives in) watching, Mike Gundy made the call to go for it on fourth and 12. It wasn’t exactly the act of a wild, mulleted riverboat gambler. It wasn’t really a decision at all. The Cowboys were down 7 in Norman to the Sooners with 1:18 remaining.
But it was the second straight week that Oklahoma State faced a fourth-down play to either seal a game or take the lead in the waning moments. The immediate result was favorable this time around, but neither ultimate goal was met.
One week earlier, Mike Gundy put the ball in the hands of his trusted fifth-year senior Taylor Cornelius with the game on the line.
