Oklahoma State is enjoying a second-straight open week on its football schedule after Baylor, its original Oct. 17 opponent, was forced to postpone and reschedule due to an ongoing Covid-19 outbreak within its football program. But Mike Gundy said this week that OSU, for its part, nonetheless made an effort to be on the field this weekend — against another team.
In his weekly roundup interview with Dave Hunziker, Gundy revealed that after the Baylor game fell through, OSU athletic director Mike Holder did his best to try and “pick up an opponent” to fill the unexpected bye week so the Cowboys wouldn’t be off for two consecutive weekends, to no avail.
