MEMPHIS, Tenn. – It’s pretty common for Oklahoma State football head coach Mike Gundy to be the center of attention.
But as they announced the MVP of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl after OSU’s 38-33 defeat of the No. 24-ranked Missouri Tigers Monday, Gundy helped his quarterback Taylor Cornelius onto the stage and took a step back.
He was giving his quarterback the spotlight on centerstage at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, something Cornelius, a Bushland, Texas, native deserved.
Cornelius became somewhat of a scapegoat for Oklahoma State supporters this season. Cries were made for either Dru Brown or Spencer Sanders to take his place.
