OSU football: Cowboys pitted against a familiar name in Liberty Bowl

STILLWATER — For the second straight year, Oklahoma State's bowl opponent is led by an Oklahoma-born coaching talent.

The Cowboys are headed to the Liberty Bowl where they'll face former Big 12 rival Missouri at 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 31 in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Tigers are coached by former Ada football star Barry Odom, who comes from a family OSU's Mike Gundy knows well.

After all, he recruited Odom's nephew, Baron, to Stillwater, where he is a redshirt freshman Cowboy back. But Gundy has only gotten to know Barry Odom from a distance.

“He's done a lot of things and worked his way up,” Gundy said.
