OSU football: Mike Gundy, Cowboys sought a new opponent for Saturday after Baylor postponement

STILLWATER — Mike Gundy wanted his team on the football field this Saturday.

After Baylor had to postpone the originally scheduled game because of COVID-19 issues, Gundy’s Oklahoma State squad was left with a second consecutive open date this weekend.

So Gundy and OSU athletic director Mike Holder got on the phone.

“Coach Holder and I had discussed trying to find an opponent for this week, and we were unsuccessful,” Gundy said. “I’m not sure exactly how many coaches or organizations we were able to pursue, but we had those discussions based on, we’re trying to play as many games as possible while we’re healthy and take advantage of Saturdays.
