OSU played three QBs, but Gunnar Gundy lifted OSU over Central Arkansas

Mike Gundy said three quarterbacks would play in Oklahoma State’s 2023 season opener.

Many anticipated two. But the OSU coach insisted in the coming weeks it was three.

Garret Rangel, a returning redshirt freshman. Alan Bowman, a transfer from Michigan and former three-year starter at Texas Tech. But the unforeseen name in the midst of the competition ended as the hero in OSU’s 27-13 season-opening win over Central Arkansas.

Gunnar Gundy.

Prior to Saturday’s game, Mike and his coaching staff informed the three they would be playing in thirds. It wasn’t clear if that meant quarter-by-quarter or evenly divided playing time.
