STILLWATER — Taylor Cornelius will play against the team he grew up rooting for Saturday.
Cornelius is from Bushland, Texas, which is about a two hour drive down I-27 from Lubbock. Cornelius said Tech offered him a spot as a walk-on, but by that time he had already built a relationship with Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and people in Stillwater.
Cornelius attended camps in Lubbock. He said he went to a few when Tommy Tuberville was the coach and one after Kliff Kingsbury took over.
At his weekly news conference Tuesday, Kingsbury said he remembered the kid from Bushland.
