FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- Mike Gundy simply shrugged.
Gundy, the Oklahoma State football coach, didn’t shield himself with imaginary explanations in the postgame press conference. He didn’t pretend to have a magical solution.
Gundy sat in front of a gray makeshift OSU backdrop, and a larger purple Texas Christian University backdrop loomed behind it. The Horned Frogs, though they entered the matchup with a losing record, spoiled the Cowboys’ last regular-season game. TCU gained bowl eligibility with a 31-24 victory against OSU on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
The Cowboys’ struggles this season have baffled him.
