🔼 Stackin’ Em Up. Our guy Ollie is going to need a bigger mantle.

Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Doak Walker Running Back of the Week.

OG2 is stacking them up after these last two weeks.

The sophomore standout rushed for 282 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries (9.7 yards per carry) in the road win. The performance marked the most rushing yards for an FBS player in a game this season.

Three of his touchdowns came in the fourth quarter, coming on 16-, 46- and 53-yard rushes. Gordon had five runs that gained more than 25 yards, with his longest carries on the day going for 53, 46, 34, 32, and 27 yards.

🔼 World Series Bound. 10 years in to his MLB career, former Cowboy Andrew Heaney is headed to the biggest stage of them all.

Heaney and his Texas Rangers teammates earned a spot in the 2023 World Series with a defeat of the reigning World Series Champion, Houston Astros, in a seven-game series in the American League Championship Series.

The southpaw appeared in two games in the ALCS, tossing 1.2 innings and has now appeared in three games total during the Rangers’ current playoff run, totaling 5.1 innings of work.

🔼 Now That’s How You Finish. Talk about saving their best for last.

The OSU Cowgirls golf squad posted a final round of 15-under in the last round of their fall season this week at the Jim West Challenge in San Marcos, Texas.

The Orange and Black were the biggest riser on Monday, jumping four teams to finish with a 54-hole score of 18-under 846. Entering the day in a three-way tie for first, SMU took home the Jim West Challenge with an overall 38-under 826 performance, highlighted by a 23-under round-three score.
