🔼 Stack Em Up. When you pick up a dramatic win over a nationally-ranked opponent, awards tend to pile up.

The Orange and Black are experiencing that as not one, not two, but THREE Cowboys were honored this week for their performances in the 39-32 win over Kansas this past weekend.

Ollie Gordon II - The star RB not only was named the Big 12 Co-Offensive Player of the Week, but he was named the Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week.

Brennan Presley - The veteran wideout was one of three FBS players named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll after his big day against the Jayhawks. The Award honors the nation’s most versatile player. Excelling on offense and special teams Saturday, Presley touched the ball four different ways and scored twice, including the winning touchdown, in the Cowboys' come-from-behind win.

Alex Hale - Make it two for OSU’s veteran kicker as Hale was named a Lou Groza Award “Star of the Week” for a second straight week. The weekly honor is given to the top three kicker performances in the FBS. Hale, a senior from Point Frederick, New South Wales, Australia, nailed four field goals in the win, including two in the fourth quarter with a long of 42 yards that put the Cowboys up seven points with less than a minute remaining in the game.
