Oklahoma State has been named as the Reveal Suits National Team of the Week, announced the Football Writers Association of America.
The Cowboys’ victory over the Longhorns was the Cowboys' fourth straight win against opponents ranked in the top 25 of the AP Poll and marked coach Mike Gundy's seventh career triumph over an AP top-10 opponent.
It is the third time that the Cowboys (5-3; 2-3 Big 12) have earned the honor. OSU previously was recognized on the weekend of Oct. 11, 2008 (def. No. 3 Missouri, 28-23) and the weekend of Nov. 23, 2013 (def. No. 3 Baylor, 49-17).
Quarterback Taylor Cornelius starred Saturday against Texas, completing 23 of his 34 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns. Cornelius also scored two touchdowns on the ground, including a 10-yard scamper that sealed the Cowboys’ victory.
The fifth-year senior was recognized as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, a Manning Award Star of the Week and was named to the Davey O’Brien “Great 8” list for his performance in the game.
OSU punter Zach Sinor was also recognized by the Big 12, as he shared Special Teams Player of the Week honors with Kansas’ Gabriel Rui. Sinor punted four times against Texas, averaging 45.0 yards per kick. His 57-yard effort in the fourth quarter flipped the field in favor of the Cowboys and pinned the Longhorns at their own 2-yard line.
Oklahoma State will look to build off its highest ranked win since 2015 when the Cowboys travel to Waco, Texas, for a Saturday showdown with Baylor. Kickoff at McLane Stadium is set for 11 a.m. on Fox Sports 1.
