On the heels of three straight losses, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy took another hit during the Cowboys’ bye week, suffering an unusual eye injury that forced him to move his weekly, in-person news conference to Zoom on Monday morning.
“Well, I had a little run-in with my cattle over the weekend,” Gundy told reporters. “I guess they’ve been watching us play and I got headbutted. So I’ve got a bad eye that I didn’t think would be particularly enjoyable for people when they were looking at my pretty face in a live interview.
“More importantly, it’s full of blood, and I get dizzy. So it’s not easy to be upright and be in a normal function. But other than that, I’m doing great.”
Gundy, in his 20th season in charge of Oklahoma State, is expected to coach the Cowboys when they visit No. 13 BYU on Friday. However, further details on the injury and how they might impact Gundy in his duties for the 9:15 p.m. ET
