Star running back Ollie Gordon II had to be helped off the field against the No. 13 Cougars.
Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State’s star running back, left the team’s bout against No. 13 BYU in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury.
Prior to his exit, Gordon had been a man possessed, amassing 100 yards on the ground on just 13 carries. He scored three first-half touchdowns to help the Pokes to a 21-14 halftime lead. BYU eventually scored 14 unanswered before Gordon’s exit. Earlier in the game, Gordon was tackled for a loss and came up very slowly. When tackled deep into the third quarter, Gordon remained down for awhile, eventually being helped up and off the field by the team’s medical staff.
Down 31-7 against West Virginia earlier in the season, Gordon exited the game due to injury then, too. ESPN analyst Kirk Morrison speculated then it might be Gordon’s last snaps with the team due to potential NFL success. “I think for me, if I’m Ollie Gordon, I’m putting myself in his shoes, this is not him, this is me. I’ve probably played my last play at Oklahoma State,”Morrison said. “His ultimate goal is to get to the National Football League, he’s won a DOAK Walker, he’s won the Oftensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 last year. He wants to be in the National Football League, right now, my health is my concern. I gotta look out for Ollie, and that may be his last play at Oklahoma State.
