The Cowboys have had a high-powered offense throughout the Mike Gundy era.
Oklahoma State’s season opener is less than 60 days away, but a 60-point game has eluded the team in recent years.
Throughout the Mike Gundy era, OSU has been known for its high-powered offenses that put up a lot of points without taking much time. However, the Cowboys’ offenses have not been among the best in the country in the past few seasons. Since offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich left at the end of the 2018 season, OSU has not had a team rank in the top 35 in points per game. From 2010-18, OSU averaged at least 38 points in all but one season.
Of course, that included some high-scoring games from the Cowboys. With the 2024 season less than 60 days away, here’s a look at the Cowboys’ recent 60-point outings:After a 12-win season, the Cowboys got off to a hot start in 2022. In their third-straight win, OSU dominated an FCS team 63-7. Despite having 538 yards of total offense, no Cowboy reached 100 yards rushing or receiving. A 53-yard touchdown by Ollie Gordon in the fourth quarter pushed the Cowboys past the 60-point mark.
Before moving on, the Cowboys’ 2017 team was determined not to reach 60 points. In Mason Rudolph and James Washington’s final campaign, OSU had three 59-point games and a 58-point game but never reached the 60-point mark.A week before disaster struck against Central Michigan, the Cowboys dominated their FCS opponent 61-7. OSU managed to have its highest-scoring game of the season despite not reaching 400 yards.
