Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State are off to an undefeated start

Mike Gundy has led the Oklahoma State Cowboys off to a 2-0 start in the ongoing season.

The Cowboys rallied to beat Arkansas in double overtime in Week 2 at home. Oklahoma State has the third-best odds of winning the Big 12, at +600, which implies a 14.3% chance of winning the conference.

Gundy and the Cowboys will go on the road to play Tulsa in Week 3. Oklahoma State is a sizeable -18 favorite to defeat Tulsa after an OT win over Arkansas in Week 2.

Despite the Cowboys winning their last game, Gundy was frustrated with himself, as he says he got outcoached.

“The majority of the problems was we got outcoached,” Gundy said, via The Oklahoman. “Then our players were put in the wrong positions. (Arkansas players) were running wide open. The good news is this: it’s fixable. If players don't have schemes that give them an equal opportunity or a better opportunity than the opponent, you’re exposed.”

After their game against Tulsa, Oklahoma State will host Utah in Week 4 in a pivotal game for the Big 12.
