MANHATTAN Ks. – Oklahoma State failed to put points on the board as the Pokes fell to Kansas State, 48-0.
Cowboy head coach Mike Gundy met with the media following the game to discuss the game on both sides of the ball.
"OK, obviously there's not a lot that I need to say we,” said Gundy. “We got our butts kicked. I told the team I've had my butt kick before. I didn't do a good job this week. I was concerned about a variety of things this week. We didn't practice like we normally practice and that's my fault. And that's what you get. I apologized to the team. I didn't handle our team very well this week, and I'm not taking anything away from Kansas State. They're a good team and they played really well. I don't know, you'd have to ask, coach. I don't know if they could have played a better game than they played today. And then we weren't prepared. We just weren't. We weren't very physical upfront. We couldn't do much to balance ourselves offensively. We just, we weren't prepared and it's really pretty simple. And I'll take responsibility for that. I learned a good lesson. I tried to do a couple things different and obviously I'm not gonna do that again. So, I told the guys, you know, sometimes that's the way life is. Not quite as fun as it was last week. But, as I say every Saturday, 'You're gonna play again about this time next week.' So, guys need to recover, get home, come back to work tomorrow, get ready to go. We don't have any time to waste. We have to identify what happened in certain instances and come up with solutions and plans and put them in place and move forward. And I'm repeating myself now, but I've told the guys, I've had my butt kicked before. Not any fun, but we know how to fight back, and we will. Guys need to stick together and get ready tomorrow. Six days to prepare for the next game."
