With the greatest running back to ever tote the rock on hand, Oklahoma State’s rushers turned in Oklahoma State’s best ground game performance in over a decade.
Earlier in the week, Mike Gundy recalled his tailback committee looking at Barry “like Santa Claus.” But when was asked after the game if Jaylen Warren played with an extra edge because the GOAT was on-hand, he was a bit bullish.
“Oh, you know, I mean, for the story I’d like to say yes, but Jaylen (Warren) likes to play,” said Gundy. “I’ll say yes for your story.”
Whether it was Barry, the Blackout or him being on the precipice of his first career 1,000-yard season (he came into the game with 928), Warren was a man possessed in the first half, punishing TCU’s front and paving the way for a blowout victory.
