Record Book Look: The Five Longest Plays from Scrimmage in OSU History

There isn’t a much for exciting time in football than one person beaming down the field with a helpless defense in pursuit.

Oklahoma State has had a fair share of big plays in its history, including two on this list in the past two seasons. Here are the longest plays from scrimmage in OSU history.

1. Ed Gallagher at Kansas State in 1908 — 99 yards

Yes, that Ed Gallagher, the Gallagher part in the Gallagher-Iba Arena, the would-be wrestling coach that led the school to 11 national championships.

In the seventh season of the school’s football program, Gallagher ran the full length of the field in Manhattan in a game Oklahoma A&M would go onto lose 40-10.
