The Cowboys Can’t Beat Themselves with Head-Scratching Penalties in 2019

They say the devil is in the details, and that is certainly true when it comes to football.

One missed tackle can make the difference in the result of an annual rivalry game and preclude a team from a conference title. One missed call by an official can rewrite Super Bowl history, or at least its participants. My apologies to New Orleans fans, and specifically Dustin Ragusa, for opening a somewhat fresh wound.

Unfortunately for Oklahoma State fans, an attention to the details seemed to be missing from Mike Gundy’s latest football team.

Tied for 91st in penalties per game and tied for 115th in penalty yardage per game, OSU’s 2018 squad totaled of 917 lost transgression yards, just 14 shy of the school record set in 2002.
