Why It’s No Surprise that Gunnar Gundy Starts the Season as Spencer Sanders’ Backup

STILLWATER — When the first Oklahoma State two-deep of the year dropped Thursday, Gunnar Gundy and Garret Rangel shared an “OR” as Spencer Sanders’ backup, but at his media luncheon, Mike Gundy set the record straight.

When asked who would go in if Sanders’ helmet came off in the first drive, forcing him to spend at least a play on the sideline, Mike Gundy responded:

“Gunnar. He’s up next.”

This was the talk of Twitter after Gundy’s nearly 45-minute news conference, but it probably shouldn’t have been. It’s news because it’s involves two big sticking points — quarterback and the coach’s son.
