Oklahoma State, Missouri try to get on track in conference

STILLWATER, Okla. -- After his first loss as Oklahoma State's coach, Mike Gundy is getting plenty of input on how to make the Cowboys' no-huddle offense more effective.

Two days after Oklahoma State's 34-0 loss to Colorado, the first-year coach had already received 50 e-mails from fans.

"People are saying the offense is no good, you need to huddle up," Gundy said. "I read my e-mails. I read them not because I want to fire back and say, 'You are wrong.' I read them because I want information. Any information I can get is good information.

"My responsibility is to weed out those people who are clueless and what information can actually help me," he added.

The Cowboys (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) average just 14.5 points per game but are confident heading into today's game against Missouri (2-2, 0-1 Big 12), which features the worst defense in the Big 12 at 33.5 points per game.

Missouri is coming off a 51-20 to No. 2 Texas last week.

"We understand that they lost a game; we both lost one and obviously, we both want one back and that's natural as competitors," Tigers coach Gary Pinkel said.

Missouri has won the last three meetings in Stillwater.
