On the heels of three straight losses, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy took another hit during the Cowboys' bye week, suffering an unusual eye injury that forced him to move his weekly, in-person press conference to Zoom Monday morning.

"Well, I had a little run-in with my cattle over the weekend," Gundy told reporters.

"I guess they've been watching us play and I got headbutted.

So I've got a bad eye that I didn't think would be particularly enjoyable for people when they were looking at my pretty face in a live interview.

However, further details on the injury and how they might impact Gundy in his duties for the 9:15 p.m.

"It should get better every day," Gundy said.

"Hopefully it'll get a little better.

But I'm fine.

I'm working the same hours.

I mean, it's no big deal.

I just didn't think it was very appealing." Gundy and the Cowboys head to unbeaten BYU in Week 8 reeling from three straight losses that have taken the air out of the Big 12 and College Football Playoff aspirations Oklahoma State carried into the regular season.

After a 3-0 start this fall, the Cowboys now sit at 3-3 following consecutive defeats to Utah, Kansas State and West Virginia and 0-3 in conference play for the first time since 2005.
