The loss for Oklahoma State dropped cowboys to 1-2. Oklahoma State beat UT Martin 27-7 in his first game, but was torn by Oregon last week when the No. 6 team in the country beat them, 69-3.
The 58-year-old head coach praised the “amazing” fans after the game despite the calls for his job.
“They were amazing tonight, they really were,” Gundy said via the New York Post. “The stadium was full and they were fired up and they were amazing.”

Gundy was asked what his message would be for fans who want him fired right away.
“These are not decisions I make,” Gundy said. “My decision is to do exactly what I mentioned earlier, and get these guys and continue to move on and go on the road and that’s what you do.”

During 21 years and 260 matches in Oklahoma State, Gundy has a record of 170-90. However, the team had its worst season in the Gundy era last season as they went 3-9.
Oklahoma State will try to turn it around when playing Baylor Bears, which is currently 2-1, next week at home.
