Oklahoma State's star running back, Ollie Gordon II, will not be suspended for his recent DUI arrest, according to coach Mike Gundy. Gundy stated that Gordon will still play for the team, with potential punishment being determined on the field by requiring him to carry the ball 50 times in the first game. Gordon apologized for his actions and faced questions about the incident at Big 12 media days. Despite the arrest, Gordon's Heisman Trophy chances remain intact, as he won the Doak Walker Award last season. Gordon's arrest in June resulted in a breath test showing a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. Coach Gundy expressed the importance of learning from mistakes and moving forward, hinting at ongoing discussions with Gordon regarding the seriousness of the situation. Oklahoma State's decision not to suspend Gordon has sparked controversy but could potentially benefit his future NFL prospects.
