Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II recently opened up about his DUI arrest, where he recorded a .11 blood alcohol sample. Head coach Mike Gundy made a controversial comment, initially stating Gordon would not be suspended and would play this season, suggesting that making him carry the ball 50 times in the first game would be punishment enough. Gundy later clarified his comments, explaining he wanted to do what was best for Gordon. The coach's statement that he had driven intoxicated multiple times raised eyebrows. Gordon was pulled over for speeding and had empty bottles of alcohol in his vehicle during the arrest. Gordon released a statement apologizing for his actions. Gundy and Gordon are scheduled to meet after media days. Despite Gordon's impressive performance last season, Gundy emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the need to learn from it.
