@anthonyVslater 1:03 p.m. Gundy on Kansas: We're not far enough along or mature enough at key positions to overlook anyone.

@anthonyVslater 1:04 p.m. Gundy says perfect situation would be bye week after 4th or 5th week, then again after 8th or 9th.

@anthonyVslater 1:05 p.m. Gundy said a one loss or two loss team should win this league: "That provides for an exciting two months coming up."

@jjhelsley 1:05 p.m. Gundy: I think a two-loss team can win the Big 12.

@anthonyVslater 1:06 p.m. Gundy: The critical areas in our conference are third downs, limiting critical plays and taking care of the football. That's who wins.

@jjhelsley 1:07 p.m. Gundy acknowledges third -down issues. Now, can the Cowboys do something about them? Biggest question going forward. #okstate

@anthonyVslater 1:08 p.m. Gundy asked about Wes Lunt: "We're not going to talk about injuries or health issues on anyone on this team."

@ginamizell 1:09 p.m. Gundy on Lunt's recovery: "He's out there with us. He's certainly day-to-day." Says he'll make final decision who goes on Saturday #okstate

@anthonyVslater 1:09 p.m. Gundy said Wes Lunt is in a race with Kendall Hunter for who talks the least during their career.

@ginamizell 1:10 p.m. Gundy said he felt like Lunt studied Texas tape like he was going to play #okstate
