    Most observers came to Oklahoma State's spring football finale looking for a glimpse into the quarterback race, but what they got instead was an introduction to unheralded wide receiver Charlie Moore, who caught nine passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns and a strong showing from the Cowboy defense.

    OSU divided its roster into two teams - one wearing Orange jerseys and one wearing Gray jerseys. The Orange team jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead before coach Mike Gundy reversed the score at intermission. The Orange team outscored the Gray team, 21-7 in the second half, but because of the flipped score at halftime, the Gray team was credited with a 31-21 victory.

    Oklahoma State Featured on SI.com

    Mike Gundy and his family spent Oklahoma State's spring break skiing in Crested Butte, Colo., a popular destination for many in Big 12 country. They'd been several times before, but this year they noticed something different: more skiers in Oklahoma State hats and T-shirts.

    On the heels of an unprecedented 12-1 season and the Cowboys' first outright conference championship since 1948, it's suddenly cool to cheer for this school.

    "We've run the race forever around here, and we finally finished first," said Gundy. "It's changed the perception of the way people see us."
