It has been written that Brandon Weeden may be among the top two most impactful players in Oklahoma State football history.
There’s plenty of historical evidence that Weeden’s two-year run as OSU’s quarterback has been the best at the school since Bob Fenimore led OSU to a 17-1 record in the mid-1940s.
So, watching Weeden in his last game will be an important moment for OSU coach Mike Gundy.
“For what he has meant to Oklahoma State football, not only as a player but as a great ambassador and as a leader for us, difficult to replace a young man and what he has accomplished at Oklahoma State,” said Gundy. “He’s going to leave here as the best quarterback in the history of the school.”
During the past seven years, Gundy has lifted the overall talent level at OSU.
As a result, he believes the Cowboys will not suffer a huge drop after Weeden heads to the NFL next year.
“Once he moves on, we’ll bring another one in and continue with what we have the last few years,” said Gundy.
Weeden’s era should be appreciated by OSU fans. He has not only been a tremendous player but a stabilizing force as the Cowboys elevated the program to new heights.
He has one last chance to shine on a big stage against the probable No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
If there was no other reason to watch the Fiesta, Weeden and Andrew Luck makes this must-watch television.
