Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon was helped off the field in the third quarter of Friday night’s game against BYU. He went down with an injury with less than three minutes to go in the quarter after appearing to aggravate an injury from earlier in the night.

Gordon took a two-yard carry with 3:03 left in the game and stayed on the turf afterward. The trainers came out to check on him and he eventually walked off – albeit gingerly – with help from the staff to the sidelines.

Gordon was in the midst of a monster night at the time of his injury. He took 13 carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns while adding two receptions for 22 yards and a touchdown in the passing game. Oklahoma State trailed 28-21 heading into the fourth quarter, but an Alan Bowman receiving touchdown on a trick play tied things up quickly. Gordon later returned with 9:33 to play.

The reigning Doak Walker Award winner as the nation’s top running back, Ollie Gordon has had an up-and-down go so far as defenses key in on him. He entered Friday’s game averaging 64 yards per game, which is a stark contrast to the 123.7 yards he averaged last season.

It was the latest notable injury for the Cowboys offense. Quarterback Garret Rangel, who got the start in place of Bowman after Mike Gundy benched him, left in the second quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. He headed back to the locker room as the trainers were holding his left arm, according to ESPN’s Paul Carcaterra, and Bowman came into the game.

“Garret Rangel in a lot of pain,” Carcaterra said on the ESPN broadcast. “I was walking towards the tunnel where Oklahoma State’s locker room is and trainers were having to hold that left arm to support the shoulder, it seemed. He was walking very gingerly.”

Oklahoma State is trying to turn things around after a rough start to Big 12 play. The Cowboys are off to an 0-3 start in conference action and are looking to play spoiler against No. 13 BYU, which entered Friday night with a 6-0 record.
