Oklahoma State Starting Left Guard Leaves Game With Injury Against West Virginia
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are having to play from behind against the West Virginia Mountaineers to start the second half as they're down 17-13. While the Cowboys did allow 17 points, it was the offensive missing opportunities that led to their deficit.
To make matters worse for the Pokes, on the second play of the opening drive in the second half, starting left guard Jason Brooks went down with a lower-body injury.
Brooks was helped off the field by two Oklahoma State staffers and was seen walking on the sideline with crutches. He wasn't putting any pressure on his right leg, according to Sellout Crowd's Ben Hutchens.
It's tough to see more injuries to the offensive line. Dalton Cooper just got healthy and was a full go on the offensive line, which allowed them to return to their original lineup up front. Now, a backup will enter the game and there may be some more shuffling.
In a game that has seen West Virginia all over Ollie Gordon, the offensive line will have to execute well and help the Cowboys move the ball more and more. Playing from behind, the offense has to find a way to execute for an entire drive.
