Oklahoma State injury report: Trey Rucker out

OSU will be without its leading tackler, safety Trey Rucker, who did not travel with the team to Provo, Utah, for Friday night’s game against BYU, per report.

Rucker is said to be dealing with a leg injury suffered against West Virginia, according to Robert Allen of PokesReport.com.

The Cowboys could have a couple of veterans back in the mix with the return of right tackle Jake Springfield and linebacker Justin Wright, though the involvement of either is unknown.

Backup quarterback Zane Flores also did not travel to Provo, following midweek surgery on his lower leg that will keep him out for the season.

BYU 30, Oklahoma State 16: The Cowboys show promise, but ultimately can’t solve their defensive issues as BYU’s ball-control game plan creates an effective and efficient run game. Ollie Gordon II gets loose for a couple big runs, but not enough to turn the tide.
