Oklahoma State Athlete Issues Public Apology After Costly Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty Contributes to Iowa State Loss

With 53 seconds left in Ames, Wyatt Young caught a 7-yard touchdown pass that put Oklahoma State up 49-48 over Iowa State. A flag came out right after the score, and within a minute, the Cowboys had gone from the verge of a comeback win to a 51-49 loss on a walk-off field goal. Young now knows how much that penalty cost his team, and he has said so publicly. “I apologize to all Cowboy football supporters, my teammates, and coaches for the lack of discipline and selfishness I displayed today,” Young wrote on X .
