Oklahoma State and Stanford Show How Far They Have Come
In his corner on the far right side of the Stanford sideline, kicker Jordan Williamson ran through the routine at least a half-dozen times in the moments before he took the field. Two steps back.

That question: Does Oklahoma State deserve a shot at LSU and the national title?
