Oklahoma Football Coach Explains Nasty Eye Injury: 'I Got Head-Butted' by a Cow

Oklahoma State's football coach has revealed how he suffered a nasty eye injury over the weekend.

Coach Mike Gundy told reporters Monday over a Zoom conference with his camera off that the incident with the cow left his eye "full of blood", according to Sports Illustrated.

"Well, I had a little run-in with my cattle over the weekend," Gundy said at the press conference. "I guess they've been watching us play and I got head-butted. So I've got a bad eye that I didn't think would be particularly enjoyable for people when they were looking at my pretty face in a live interview. More importantly, it's full of blood, and I get dizzy. So it's not easy to be upright and be in a normal function. But other than that, I'm doing great."

The injury happened during the Oklahoma State Cowboys' bye week following three losses in a row, as reported by ESPN.

Gundy did not expand further on the injury, and it is unknown if it will impact his abilities to coach as the team prepares to take on Brigham Young University.

"It should get better every day," Gundy told reporters. "Hopefully it'll get a little better. But I'm fine. I'm working the same hours. I mean, it's no big deal. I just didn't think it was very appealing."
