Not sure this makes much sense. You either need to be all in or all out. https://t.co/UAjx5kQrkz

Wallace had 6 catches for 45 yards in OSU’s first half. The wide receiver has torn his ACL twice and may have decided on a half-time opt-out after seeing Miami QB D’Eriq King’s injury. Mike Gundy is sure to be asked to explain the situation after the game.
Currently, Oklahoma State leads Miami 37-26 in the fourth quarter.
