Next, Oklahoma State visits Texas Scottish Rite Hospital to bring a little cheer to some kids who need it. Then it's Ole Miss' turn in the media spotlight with a press conference for the defense and coordinator Tyrone Nix.

Oklahoma State gets use of Cowboys Stadium for practice this afternoon. Meanwhile, Ole Miss players visit Children's Medical Center to brighten the day of more kids who are going through a tough time.
