STILLWATER, Okla. — The Big 12 Conference released its season awards on Thursday, with the No. 5 Oklahoma State Cowboys taking home several honors.

The awards, including Coach of the Year, are voted on by the league's 10 coaches who aren't allowed to vote for their own players.

OSU head coach Mike Gundy won Coach of the Year for the second time in his 17-year tenure at OSU (2010).

Gundy's Cowboys finished the regular season with an 11-1 record and will play for the conference championship on Saturday with a chance at a College Football Playoff on the line.
