What to make of the 2023 Oklahoma State Cowboys? Just a few weeks ago it looked like the Mike Gundy era was on its last legs. After injuries and QB uncertainty derailed last year, which ended in a 6-6 regular season, it was generally assumed that OSU would be back to normal this year. Some coaching staff changes had taken place, but this team went 66-25 from 2015 to 2022. Gundy never got them to the playoffs, but they were also one of the toughest tests in the Big 12 each year.
That being the case, it was a bit of a surprise when the Cowboys looked so lost out of the gate in 2023.
