Mike Gundy’s best football teams have been built from the interior out. The 2011 team had Levy Adcock and Lane Taylor helping plow open holes up front. The 2009 team had Adcock, Taylor and Russell Okung. And while 2021 likely doesn’t have those types of talents in the trenches, the outlook is bright.
Let’s get to the OL preview as we continue our position-by-position preview series ahead of fall camp.
Returning starters: Josh Sills, Hunter Anthony, Cole Birmingham
Sills is the headline name here. He started 11 games last season which was the exception in 2020, with injuries piling up across the front line.
