Oklahoma State football: OSU's Keyes brings attitude to O-line

STILLWATER — Vincent Taylor recognizes the nasty in offensive lineman Marcus Keyes.

And Taylor, who values the same “quality” in himself, means it fully as a compliment.

“He is nasty, whether it's dripping with sweat or the way he plays,” said the Cowboys defensive tackle.

Oklahoma State, still facing questions about its offensive line less than a week away from the season opener, needs some nasty up front following a 2015 season of struggle running the ball.

The Cowboys were more than adequate pass blocking, often a product of good technique. Run blocking, however, requires some attitude.
