With return of O-line, Ollie Gordon, Cowboys setting higher bar for rushing game

Coming off a prolific sophomore season, Oklahoma State star running back Ollie Gordon II has a couple of goals he’s looking to reach in 2024.

“I’m gonna average 6.5 yards (per carry),” Gordon said Tuesday after OSU's first spring practice. “And as a team, we got to go back to the Big 12 (Championship) and actually take it this time.”

Gordon burst onto the scene in 2023 and has become the face of OSU. He led the country in rushing yards, finished seventh on the Heisman Trophy ballot and took home the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s best tailback.
