Oklahoma State returns arguably the best quarterback-to-receiver combination in the Big 12, the league’s most experienced offensive line, and welcomes its most intriguing transfer. As usual, the Cowboys feature plenty of style in Mike Gundy’s 12th season. Does the mullet-sporting coach, though, possess the substance on his roster to push this group into the top tier of the Big 12 after a 10-0 start turned sour late last year?
Our preseason look at Oklahoma State:
Key losses: QB JW Walsh, WR David Glidden, OG Paul Lewis, DE Emmanuel Ogbah, DE Jimmy Bean, LB Seth Jacobs, CB Kevin Peterson, CB Michael Hunter, CB Miketavius Jones
Preseason storyline: The Cowboys lose a lot defensively, in particular at the pass-rushing spots and cornerback.
