STILLWATER -- In a scrimmage that paired teammate versus teammate and the first-team defense against the second-team offense, Oklahoma State didn’t reveal much of substance on Saturday.
But occasionally, the mentality of the defense Jim Knowles is trying to create at OSU flashed before the announced crowd of 20,000 in Boone Pickens Stadium.
Moments like this: On the first drive for the starters on defense, safety Kenneth Edison-McGruder leveled backup quarterback John Kolar. It probably wasn’t the most well-received play by the Oklahoma State coaching staff -- seeing as no one ever likes to see their quarterback get hit -- but it embodied the buzzword for Knowles’ defense this spring.
