Oklahoma State has one of its oldest returning rosters this season, and at the forefront is seventh-year quarterback Alan Bowman.
A season ago, OSU rotated between quarterbacks Garret Rangel, Gunnar Gundy and Bowman for three games before Bowman won the job. This year, there’s not much uncertainty. The job is Bowman’s.
OSU coach Mike Gundy has had experienced quarterbacks before. Before the 24-year-old Bowman, Spencer Sanders was the guy for four seasons. Before Sanders, Mason Rudolph held the reins for more than three seasons. Brandon Weeden was 27 when the 2011 season began. The Cowboys have had luck with older, experienced QBs, and as spring practice began Tuesday, Bowman brings that element.
