Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, now in his third season with the Cowboys, has made major strides toward improving his defense, which has played a part in OSU’s 3-0 start to the season.
“I really like how Jim’s adjusted to this league,” coach Mike Gundy said. “Again, we’re going to know a lot more this year with this group over the next three weeks because we’re going to play teams that are really skilled on the perimeter. They have played well, we couldn’t ask for more of what they’re doing now.”


Through three games, the Cowboys defense has allowed only 274.
