Oklahoma State enters the season without its top two producers at tailback — Desmond Roland and Tyreek Hill — from a season ago. That has Cowboy fans wondering who will carry the rushing load next season.

OSU coach Mike Gundy wants to clarify. It’s never a one-person job.

“When we've had success at Oklahoma State, not only in the win/loss column but on offense, we've had a lead back, and then we've had another back that's been pretty good,” Gundy said.
