Optimism is rightfully stunted surrounding the Oklahoma State football program entering 2018. You can blame Mike Gundy’s most recent mullet trim for that, if you’d like, but most will point towards the loss of the record-setting QB-WR tandem in Rudolph and Washington as reason OSU doesn’t appear slated to produce a seventh 10-win season since 2010.
Last season it was a foregone conclusion, as OSU entered the 2017 season as a trendy pick to win the league outright. This season, though, with an untested QB, a new-look defense, and the unknown of what a re-made receiving corps.
