Is a relaxed Gundy a reflection of OSU confidence?

IRVING, Texas – Three observations after two days in Texas:
* In advance of his fourth consecutive bowl game, OSU coach Mike Gundy seems exceedingly relaxed. Is it a reflection of confidence? If the Cowboys prevail over Ole Miss in Saturday's Cotton Bowl Classic, Gundy will have a 3-1 records both in bowl games and against Southeastern Conference opponents.
* Dexter McCluster is an excellent interview and an even better football player. An Ole Miss senior, he is used as both a running back and a receiver. Physically, he resembles the small, talented and ridiculously fast Houston slot receivers. McCluster stands only a tad taller than 5-7, but in high school he high-jumped 6 feet, 6 inches and long-jumped 23 feet. If he has the football in the open field, and if OSU squanders an opportunity to tackle this guy, he'll probably score. He has blazing speed.
* After speaking with Kendall Hunter on Sunday, I'm convinced that he's finally ready to make big plays again. After being affected for three months by a foot injury, the Cowboy junior seems genuinely excited about Saturday's game.
