OSU Plays, Romps Early

I don't think we learned anything about Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The Cowboys were awesome on offense, decent on defense and completely overwhelmed Missouri State, 57-13, in college football on Saturday in Stillwater.
So, in this game, OSU's offense looked pretty much unstoppable. We already knew that. And, OSU's defense had a few holes at times. We've seen that, too.
The good news is that OSU took this game serious enough to get out and get it over. The Cowboys were good enough to win easily without getting off the first page of the play book. It was handoff right. It was handoff left.
No need to show anything and the Cowboys did not.
So, OSU is off to a 3-0 start, just as expected. The Cowboys have looked sharp at times through three games, especially on offense.
But the road ahead gets progressively tougher. However, through three games, there isn't a lot to complain about.
Good offense, Maybe better on defense. More reliable kicking game. And three victories.
So far, so good.

I'm worried about our defensive front line...

Fuzzy O is an idiot (4 years ago)

John, what do you think about the OSU fans who believe Gundy should have used Saturday's game against MSU to pad the stats of star players to gain more national recognition?

gus (4 years ago)

what was attendance at sat game?

T Bone (4 years ago)

John: Not critical of OSU's defense as it takes awhile to build a good defense under one DC. The coaches have tried to recruit faster DT's and LB's. Someday, it will all come together and they will be competitive with the best.. Until then, go pokes.

NOTHING can be judged from the game with misery st. this team was horrible, I cannot believe Gumby is so exicited about the performance of the team

Let's wait until the Big XII and see how good osu can be

BAllen (4 years ago)

One is 6'6"plus, the other is 6'6" plus, both weigh a ton and each run like a bull elk chasing his female in the spring. Both can catch the ball. Both will probably be first round draft choices. You know who I'm talking about. Who is the best tight end in the State, or is it to early to tell. This would be a good topic for a story.
