Watch: Mike Gundy Pre-Central Michigan Press Conference

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is set to face Central Michigan in the season opener on Thursday, September 1. Head coach Mike Gundy met with the media Thursday morning to discuss the upcoming game, the depth chart and what he’s seeing from Central Michigan.

"I see a tough football team. They’ve had a few transfers. Just watching last year, highly competitive, very physical up front. I see a lot of MAC football because they play during the week. You guys are probably like I am late at night. You’re flipping and you’re like, ‘I’m going to watch a little ball.’ You get to watch a game where it’s raining and it’s 30 degrees on a Tuesday night or whatever. I watched a lot of them and they are exactly what from a distance I see. But with that conference is they are physical up front, they’re tough, they’re back is physical — he’s part of what they are. Head coach is a good offensive guy, he’s a good playcaller. From the outside looking in they believe in toughness. Quarterback is athletic. Had a really, really good pass rush last year. They don’t try to do too much, in my opinion. They’re good at what they do."
