Watch: Mike Gundy's Weekly Availability Ahead of Iowa State

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State head coach met with the media Monday at noon to put a bow on the Kansas game and look ahead to Iowa State.

The Cowboys are looking to bounce back against Iowa State following the 37-16 loss to Kansas this past weekend.

"Alright, so we got everybody back, and guys are in good spirits, really,” Mike Gundy said in his opening statement. “Obviously, they would like to have won the game, but they were good last night. Had a good workout. I've seen quite a few of them over there today watching tape, so we're on to the next one. Iowa State could have three more wins really easy. As we all know, in this league, they've been in close games. We'll certainly have our work cut out for us. We have to really practice well and be able to rush the ball. I continue to say that, but regardless, it's a fact. We have to find ways to rush the football and maintain some on-the-ground yards. Then we've got to improve in the running game. We've got to commit to more of it and play harder up front and be gap sound and slow down the run. That'll get us back on the field offensively and then find a way to stay balanced. We all know about their defense. I don't know, I know they're ranked probably in the Top 10 in the country in defense. They're very good on not giving up a lot of points, a lot of yards, so we'll have to work really hard to come up with a good plan. But I'm convinced the guys will commit this week and play hard."
