STILLWATER – Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy described the scrimmage on Saturday inside Boone Pickens Stadium as balanced. Yes, the offense did some good things, but if you were grading it start to finish, play-by-play, the defense almost assuredly came away at least a letter higher than the offense. Based on turnovers, and Kale Smith did have another pick on an all-or-nothing throw by Alan Bowman in a two minute drill.
You ALWAYS want your defense to come out ahead of your offense in preseason or else it portends major problems!!! This bunch has a fairly good amount of experience and that helps a lot!!!Orangeheart72 said:
Ya and see, for whatever reasons (blind bias, articles, clips of Nardo, adding a clock change and run game) I expect our D to be improved. Probably fairly significantly.
I'm starting to think QB truly isn't a lock for Bowman. I'll now be surprised if at least two don't play. Wouldn't be Gundy's 1st time to use quarterbacks by situation. And he loves a qb who can run, so Gunnar's his best running qb. Remember how Mason Rudolph would get yanked in the red zone for Walsh?

Good stuff, I am looking forward to see the numbers that the defense puts up this year. It will be interesting to see that same comparison with the defensive numbers from last year in the future as the season progresses. Coach Nardo has that way of connecting with players that builds strong relationships which transcends on the field.
