Watch: Mike Gundy's Availability Ahead of Iowa State

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy met with the media on Monday afternoon to discuss the upcoming Big 12 opener against Iowa State. 

The Pokes are coming off a disappointing 33-7 home loss to South Alabama this past weekend.

"Injury-wise we're doing good. Obviously, Stribling goes out of the game (against South Alabama), but he should progress fine this week. Quarterback-wise we're rotating them along as we have. There's not really anything to talk about that would make a difference. We need to do a better job up front and we struggled protection-wise in this game, we struggled penalty-wise and we struggled special teams-wise. Those are the things that I've talked about a lot in preseason - your hidden yards, which is your special team return yards and being comparable to the other team. Your penalty yards and then turnovers. We lost in all three of those categories. In most cases, that will generally end up being a loss for your team and unfortunately, that's what happened Saturday night. Defensively, we did tackle better in that game. They got their backs against the wall. To be quite honest after watching the tape, we weren't that far off. Think one of the biggest issues is they were on the field the whole game. We couldn't get anything going on offense or get back on the field. Overall, we got a few things we've got to get cleaned up. Team attitude is good. Most of them were hanging around here yesterday, even though we were off, so they'll all be over here today for meetings and practice. Coaches are back at it and will be ready to roll."
