FORT WORTH, Texas – There were some positives in the 38-13 loss to TCU dropping Oklahoma State to 3-7 on the season and eliminating the chance of continuing the 18 season streak of bowl games and winning seasons.

Defensive tackle Iman Oates talked about his first career sack.

Robert,

We returned almost all of the two deep from last years defense, right? Something like 19 of 22. If that's right, how can we be young?

How is it we are so much worse. Last year we weren't good, something like 98th. We chalked this up to it being Nardo's first year and there would be significant improvement in the second year. This year without Oliver & Martin we are 131st! How does this happen?

Really need some contributors from the portal this go around. And preferably not guys from ark st. and UTEP. Hylton plays hard but is not P4. Same with Harris.

However, We need to focus almost all funds for belly positions. OL/DL are getting dominated each week. No team on our schedule this year should be manhandling us up front like we have seen.

It's hard when you don't have the money, we can only afford players from Utep and such. If there's a top10 lineman he will make double at Ohio state to ride the bench than be a starter here.

That's going to change moving forward depending on MG. There's some cash lining up. Also, if we take some away from the skill players we paid/paying we can afford a couple bellys.

Inside out is the way. Go POKES!

I wish there was cash lining up to fire Dunn and Nardo.

Gundy needs to overhaul this thing and I honestly don't think he has the energy or the motivation to do it after being coach for nearly 20 years.
