Give Central Michigan some credit for bringing a different scheme to Stillwater. The Cowboys youth were vulnerbale and will need to get up to speed before next week with Arizona State.

The Walk is less than 24 hours away as Oklahoma State football is in the final countdown for game day and the opener with Central Michigan.

These are the two young Cowboys that I predict will have the most immediate impact that you might not have been banking on all summer.

Jake Springfield straightened us out on offensive line. This group is ready and they are close-knit.

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy told his team after to trust the coaches because they know how to prepare them for the season and to listen to the older players about how to go through game week practices. Camp is over and it is on to the season.

Mike Gundy is always talking about the running back position being a group effort. After 130-plays on Friday in Boone Pickens Stadium, the looks like a good plan for 2022.

One of them shares the same last name as the head coach and the coach is very pleased with the way both are playing. Friday's (Aug. 19) practice could goes a long way in deciding No. 2.

Etienne simply wasn't ready for the 2021 season, but he is more than ready for 2022 and the offensive line is ready to prove that last spring was just part of the process.

Oklahoma State is missing Malcolm Rodriguez and Devin Harper as they combined to play well in their first NFL preseason games. However, the current linebackers and a big defensive end are progressing just fine in fall camp.

The 2023 recruiting class for Oklahoma State won't be all that big because there are so many players returning for 2023. The next few months are critical though.

Cowboys have reached the grind of fall camp. It is time to prove some lessons for the season by powering through. Saturday was a good day of observation with the running backs too.

It's a daily talley as Tuesday Garret Rangel had a huge day throwing the football, but a fantastic throw and catch from Gunnar Gundy to Rashod Owens highlighted Thursday practice.

The running back position ranks as the greatest concern during fall camp. It's not that there aren't players. It's just that the coaches want to know who will stand up and be the man.

After 23-years as an assistant coach and one of the program's most valuable recruiters the University of OklahomCale Gundy have parted ways after an incident with a receiver in a meeting.

Criticism of the offensive line is something that really bothers Cowboys quarterback Spencer Sanders and he made that clear with Pokes Report at Media Day.

With so many more wide receivers ready to roll out and with that depth, then quarterback Spencer Sanders can do what he wants and the coaches want, play fast on offense.

Any unit in football is a product of a number of positions and levels. Ohh there are a lot of doubters on the Cowboys defense since coordinator Jim Knowles and six starters on the back end are all gone. It's those guys up front that aren't buying the doubts.

A glorious sunrise was the curtain lifting on the first practice of Oklahoma State 2022 Fall Camp and this team was more than ready after a strong summer with leaders emerging.
