Returning Starters: 13

Mike Gundy is the new Oklahoma St. head coach as he replaces Les Miles who took the LSU job.

This season the Cowboys are changing from a rushing offense to a passing attack, how quickly players adapt to this offensive change will be vital to success. Transitions like these almost always guarantee setbacks along the way.

Unlike Oklahoma and Texas, Oklahoma State lacks break out players at the skilled positions on both sides of the balls. Until the Cowboys can snag some of the blue chip recruits they will always be a step or 2 behind the elite teams in the Big 12.

Non conference schedule is a breeze but the Cowboys Big 12 schedule is brutal. In addition to having to play 4 of the top 25 teams in the nation because they are in the South division, they also draw 3 of the top 4 teams from the Big 12 North. Oklahoma State should be bowl eligible due to a cake non conference slate, but equaling last years win total of 7 looks doubtful.
