/ Defensive Tackle |
| There's
enough talent running
routes in Stillwater to
where Josh Stewart will
continue giving OSU a
long line of thoroughbred
OSU pass catchers. Running
up the gut will be difficult
against these Cowboys.
Not only are the safeties
premier defenders but
Calvin Barnett takes up
space, blockers and ball-carriers. |

| Quarterback
/ Defensive End |
Ability
is not missing from the
quarterbacks doing battle,
they just cannot seem
to separate and lock down
the longing question...who
plays quarterback? Now
that Lunt has transferred
will it be Chelf or Walsh?
The pass defense was questionable
last year. Two new defense
ends will be expected
to bring much needed pressure
on opposing passers to
keep this area from lagging.

QUICK
TAKES |
- An
unsettled revolving quarterback
process seems to remain the situation
in Stillwater. Senior Clint Chelf
is the veteran who rose to the top
last fall with a help of a few injuries.
He may be the least talented option
but he makes things happen especially
as a descent runner. Recruiting
star Wes Lunt transferred out which
leaves next-big-thing J.W. Walsh
to fight for starting honors, a
battle that likely will be open
for debate through the whole season.
A knee injury closed his development
last fall but Walsh can run and
has a legit mid-range arm.
- This
won't be a rebuilding circumstance
for OSU as opposed to last year.,
which they handled quite well considering
the number of personnel they were
trying to replace.
- The
key to success lies with new offensive
coordinator Mike Yurcich who came
from an impressive stint at Division
II Shippensburg where his offenses
lit up the scoreboard and piled
on the yards. Head coach Mike Gundy
knows how to spot an offensive genius
and he will sink or swim with the
Yurcich project.
- Pass
catching stud Josh Stewart is an
All-American performer fitting in
with the likes of past Cowboy greats
Rashaun Woods, Dez Bryant and Justin
Blackmon. This offense puts up monster
stats and makes a superstar out
of a pass catcher every year. With
Moore, Jackson and Hays among others
by his side there is no room for
opposing defenses to double up on
Stewart.
- The
defense will be under a more attacking
style with Glenn Spencer taking
over as defensive coordinator. This
side of the ball will be extremely
stout up the middle with two of
the league's premier safety and
tackle duos to work with.
-
Defensive tackle Calvin Barnett
is the rock in the middle. He takes
up space, blockers and ball-carriers.
He can also move when he has to,
nothing flashy but he is very productive.
- The
losses last season were close ones.
With a wealthy combination of athletes
and experience the Cowboys are being
tagged as the team to beat in the
Big 12 for the second time in three
years.
- The
keys will be to figure out this
unsettled quarterback situation,
generate a better pass rush with
some new defensive ends and to cut
back the passing totals by the opponent.
