The Pokes are going to be a difficult Big 12 team to deal with and may even end up competing against their in-state rival Sooners on December 3 for the conference title. No team in the Big 12 brings back this much experience and Coach Gundy has a knack for getting this team to compete even on years when the experience levels are not this high. The entire offensive line comes back and Mason Rudolph is an underrated quarterback. Before these Cowboys can jump a higher fence however, they will need a whole new defensive mindset. The one currently in place has not worked.
