Coach:
Mike Gundy

Last year:
The Cowboys were a respectable 7-6 and beat Alabama 34-31 in the PetroSun Independence Bowl.

Offense: Gundy has landed his second strong recruiting class in a row, and the talent is starting to show. Junior Bobby Reid is big (six-foot-three, 230 pounds) and strong-armed. He'll look downfield for Adarius Bowman, one of the best wide receivers in the conference, if not the nation. OSU averaged more than 200 yards in both rushing and passing last year.

Defense: Jeremy Nethon, who returns at linebacker after being selected as the Independence Bowl MVP, will be joined by Chris Collins and Patrick Lavine, both winners of Freshman All-American honors in their first year.

Schedule: Difficult. The Cowboys have a tough out-of-conference road opener at Georgia. Texas Tech and Texas come to Stillwater, but Texas A&M, Nebraska and Oklahoma are road games.

Prediction: 8-4
