- Oklahoma State was identified as the strongest Power Four candidate for a major year-over-year win increase after going 1-11. - The market projection was roughly six wins, which would represent substantial improvement without requiring the Cowboys to become a conference contender. - Oklahoma State was viewed as having the best quarterback situation among a comparable Big 12 turnaround group, though uncertainty across the rest of the roster limits the ceiling.

- QB: I don't know much about the third in line but I assume it's Broderick Vehrs.

- QB/LB: The history of Oklahoma State football extends back to 1899.

- The excitement case is the newness of the offense after years of a similar Oklahoma State identity. - The quarterback is expected to get the ball out quickly and look for deep shots. - Cover 3 frames the passing-game refresh as a possible lift after recent seasons where the old approach was no longer working.

- Cover 3 framed Oklahoma State's opener as a live upset spot, noting the market was only around 1.5 points and that a loss would quickly dent offseason optimism. - The concern centered on Tulsa's staff/offense having enough offseason runway to bring new looks, including formations Oklahoma State may not have seen on film. - The panel treated the matchup more like a tricky early betting spot than a routine favorite spot because of Tulsa's new-quarterback/game-plan angle.

- Mestemaker and Barnes finally have quality QB-receiver pairing to work with; both eager for season start.

- Morris develops QBs, benched senior starter for true freshman Cam Ward; QB coaching improved significantly.

- Predicted starters—Mestemaker QB, Hawkins RB; confident LBs (Wesloski, Chisom, White); uncertain at DB; DT depth limited to Clements.

- QB: Yep, Corndog did not hit the deep ball as well as Rudolph, but was better at it than every QB since, until now.

- UMass transfer Grant Jordan started at QB; freshman Luke Tepas threw TD to freshman Jabarie Thornton.

- Sorsby likely plays QB for Tech this year despite NCAA gambling issues.
