Scouting Report

Oklahoma State played on Thursday against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Quarterback Mason Rudolph looked every bit the part of a superstar as he led the Pokes to a 59-24 victory. Running back Justice Hill could be a monster.

The Cowboy offense should be the best in the country. They have a receiving corps better than any other. Led by senior James Washington, Oklahoma State has an offense that no team can shut down across the board.

One of the biggest concerns for the Pokes is their defense. The cornerbacks are young and inexperienced. There’s potential with A.J. Green as he possesses the tools necessary to possibly succeed at the next level.

Oklahoma State has another weekday game this week as they take on the South Alabama Jaguars. Ole Miss defeated South Alabama handily behind a solid effort from sophomore quarterback Shea Patterson. South Alabama should be no problem for the Cowboys.
