2. Dillon Stoner continues to step up

When Tylan Wallace went down with an injury against Iowa State, it seemed like the Oklahoma State passing attack would just go downhill. It hasn’t been as prolific, but the drop-off hasn’t been drastic thanks to the rise of Dillon Stoner.

The junior receiver has spent his career as an above-average pass-catcher, but never as a true No. 1 target and that has changed with Wallace’s injury.

In fact, Stoner has been dominant in two games without Wallace. He has eight catches for 243 yards and four touchdowns and looks like a true big-play No. 1 receiver. The offense needed someone to step up, and it’s been Stoner.

Against Kansas, Stoner had a career game, catching five passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns and was more of the team’s offense through the air.

The chances Wallace sticks around for another year are slim, but if he decides to come back, a combo of him and Stoner would be deadly.
