• Why OSU’s Big 12-start this year is different than past years – hint it’s fighting the tide in a different direction

• News broke Monday that Jim Knowles had interviewed with Illinois – and I totally get it, how much better can a defensive coordinator perform in the Big 12?

OSU is coming off its best defensive season under Knowles. The Cowboys led the nation in third-down percentage. The defense was the backbone of the team that suffered multiple injuries on offense.
