OSU Bullets

• How the Pokes embraced the opportunity without their best player and beat Iowa State despite too many turnovers

• Cade Cunningham is still day-to-day

• Five Thoughts from the Iowa State game – No. 2 on using Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe in mismatches will continue to be a key element for the Cowboy offense moving forward

• Mel Kiper has Teven Jenkins as a first-round pick

• This is a little bit worrisome – Boise State, the Cowboys’ premier non-conference opponent, could be a surprise team this year.

The quick addition of Andy Avalos adds hope that the Boise State run will continue. The Oregon defensive coordinator who replaced Harsin is a first-time head coach but a former All-WAC linebacker for the Broncos knows the territory. He also has an experienced quarterback, Hank Bachmeier. The Broncos have a nonconference schedule tough enough to make a New Year’s Six run … if Boise can beat Oklahoma State and win at BYU and UCF.

• Pretty cool pic here on some Cowboy v. Cowboy action in Senior Bowl practice:

• Saturday in Stillwater should be a good time – the Hogs are playing descent basketball this year and are generally regarded on the upswing with their new coach.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Read past the headline – this on the almost-was Pac-16 is pretty interesting
• Mo Bamba and the struggle to develop NBA bigs
