OSU Bullets

• The preseason AP poll indicates a belief that OSU is in the top half of the Big 12 – is OSU the first 1-11 team to get votes the next season? (PFB + X) • Ten Cowboy Football players PFB’s head man is excited to watch this fall (PFB) • Berry Tramel pointed out a big question that will determine OSU’s success this season:

There’s always a risk element in the transfer portal, but all these transfers from North Texas, whether directly from (Eric) Morris’ 2025 Mean Green or the few who played for him in 2024, are not mysteries. Morris knows what he’s getting.

The question is, does he know what he needs? Are these transfers Big 12 caliber? They hold the key to OSU’s season. [TulsaWorld]
