Wrestling: Pokes 24, Mizzou 10

OSU Bullets

• With Daton Fix wrestling up a class and four freshmen wrestling, the Cowboys beat No. 5 Missouri on the road (PFB)

• The Cowboys took their first verbal commitment for the 2025 class yesterday – a defensive back from southeastern Oklahoma (PFB)

• All of the experience Cowboy Football will return should have a big payoff this fall: 

Players with a combined hundreds of games of FBS experience shouldn’t be fazed by a season opener against an FCS program, even one as accomplished as South Dakota State. 

Players with that much Power Five experience shouldn’t be fazed by an SEC opponent coming to Stillwater in Week 2, even if the Razorbacks are fizzing over their first shot at the Cowboys since Lou Holtz beat Jimmy Johnson in 1980.

Conference opponents won’t faze players with that much Big 12 experience, whether it’s a legacy like K-State, a Gen Alpha like West Virginia, or someone as brand new as Utah.
