Daily Bullets (June 5): Lutz’s Opening Opponent Revealed, Sleeping on the Pokes

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Fun concept in play here – the Steve Lutz era will begin facing an OSU alum making his college coaching debut (PFB)

However, there are a few pieces that help crack the code of a successful Mike Gundy team. For one, experience at quarterback helps. All eight of Gundy’s 10-win seasons came under multi-year starters. A superstar wide receiver helps too — and Brennan Presley is back to take that role. Defensively, the middle of the pack is good enough. That will take some improvement from Bryan Nardo’s unit but it is possible. [CBS Sports]

That’s seats between the scorers table and the team bench. — Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 4, 2024
