Five things for Oklahoma fans to know about Oklahoma State: Improved running game complements explosive receivers

Here's five things for Oklahoma fans to know about the Sooners' next opponent -- the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

James Washington might be as good as Dede Westbrook

Oklahoma State WR James Washington is one of the best at his position in the Big 12. Like the Sooners' own Dede Westbrook, Washington is an explosive downfield threat. He leads the team with 60 catches for 1,159 yards -- second to only Westbrook in the Big 12 -- and nine touchdowns.

Oklahoma S Steven Parker said Washington and Westbrook are different, however, because the OSU wide-out likes to high-point the ball instead of just blowing past defenders.
