In what may be one of the more pessimistic (and possibly realistic) takes on the 2018 season, a low ceiling is projected for Cowboy Football by a Big 12 blog.
…(T)his is a rebuilding year for Gundy. If anyone thinks the Cowboys are going to win 9 or 10 games this year, then you’re crazy. I see this season a lot like the 2014 season except OSU has a stud back in Justice Hill who will see a TON of carries this year. I truly believe a bowl game would be a positive year for the Pokes.
