After six straight weeks of football, it was obvious that the Cowboys were in desperate need of the upcoming bye week.
“(We’re) 6-0 going into the bye week; we’ve felt like we’ve done a great job,” Ogbah said. “A lot of guys are getting banged up though, so this will be a perfect week to rest up.”
For players to recover from half a season of football, coach Mike Gundy reduced practice time during the week.
