If you believe the chatter coming from Oklahoma State’s practice facility on Thursday, the Cowboys’ 2023 defense is learning first-year defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo’s new system fast — and that’s going to allow them to play even faster.
Mike Gundy made some strong statements about the Cowboys’ speed, something he says they’ve placed a higher priority on in recruiting of late, especially on defense.
“We’ve recruited speed when we’ve had that luxury,” Gundy said. “We didn’t want to make speed more important than being productive in high school, but if we had the comparison of two guys that were just as productive, we tried to go with the speed the last four or five years.
