The Oklahoma State Cowboys will hold many clear advantages against Missouri State in their season opener, but one matchup that’s a little less clear is their secondary versus the Bears’ wide receiving corps. MSU has changed to more of a spread-based, up-tempo attack since the Cowboys have seen them last, and their receivers will face a unit that had an up-and-down season in 2017. Still, OSU’s secondary had some standout performances last year, including from starting cornerback A.J. Green, and the inclusion of players like graduate transfer Kemah Siverand should increase their depth.
Missouri State lost their top four receivers from 2017.
