Oklahoma State football: Mike Gundy says improving run game big priority entering 2016 season

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State reached double-digit victories this season with a rushing attack that ranked among the nation's bottom 25 teams in total yardage.

Coach Mike Gundy says something has to change in 2016.

“If we don't improve in the running game,” he said on Thursday, “we won't win 10 games next year.”

The Cowboys return all five starting offensive linemen and four different running backs with game experience.

“We'll improve on the offensive line with two things: experience and size,” Gundy said. “We need to find a guy to hand the ball to that can be more productive running the ball and not only get what we have blocked for them.
