STILLWATER — Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah needed just one game to establish himself among the best pass rushers in all of college football last season. It just happened to be his first collegiate start.
Ogbah’s two sacks of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston in the 2014 opener at AT&T Stadium likely stunned plenty of OSU fans. But what about Ogbah’s position coach?
“I knew he was capable of being an NFL-caliber defensive end,” Joe Bob Clements said. “How quickly it was going to happen? I didn’t know.”
Ogbah went on to record the first double-digit sack total (11) in single-season history under coach Mike Gundy and returns as the anchor of OSU’s defensive line.
