Mike Gundy loves for his Cowboys to run the ball; they just haven’t always been that good at it. But this year, they should be.

Oklahoma State is enjoying a rare mix of experience and depth at the running back position and should be much improved along the offensive line. If both parties can remain relatively healthy, that’s a good recipe for ground-game success.

Last year, the O-line wasn’t so much bitten by the injury bug as it was bled dry by a swarm of injury mosquitoes. And the nation’s leading rusher coming in, Chuba Hubbard, played beat-up and was limited to just seven games.
