STILLWATER — Jim Knowles makes his summer sound simple. And maybe a little boring.
“It’s mostly film and a yellow pad,” said the 54-year-old Knowles, who is prepping for his second season as Oklahoma State’s defensive coordinator.
His work might be boring to some, but it's certainly not simple.
Knowles' first year in Big 12 country had its bright spots. Top-10 finishes nationally in quarterback sacks and red-zone defense — two worthy categories — but other areas were well behind.
The Cowboys had only 13 takeaways in 13 games, and allowed 32.5 points and 452.
