STILLWATER — During the best seasons in Oklahoma State's recent renaissance, Cowboys quarterbacks have leaned hard on premier receivers.
Rashaun Woods. D'Juan Woods. Adarius Bowman. Dez Bryant.
Justin Blackmon. Josh Cooper. Tracy Moore. Josh Stewart.
That's eight names occupying OSU's Top 10 lists for both career receptions and receiving yards, with seven of them also ranking among the program's Top 10 in career touchdown catches, all coming since 2000.
Current quarterback Mason Rudolph, however, doesn't lean.
Not that he can't, it's just not a necessity.
These Cowboys don't feature an elite statistical receiver, not in the mold of Baylor's Corey Coleman or TCU's Josh Doctson or Texas Tech's Jakeem Grant when it comes to big bold numbers.
