And, no, Oklahoma State hasn’t switched to some 3-2-6 defensive alignment in the giddy aftermath of last December.

“We have a lot of guys coming back, a lot of experience,” said cornerbacks coach Tim Duffie. “Our numbers are really good. We’re just trying to put these guys into position to play and help us win.”
At corner is where the math gets tricky, with four starters for two spots and no apparent shoehorn.
