For five weeks and four games, major concerns hovered over Oklahoma State, and how the rest of the season might play out.
Those concerns have taken a backseat this weekend.
OSU struggled through nonconference play, unable to get much traction on offense, as well as having issues on defense, but took some small steps forward two weeks ago in a close loss to Iowa State.
Through four games, OSU averaged 343.5 yards a game, 99th nationally, and 121.8 rushing yards a game (84th) but gained 412 total yards on Friday, with 174 of those coming on the ground.
