Justice Hill is gone. J.D. King is gone. Both leave sizable voids in an Oklahoma State running back rotation that consists of three players who have actually played in a game.

With an upcoming matchup with Missouri on New Year’s Eve, the Cowboys will ride the Canadian train into the offseason and beyond.
But across the line of scrimmage waits a pretty stout Tigers defense that would like to keep Chuba from making the Liberty Bowl his officially coming out party as RB1.
