STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Better known for its explosive offense, Oklahoma State entered the AP Top 25 in its final spot this week after winning its first two games behind a shutdown defense.
The Cowboys (2-0) have surrendered just 21 points, tied for 15th in the nation. They also rank highly with 282 yards allowed per game (31st nationally) and 85 rushing yards per game (20th).
''I was pleased, the kids played really hard, just attacking the perimeter,'' said OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer of the unit's performance in a 32-8 win over Central Arkansas.
