It still feels strange to note that one of the strengths of Oklahoma State’s team — not just the defense but the entire team — in the last five years has been its defensive line play.
From Emmanuel Ogbah to Vincent Taylor to DQ Osborne, the Cowboys have been a force (especially compared to past Oklahoma State defensive lines) under Joe Bob Clements. We could even see an uptick in this area in 2018 as OSU fields a front four that includes five seniors and some promising potential future stars.
Coinciding with a roster rife with both young studs and vets who understand what it takes to win 10 games a season is a new defense that has both players and fans excited.
