Three Thoughts

• Excellent coverage ahead of today’s big game against the Sooners:
– Keys to the Game
– TV info, projected lineups and series breakdown

• OSU offered a Vanderbilt player in the portal – this is clearly where the Derek Mason connection was to play out after six years in Nashville and one at Auburn

• It’s hard to quantify how valuable Jaylen Warren and Tay Martin were to the offense last fall. This take on Martin was spot on:

When the Cowboys needed a play to be made in the passing game, Tay Martin was the go-to man. There are some consistency issues in his game, and he has had moments where he falls short, but it looks like he has done a nice job in practice and has made the most of his reps in Las Vegas.

Two Quotes

• Love how Boynton doesn’t shy away from Bedlam’s significance:

“It’s already the most important game on the schedule,” Boynton said Friday. “I don’t know if it can become more important than that. But there’s a high sense of urgency around our program and understanding all that goes into preparing for game against our rival and a really good team.”

• Bill Haisten looked at a former Cowboy and his life as an MMA fighter after being a Cowboy wrestler:

“At the same time, because he was an All-American wrestler in college, Jacobe (Smith) recognizes that it won’t be easy for him to get opponents. No one wants to fight him. And when (potential opponents) hear that Jacobe is a Daniel Cormier protégé, that makes it even more difficult to get fights.”
