The scrimmage, which is open to the public, is scheduled to last about 80 plays with a couple of individual position drill periods mixed in.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he's looking specifically for backup quarterback contenders Brandon Weeden and Alex Cate to show improvement, and for overall improvement from a light scrimmage OSU held a week ago.
"But really we're looking for guys to play hard and give great effort and have good body language and to do those types of things that are all important,” Gundy said.
Many of the highlights from the Cowboys' first scrimmage were on defense, an interesting twist for a team that was potent offensively last season but struggled on defense.
In that March 13 scrimmage, the offense failed to score, but the defense put points on the scoreboard. A number of newcomers made big plays in that scrimmage, including interceptions by incoming freshman Markelle Martin and junior college transfer Lucien Antoine.
"We're looking for the offense to be more productive and the defense to be better than it was,” Gundy said.
Center David Washington might participate in today's scrimmage.
The senior-to-be suffered a broken leg in last year's game at Troy.
He participated in a light contact practice for the first time on Wednesday.
Today marks the second of OSU's four scheduled spring scrimmages.
Fans who will attend should enter through Gate 6, which is on the south side of the stadium next to the ticket office.
No other gates will be open.
The third scrimmage is scheduled for April 4, and spring practices culminate with the Orange-White spring game on April 12.
The spring game will start at 4 p.m.
A free concert by country singer (and OSU alumnus) Keith Anderson will follow at 6 p.m. Gallagher-Iba Arena.
