Oklahoma State held a 115-play scrimmage on Wednesday afternoon and Cowboys coach Mike Gundy was pleased with what he saw.

“Overall, I thought we had a good day,” Gundy said. “I thought there was good on both sides.”

OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden seems to be making progress in Dana Holgorsen’s offense but Gundy is expecting the redshirt junior to continue to improve.

“I thought Brandon Weeden was average,” Gundy said. “I thought he made some good plays, I thought at times he made some bad throws.”

Holgorsen said Weeden’s up-and-down results are to be expected for a guy with just over two weeks’ worth of spring practices under his belt.

“(It’s coming along) slowly,” Holgorsen said. “That’s obviously to be expected. Brandon got better today. Brandon I thought was a little cooler than in the past. I thought he handled some things that were thrown at him that he had problems with here the first six practices, so he is progressing. He’s just a guy that needs a bunch of reps because he hasn’t played football for five years, so he needs just to continue to take snaps and get better.”

OSU will hold its final practice of the week on Friday and the Spring Game will be played on April 17 at Boone Pickens Stadium.
