Is there ever a good time to face Texas?

Before working on my insider yesterday, I asked Cowboys coach Mike Gundy if it was fair to say this is a good time to face Texas with the Pokes playing as well as they have been.

“I don’t know that there’s ever a good time to play a team as talented as they are,” he said. “We feel good about our players and we are comfortable about their cohesiveness.”

One of the most consistent statements from the OSU program is how much chemistry they have. Everyone you ask seems to talk about the Cowboys senior leadership especially when you look at the obstacles OSU has overcome to be 6-1 entering Saturday’s battle with Texas.

“We have a lot more leadership on this team than we had in the previous years,” senior running back Keith Toston said. “This year, the seniors are talking a lot more and leading by example on the field, so that’s a big deal.”
