Who is Coach Glass’ golden boy? Maybe my favorite preseason story this fall. (NewsOK)
OKC Dave finished his fan survey. It’s awesome. (PFB)
Good point here by Berry Tramel that OSU and OU have two of the most favorable backup QB situations in the country. (NewsOK)
Emmanuel Ogbah as the 24th-best player in the country. (Yahoo)
Seth Jacobs: “We know that last year we didn’t get the job done on defense. We didn’t stop the run, we didn’t stop the pass and we got scored on too much. We need to buckle down and take responsibility.” (Big 12 Sports)
Since October 2008, the Cowboys have carried a national ranking in 65 of 87 games played. In 87 games before October 2008, the Cowboys were a Top 25 team in only 15 games. (Tulsa World)
I really want somebody from OSU to win the Piesman Trophy. (SB Nation)
OSU is somehow both underrated and overrated at the same time. (PFB)
Glenn Spencer is talking about Central Michigan like they’re the ’85 Bears.
“You study tape from last year and see how they’re an explosive team. They can put up a lot of points on you. They’ve got a tremendous quarterback that’s a playmaker. He’s going to create plays. They’ve got a few experienced linemen back. They’ve got good running backs back. They know how to compete. We’ve seen how they’ve come back in some games. They’re going to add a few new wrinkles, so we’ve got to be ready to adjust during the game as it goes along. It’s a very prideful program up there at home in their place. It’s a night game up there, so I’m sure it’s going to be electric. They’ll be ready for us.” (okstate)
Good stuff from Robert Allen here on OSU’s depth chart. He would know better than anyone. (Go Pokes)
Some good Brandon Sheperd one-handed snags here. (PFB)
Nice.

Sam Ukwuachu situation
This on Ukwuachu’s final days at Boise is really terrifying. (ESPN)
The deeper it goes, though, the less convinced I am that either Chris Petersen or Art Briles was lying. Don’t tell anyone on Twitter that though.
More stuff I’m reading
Sports Illustrated launched a new college football vertical which is cool. (SI)
This podcast with the producer of NBC’s Sunday Night Football is really good. (SI)
