A 1‑20 record over their last 21 contests left the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a hole that ultimately cost head coach Mike Gundy his job.
The administration responded quickly, tapping Eric Morris, a coach whose reputation for offensive innovation was forged at North Texas, where his team topped the nation in points per game last season.
A New Era in Stillwater
Morris arrives with a clear mandate: revitalize a unit that ranked 130th in scoring a year ago, and he does so by bringing in a quarterback who has already drawn comparisons to a future NFL player.
That quarterback, known simply as Drew from North Texas, helped the Mean Green post nine games with 45 or more points, a testament to an explosive offense that could translate well to Stillwater.
The over/under for the Cowboys’ win total sits at five and a half on FanDuel, a line that reflects both skepticism and the tantalizing possibility of a turnaround.
Currently slotted ninth in the Big 12, the team is being written off by many, yet the combination of fresh leadership and a high‑octane attack has sparked conversation among analysts and bettors alike.
If the early returns are any indication, the Cowboys may finally be poised to break free from a two‑year slump and challenge the traditional hierarchy of the conference.
