- John Helsley breaks down some of things we learned against Central Michigan, including the “return” of the quarterback run game, and how this team is still actually pretty young.
- Kyle Fredrickson offers some insight into the Cowboys’ defensive depth this season, and what we can expect going forward.
- It might be a little early to be worrying about such things, but Bill Haisten thinks there might be some issues in the running game, and Ben Grogan’s field goal kicking.
- 2016 Cowboy quarterback commit Nick Starkel just keeps on trolling the Sooners, even on their home turf:

reekstuff on this punt return, which really just means he outran everyone:
