New Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen arrived in Stillwater in January. A student of departed Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, Holgorsen said then he came to call the plays.
Perhaps you have heard all the drama/rumors/speculation about Texas moving to the Big 10 or the Pac-10. Word is that Texas and the Big 10 have conducted preliminary “talks” and that the Pac-10 has Texas squarely on the ‘expansion’ radar. Just go a quick google search on “Texas to Big 10″ and you will see numerous articles and varying opinions on the subject. It’s probably not going to happen, as Texas has it really, really good right now in the Big 12 from a dollars perspective as well as on the field. But the talk of conference re-alignment has largely left OU and OSU alone, until now. At least from one writer’s perspective (Andy Staples: SI’s Inside College Football), he proposes the creation of four super conferences with OU and OSU possibly getting the toughest draw – a shift to the SEC.
The era of Weeden, QB Brandon Weeden, begins on September 4, 2010.

Quarterback Alex Cate has left the Oklahoma State football program, a source close to the program confirmed to The Oklahoman on Thursday. It is unclear where the senior-to-be from Cottonwood, Utah plans to finish his collegiate career. Despite spending much of the 2009 season at Zac Robinson’s backup, Cate likely decided his chances of playing would increase if he chose to play elsewhere in 2010. Cate started in the place of an injured Robinson on Nov. 19 against Colorado but when the Cowboys offense struggled in the first half, Cate was replaced by Brandon Weeden, who led OSU to a 31-28 comeback win.

During the Boone Pickens Stadium renovation process, Mike Gundy predicted that Oklahoma State’s facilities — including the $180 million, 633,130-square-foot west-end complex — would have a profound impact on recruiting.
Signing day was not kind to Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. The Cowboys lost the commitments of two members of their class.
Defensive tackle Calvin Barnett of Booker T. Washington in Tulsa switched to Arkansas after being a long-time pledge to OSU. Barnett is considered the top prospect in the state and the No. 103 overall player.

Zac Robinson had the Senior Bowl’s best passing numbers, throwing 12 of 21 for 176 yards and a touchdown before getting intercepted late in the game.
College football’s top-ranked offensive machine might get a tune-up whether it needs one or not.
Radio station KGOW (1560 AM) reported Friday that Dana Holgorsen, who assembled the Houston Cougars’ system that produced the most points (42.1) and yards per game (563.4) in the nation this past season, has accepted a job as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. The radio station said Holgorsen is bringing Kliff Kingsbury, who has spent the past two seasons as the UH offensive quality control assistant, with him to Stillwater, Okla.
No, Oklahoma State didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard in it’s final two games (OU and Ole Miss) and now Cowboy fans are letting Coach Mike Gundy hear about it. Sure, losing Dez Bryant (suspension) and Kendall Hunter (injury) were massive losses to the team and what it was capable of doing. But there are some unanswered questions about the health of QB Zac Robinson and just how effective he was in those two games. Should he have played? Was Gundy too loyal to his three year starter? Perhaps. But all of that is water under the bridge now. Robinson has exhausted his eligibility and now 26 year old Brandon Weeden assumes control over the offense. You’ll remember Weeden from his comeback victory over Colorado on a Thursday night in Stillwater when Robinson was on the sidelines due to injury.
