Oklahoma St. wants to maintain intensity against Missouri St., avoid letdown after narrow loss

Published February 05, 2015

After graduating several key playmakers from last year's 10-3 squad, Oklahoma State faced a lot of uncertainty heading into last weekend's season opener.

But despite falling 37-31 to No. 1 Florida State in the Kickoff Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex., the Cowboys are brimming with confidence.

The resiliency that OSU demonstrated by bouncing back from a 17-0 second quarter deficit to almost defeat the defending national champions has restored a swagger the team was missing during the offseason.

Now the challenge is for them to maintain the same level of intensity and commitment in their home opener Saturday against a seemingly lesser opponent, Missouri State.
