Cowboys coach Mike Gundy has been good with young quarterbacks and it was no different Spencer Sanders. Last season was Sanders first year starting and he was good throwing for 2,065 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. 

Sanders is back for his second year starting, and the expectations are that he will take a bigger step forward. 

Last season the Cowboys defense gave up 32.5 points per game, but the expectation is that side of the ball can be better this year. There are a lot of playmakers on that side of the ball especially upfront that can be game-changers

Pick: The second-year for Sanders is going to be a big step forward and he is going to lead the Oklahoma State Cowboys to a lot of success. The Cowboys put some cupcakes on the non-conference schedule and that should help them. Oregon State to start the season will be a bit of a test, but they will have no issue in the second half pulling away. The rest of the non-conference is cupcakes, and they should cruise to a few easy victories. There will be some tough games in conference play but they will still get to at least nine wins.
