I'm not all that sure what to expect honestly...
I know if we were the team that lost 4 starting OL with the 5th was shifting from tackle to guard, an NFL RB, and several key pieces to one of the worst defenses in the country last year -- while breaking in two new coordinators -- I'd be really worried about this game. That's what we're playing against with THIS Ok State team...

Okie State ain't Mississippi State. Linemen and backs in that system are plug 'n' play. With the way they reel off quick passes out of the shotgun, all they need are offensive linemen who can keep the quarterback standing upright for a second and a half and running backs who can sell the play action as legitimate running threats.
They don't use road graders and bruisers. Their offense in 2013 won't regress too much from what it was last season, if at all.

Every source I've read says they're returning 14-17 starters. And only one of the starting OL have been in the program for less than 3 years.

Every player listed as an offensive starter on the post-spring depth chart has started at least one game in his career, while six of the seven most experienced Cowboys in terms of career starts reside on the defensive side of the ball in linebacker Shaun Lewis (32 career starts), cornerback Justin Gilbert (26 career starts), safety Daytawion Lowe (26 career starts), linebacker Caleb Lavey (26 career starts) defensive tackle Calvin Barnett (13 career starts) and safety Shamiel Gary (13 career starts). Four potential first-time starters are listed on the post-spring depth chart in defensive ends Tyler Johnson, Jimmy Bean and Trace Clark and also linebacker Ryan Simmons.

Okie Light lost their QB to transfer so this might be winnable.

At quarterback, Wes Lunt, J.W. Walsh and Clint Chelf are all listed equally after each player led OSU to conference wins in 2012. Lunt, Walsh and Chelf made Big 12 history last year by becoming the first three quarterbacks from the same team to pass for 1,000 yards in a season. That feat hadn't been accomplished at any school in the country since 1996.

We have a legit shot if our secondary can just play halfway decent. We should be able to pound the ball and use the short passing game to eat up clock and let our Dline do some damage to a young inexperienced O line that isn't gelling early in the season.
