Blue skies welcomed the Oklahoma State Cowboys back to Boone Pickens Stadium on Thursday morning as the newcomers completed their final practice before joining the returners for full squad workouts on Friday.

The newcomers completed a two hour workout in uppers only on the artificial turf. The Cowboys continued to make strides and the coaching staff is anxious to see the full squad come together at one time.

“The newcomer practices are over and the next time they take the field it will be with the full team,” stated head coach Les Miles following Thursday's morning practice. “We will come together fully, the tempo will quicken and we will start our preparation for the fall most earnestly.”

The returners are scheduled to take the field for a 4:10 p.m. practice on Thursday. Cowboy coaches will be able to better evaluate the team on Friday when the full squad practices together for the first time. It will also be the first practice in full pads.
