STILLWATER, Okla. - The explosive Oklahoma State offense was picked as the top offensive unit in the nation going into the 2009 season by CollegeFootballNews.com today.
The web site's reasoning for placing the Cowboys in the nation's top spot: "Want to beat Oklahoma State? You might have to put 45 points on the board just to hang around with Zac Robinson and the Cowboys...After finishing seventh in the nation in total offense two years ago, the OSU offensive machine was even better finishing sixth in the country averaging 488 yards and 41 points per game. Possibly the nation's most balanced and efficient attack, there are four superstars to build around in QB Zac Robinson, WR Dez Bryant, OT Russell Okung, and RB Kendall Hunter, with Bryant and Hunter likely to be among the top ten players taken in the 2010 NFL Draft."
The rest of the top 10 included No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 3 USC, No. 4 Florida, No. 5 Texas, No. 6 Georgia, No. 7 Ohio State, No. 8 Illinois, No. 9 LSU and No. 10 Oregon.
The web site also ranked position groups, placing OSU's quarterbacks, running backs and offensive line all fourth in the nation, respectively.
Additionally, the site tabbed Dez Bryant as the nation's top receiver and No. 7 player overall and Russell Okung as the nation's top offensive lineman and No. 38 player overall.
