STILLWATER - Oklahoma State's football squad reached a fall camp milestone Tuesday morning when the Cowboys dressed in full pads for the first time since beginning workouts on Friday.
"It was good to get in full pads today," head coach Mike Gundy told the media after practice. "It's nice to play real football and we had a good practice for what probably ended up being close to three hours."
"I thought the guys practiced well today," he added. "I liked the temperature. It was hot so we were able to really exert our players. We continue to see young players who are going to get an opportunity to play."
Gundy cited the performances of several true freshmen, including running back Joseph Randle, receiver Chris Dinkins, defensive backs Lavocheya Cooper and Justin Gilbert, along with offensive lineman Gerron Anthony, and linebacker Shaun Lewis.
"If they continue to play well and stay focused they'll have a chance to play against Washington State," Gundy said. "We have a number of guys, redshirt and true freshmen, who have shown up and made some plays.
The Cowboys will practice again Wednesday and Thursday mornings in advance of Friday's two-a-day workouts and the first scrimmage of the fall on Saturday evening.
