Why Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris has labeled Cowboys as team of 'misfits'
Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris has a fun way to describe his Cowboys in his first year, and it's a way he's approaching the psychology of the team.
Stillwater — Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris has a novel perspective on his team in his inaugural season. He refers to them as "misfits" due to the variety of backgrounds and experiences among the 88 new players, including 59 transfers and 22 first-year recruits. Morris highlights the sudden success of triplets Drew Mestemaker, Caleb Hawkins, and Wyatt Young, who were either not recruited heavily or had minor success before bursting onto the scene at North Texas.
The coach is also focusing on the psychological aspects of building this new team, citing the growth of quarterback Chandler Morris, who struggled with quitting football but now shows immense confidence. Morris emphasizes the importance of belief and mental fortitude in helping the Cowboys achieve success. With OSU's recent two-season Big 12 drought, Morris believes fostering the growth mindset of his players will be crucial in the team's revival.
