Overall, a fairly good list
K-State’s offensive trio checks in at #3 in the Big 12
Wanna guess where ku checked in at ... hee hee.

Hard to argue with Okie State being #1 on the list. The Pokes return two players that could have left early for the NFL, Rudolph (QB) and James Washington (WR). Justice Hill had a promising freshman season at RB.
Hill averaged 5.54 yards per carry. He had over 1,100 rushing yards on 206 rushing attempts.
(IMO, Okie State was the most frustrating loss last season... had we just gone for it on 4th & 1 in Okie State territory).

The good news for Rudolph is that Washington came back for his senior season.
The bad news for Rudolph is that he lost his starting “LEFT” tackle (Salako).
The Pokes lost another O-lineman, who started 8 games last season.
Pokes also lost 2 tight-ends, one was primarily a blocker, the other was used more as a receiver.
And the Pokes lost one of their starting WRs (Seales).

Mayfield carries OU to #2 on ESPN’s Big 12 trio list.
Kind of funny that ESPN assumes that the RB & WR will be really good.
But yes, Mayfield will be a Heisman candidate again.

Actually, I’m surprised that ESPN doesn’t have Texas higher on name alone.

A couple of notes that were not included in K-State’s summary.
Ertz played most of the season with a banged-up shoulder, which limited his passing.
K-State only has to replace a starting guard on the O-line....everyone else back.

I mentioned that Justice Hill averaged 5.54 ypc for the Pokes (very solid)… uuhhmmm, Alex Barnes only averaged 7.89 ypc …just saying.

GO STATE !!
