Oklahoma State offensive line improves during three-game winning streak
Summary

Oklahoma State's offensive line has shown marked improvement, contributing to a three-game winning streak as they prepare to face UCF on Saturday. After struggling in their season opener against Tulsa, where they allowed multiple sacks and had poor run support, the line's performance has drastically changed, with averages of 6.1 yards per carry and only one sack in the last three games. Key to this turnaround has been a mindset shift among the linemen, who have emphasized cohesion and accountability. The squad anticipates the return of junior Braydon Nelson, who is set to debut against UCF, potentially adding further strength to the unit.
