Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy speaks after the Cowboys' scrimmage on August 20. The Oklahoma State football team held a 125-play scrimmage on the Boone Pickens Stadium turf Saturday.

"The scrimmage started slow for our offense. Their tempo wasn't very good and our best players weren't in the right spots and making plays and our defense played well early. As the scrimmage went on, the offense started making a few plays. The same guys started showing up. I thought our running backs ran hard and took care of the football. Obviously, Weeden threw the ball well. The key receivers, once we got going, made some plays for us.

"I thought Clint Chelf played well. I thought he handled the second team offense well; some of those guys made some key catches. We continue to have guys that start to show up. I thought Ryan Simmons played well as a freshman. I thought Herschel Sims and Desmond Roland - freshmen running backs - both made some plays. Andrae May continues to make plays. I thought Nico Ornelas made a few plays on defense. Obviously, Markelle Martin showed up a few times.

"Overall, we got 125 plays in; it was good work. We were able to get the third team about 20-25 plays, which we wanted to let those guys get some experience. It was a good day for us. We started with the temperature on the turf at 103 degrees and we ended at about 114, which is kind of what we were looking for. So, it was good to get some work in and come back this afternoon and have meetings and watch tape."
