Oklahoma State QB Alan Bowman previews South Dakota State; 2024 season goals and more

South Dakota State what have you seen of them on T I mean we're everyone's talking about it 29 in a row back-to-back national champions um they have a winning culture for a reason people say Hey you know we got a lot of guys leave it but I think um they're a really good team they're disciplined they know what to do they're never um in the wrong spot so we're going to have to be um extremely disciplined and and take it to him seven years as a player college is there anything you haven't seen and and and can how can that help the team from that stand yeah you know we've seen a lot been a part of a lot been a part of a lot of good teams so I think kind of my time at Michigan um I saw what championship football looks like what college football playoff caliber teams look like and then on some on the flip side of some Texas Tech where we didn't make a bowl game for three years so I've seen what kind of bad culture looks like in a way and how and how to work out of that so just you could say experience but all the life lessons that I've learned and seen I you could say I've seen a lot almost all you can see in college football but there will be more this season that I probably couldn't could imagine to prepare for that all see but when you got as many guys coming back offense and defense did you come into the Camp looking for things places make yeah definitely I think we started the year not looking that was our one of our first meetings as a unit was just a complacency right there was a a good analogy coach gave us coach dun talked about the Iowa State team with Barack pie and all those guys they won the uh Fiesta Bowl against Oregon or they went 11 wins or something like that everybody came back and then they won six games after that right so I think maybe they got a little bit of complacency so from the first day in January we've been looking at looking at it and stomping it out okay so this close to your first game of your last season right the ending oh you have the ending written in your mind yeah everything happens twice once in your mind and then in real life I definitely believe that yeah no big 12 championship for sure um and make make a run in the culture B playoff and did going last year back to Houston after you played there to watch the national game what did that do for you we could be here you know I I I think where there was no doubt we could be there especially this year in the talent that we have and the talent that I've seen that I know is on that team um that we can compete with anybody I was gav fre looked really good yeah yeah yeah no he's been uh we call him G freaky I me he's a freak athlete uh his change of Direction his speed um I think he's going to definitely surprise some people on Saturdays when he get the ball and say he's electric so try to find different ways kind of as BP you know he can kind of do all the things that BP can um so we won have to rely on 80 as much so we can kind of keep in for the long stretch of the season so to kind of have a onew punch like that's been pretty good he's done really well
