  Spencer Sanders looked relaxed as he opened his fifth preseason camp as a Cowboy, and fourth as the starter. That look speaks to his comfort level, not his intentions for the OSU offense. When the season goes live, speed is the key in Sanders' mind. "I like playing with tempo," he said. "I like the defense on their heels. I like to keep them guessing. The more I keep you guessing, the more I keep on your heels, you don't know what to call, you don't know what to say. "The better I can keep you edgy, you've got to make quick play calls because I can move the offense pretty fast." Mike Gundy calls Spencer Sanders a 'magician' Twice already this preseason, head coach Mike Gundy has described Sanders as a "magician" in the Cowboy offense based on his in-depth knowledge of the system as a fifth-year senior. Last year, Gundy called Sanders the Tasmanian Devil of quarterbacks.

The amalgam of those two traits could be the special sauce that gets the Cowboys back to running track meets rather than huddling and milking clock and shortening games. Gundy and Sanders never desired to slow the offense down the past two seasons. But rampant injuries and inexperience at positions like offensive line and wide receiver hindered the pace. If you want to know what they would prefer the offense look like, flip on tape of the second half of the Fiesta Bowl, when Sanders led a rally from 21 points down for a 37-35 win over Notre Dame. Sanders threw the ball a career-high 51 times for 371 yards and four touchdowns, but also rushed for 125 yards in the most magnificent performance of his career. "Spencer can play fast," Gundy said. "That's the advantage we have with him. "Playing fast is the responsibility of the quarterback. If we stay healthy, it gives us an opportunity." - Daily Oklahoman
