The Cougars are 6-0 and coming off a good win against Arizona. BYU has a short week to prepare for Oklahoma State on Friday night. On Monday, BYU unveiled the depth chart for Oklahoma State. There were a few changes to the depth chart for Oklahoma State compared to the depth chart for Arizona, primarily on defense. Below is the complete depth chart along with commentary.

Quarterback

1. Jake Retzlaff

No changes to the quarterback depth chart. Jake Retzlaff has done enough through six weeks to end any debate about a quarterback controversy.

Running Back
