TEMPE, Ariz. -- Oklahoma State wrapped up practice for the Insight Bowl with a short practice session today.

Coach Mike Gundy's Cowboys will battle Indiana in Monday's Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. Gundy says he's pleased with how his team has prepared for the Hoosiers.

He says there's a lot of enthusiasm, and the players enjoy each other. With all the camaraderie and fellowship, Gundy says it was enjoyable to watch them spend time together this week.

Gundy says the Cowboys have gone through much the same routine as they did in preparing for last year's Independence Bowl, in which OSU defeated Alabama.

Gundy says OSU is a better football team this year and is further along in its program than it was last year.
