STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) _ Linebacker Chris Collins is the latest Oklahoma State defender to earn a black shirt from new defensive coordinator Tim Beckman.

The black shirts are given to players who are playing at the highest level and are used to keep the team accountable.

Collins led the Cowboys with 10 tackles in their 35-14 loss to Georgia last week, when Oklahoma State struggled with bad tackling.

Oklahoma State plays Florida Atlantic Saturday night in Stillwater.
