Alston holds a starter spot on Tulsa's opening depth chart against Oklahoma State, per the team's game notes.
Analysis:Alston seemed a likely candidate for a sizable role with Tulsa after transferring to the team following three consecutive seasons with contributions of varying levels at Auburn. His placement atop the depth chart seemingly confirms that, though he'll face a difficult Week 1 matchup in a Big 12 foe. That said, the Cowboys are expected to run an uptempo offense under the team's new head coach in Eric Morris, so there should be some opportunity for Alston to get some carries in this one.
