STILLWATER — Chuba Hubbard took the handoff and headed between the tackles like he has so many times this season. Heck, like he had several times already Saturday night.
But unlike so many of his carries, there was no room. No daylight. Only defenders.
Then the next snap, it happened again. Handoff. No lane. Short gain.
And in those moments late in the first half, this Bedlam game turned. Oklahoma decided to pack defenders close to the line and make rushing yards difficult to come by for Oklahoma State’s standout tailback. The Sooners were daring the Cowboys to win by throwing the ball.
