Oklahoma State running back Chris Carson hurdles a defender during the Cowboys' 32-8 victory against Central Arkansas at Boone Pickens Stadium on Sept. 12.
The Cowboys rank last in the Big 12 and 103rd in the country in rushing yards per game, with 138.2.
Over the past few weeks, criticism of the run blocking has been audible all over Stillwater. In what has otherwise been a solid season, the running game stands out like a pimple on prom night.
The players aren’t deaf to the criticism; they’ve heard the cries and are working to fix the problem.
