There’s no confusion about the deadliest part of Oklahoma State’s offense.
“That’s really who we are here,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy says. “We throw the ball deep a bunch. We just keep chunking it over your head, and we run the ball a little bit. And the threat of what we can do throwing the ball over your head is kind of who we are on offense.”
So yeah, it’s natural. But’s also an acquired skill. There’s no way to prove the claim, but Gundy figures Oklahoma State practices throwing deep more than most other teams.
