After averaging nearly 80 plays per game a season ago, Oklahoma State recorded another victory with their play total in the 50s. The Cowboys defeated TCU 34 – 27 this past Saturday and did it again by hitting on multiple long scoring plays. Below I’ll cover my key takeaways from the OSU offense against the Horned Frogs.
Creativity and Motion
In last season’s 31-24 loss to Gary Patterson’s TCU squad, the Pokes went mainly 10 personnel (one running back and no tight ends) with four receivers split out wide. Even when they went 11 personnel, they primarily had the Cowboy Back split out, as opposed to on the line of scrimmage, lined up as the H-back or lined up in the backfield.
