Mike Gundy had to replace two position coaches this offseason with the departure of running backs coach Marcus Arroyo to Oregon and the dismissal of O-line coach Greg Adkins. All that shuffling followed the best rushing output in four years for the Cowboys.
Why the change? And how do Gundy and Co. keep their running game moving in an upward trajectory?
Adkins shut the door on his future at OSU with recruiting, or a lack thereof. The Cowboys, who are still trying to recover from the empty cupboard left years ago by former O-line coach Joe Wickline, didn’t take a single high school recruit for the offensive line last season.
