Stopping Baylor QB Zach Smith is one thing, but doing the same with dual-threat Texas QB Sam Ehlinger is an entirely new challenge the OSU coaching staff faces this weekend in Austin.
Mike Gundy spoke highly of Ehlinger, whose team is coming off a 5-point loss to OU Saturday, and noted the youngster has a combination of skills that’s worked well leading into Saturday’s tilt.
“Quarterback’s playing good,” said Gundy. “He throws it, he runs it. Does a little bit of everything.”
As is the key with any dual-threat QB, OSU must limit opportunities for Ehlinger to break open the game with his legs.
