Despite Ollie Gordon II's stellar sophomore season, which landed him the Doak Walker Award and a projected first-round pick in next year's draft, OSU head coach Mike Gundy wants something to change for Gordon.
Gundy doesn’t want Gordon to endure the same workload he did in 2023. During OSU’s annual team media day on Aug. 3, Gundy shed light on the potential of others in the running back room complementing Gordon’s skillset. And hopefully, Gundy said, it will deprive Gordon of a ballooned carry total, like the 24 carries Gordon averaged per game after the first three game's of the season last year.
