Stat of the Week: Like Gundy, Using Yards per Attempt to Evaluate Run Game

[Devin Wilber/PFB]

It’s an obvious statement to remind you that I don’t know as much about the sport of football and evaluating teams than the guys who get paid to coach the game professionally like Mike Gundy.

I do know enough, though, to realize Oklahoma State struggled running the football in 2022 and those woes seem to have carried over after two weeks of this season. Gundy confirmed our assumptions numerous times this offseason that the Cowboys were indeed bad at running the ball last year. Gundy’s not pleased yet with this season’s run performance either.

“Two weeks we’ve gotten away with not running the ball well in the first half,” Gundy said at Monday’s media luncheon.
