In our podcast earlier this week, Carson Cunningham and I disagreed about what we’re going to see in Austin this weekend. Carson thinks OSU is going to open it up a little bit on offense. I don’t think that’s what they’re fundamentally built to do.
This is a team, as it was pointed out to me by friend of the blog Ryan Frakes, that is not unlike that 2013 OSU team that was a Justin Gilbert pick from winning its second Big 12 title in three years. Consistent, if not plodding, on offense, elite on defense and adept at taking the ball away and providing extra possessions.
