Texas DC Todd Orlando weighs in on controversial Oklahoma State alignment on fourth-down play

Make no mistake — Oklahoma State Cowboys head coach Mike Gundy and his players left it all on the field against the Texas Longhorns last Saturday in Stillwater.

One play that indicated the level of aggressiveness from Gundy, in addition to his willingness to push the boundaries of the rules, came on the 4th and 1 from the Texas 16-yard line with the game tied at 7-7 and 6:43 left in the first quarter.

The Pokes lined up in I formation, with two tight ends to the field.

The key to the play’s legality is whether Jelani Woods, the tight end lined up next to the right tackle, is an eligible receiver.
