Last year, as Oklahoma State struggled mightily running the football, the San Francisco 49ers, a world away, seemed to have had it all figured out. At least Mike Gundy believed so.
Gundy hasn’t been shy about his team’s struggles in the run game last season. The Cowboys averaged 3.4 yards a carry and 125.6 rushing yards a game in 2022. Three times OSU was held under 60 yards rushing. All those woes came while also rotating a pair of young quarterbacks because of multiple injuries at the position.
“I felt that we were behind when we had to play young quarterbacks last year and we didn’t give ourselves as good as chance as we needed to because we couldn’t rush the ball and take the pressure off of them,” Gundy said.
