Pull. Pull. Crease. Gone.
Compared to run-game staples across college football like inside zone, outside zone, and power, the guard-tackle counter isn’t nearly as ubiquitous, but the Oklahoma Sooners arguably run it as well as any team in the country.
As a result, defensive coordinator Todd Orlando has the task of preparing his defense to face a running play that, at best, isn’t a base play in the Longhorns offense. Certainly, even if Texas ran it, the scout team could not and can not replicate Oklahoma’s overall aptitude running this play, which is a credit to Sooners offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh and his evaluations and developmental ability.
