Don't do that. Don't fall into the Gundy trap. Lots of times coaches will be vanilla in the first couple of games, especially against weaker competition, but that doesn't excuse a piss-poor performance like Saturday. OSU ought to be able to run dive 10 times in a row against a team like UCA and still march down the field. If they can't, that means trouble. Likewise, they ought to be able to run base defense in plain cover 2 or 3 and stop UCA. The fact that they couldn't do these things portends a long and troubling season. Also, don't believe the orange kool-aid excuse that UCA is a top FCS team--they're not. They were 5-6 last year. There's no other way you can look at this performance and Gundy's nonchalant attitude and see a good season coming. Also don't believe those who point to the mediocre performance against Missouri St. in 2021 as some kind of sign that this team might also be in the Big 12 championship. That team had elite defense. This team's offense is even worse and the defense is nowhere near the 2021 team's defense.
