Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. West Virginia

[Chairman of the Board]

I think going forward, as Dunn does start to get a little more creative with the offense, I'd like to see Nixon and Ollie on the field at the same time.

Nixon is still a weapon, and I'm not sure he saw the field yesterday (not griping, Ollie was the man). With all of the injuries at WR, I think Nixon is one of our biggest threats.

To me, if we have our most dangerous guys on the field it goes:

Gordon
Presley
Nixon
Owens
Green/Bray

Of course we're getting some good looks with the TE's who are actually getting some good blocks, so I'm not saying we always have that group, but just more of it. Perhaps could make us more explosive in the passing game, which is something we have been missing.

Nixon was out there for sure on returns...and I recall a few plays in relief for OG.

Ok. Had zero touches from LOS though. Again, it was fine b/c Ollie was unstoppable.

I would not be opposed to OG or Nixon taking some direct snaps with both of them in the backfield.

Dis could be fun!

Yes. That would be fun. Nice short yardage package, and bring Pressley in motion and run power read/jet sweep/all kinds of fun stuff.

Yes. That would be fun. Nice short yardage package, and bring Pressley in motion and run power read/jet sweep/all kinds of fun stuff.

Would require the defense to account for and defend all 11 spots. (yes I know Bowman ran for a TD and will pull it but which set up would you rather defend against? )

 

[Rezpoke]

I like seeing Ollie run, but I'd also like to give him some rest periodically. It's a long season, and he won't hold up forever at 30+ carries a game.

You are right.He takes a pouding on every play and if he goes down we are screwed.

Ollie played QB in high school at Euless Trinity because he was the best athlete on the team so he definitely could do it and probably well!!!
