Cowboys too cutesy
Oklahoma State managed only one first down in its first three possessions.
The problem: the Cowboys were trying to be too cute.
There were swing passes and gadget plays, and the results were absolutely terrible. Against a team like Florida Atlantic, you just need to line up and shove the ball down their throats.
On its fourth possession, OSU finally took it right up the gut. After a long Perrish Cox punt return, the Cowboys ran a designed draw up the middle for Bobby Reid, a run around the left side for Keith Toston and another run right up the middle for Toston. He went almost untouched into the end zone.
No need to get cute with a team that you’re so much better than. Just take it to ‘em. If the Cowboys keep that up, they’ll roll.
