Yep. And I’m disappointed that I haven’t gotten more of a reaction about this . I essentially saw the beginnings of a porn video staring two people who were old enough to know better and including the women’s mother sitting right next to them.
ISU needs plays like this in their playbook, too. With Hall's success OU was biting hard at play action and throwing that in there would add a level of mind fuckery in giving defenses something to think about.
Charlie Kolar with a nifty back to the basket spin move on one catch last night also.
No doubt that Hall was easily the Player of the Game IMO.
But Kene's kick return was the Play of the Game IMO.
Hall had several runs where he got extra yards out of a difficult situation (turning losses into gains).
Rose was a beast, esp. in the 2nd half.
I'd say those are your offensive and defensive players of the game.

Defensive Stats:
Observations:
- Mike Rose with 11 tackles, 1.5 TFL - he was very, very good
- Only 2 sacks, but they came at key times
- Ogamba, the kicker, recorded a solo tackle!

No issues that I noticed at the game. Gate #5 traffic was comfortable going in, a bit cramped heading out. Everyone was masked up in the Section 6 area. They definitely did not space us 6 ft apart, but didn't have any concerns. Nice to not have to wait 1.5 hrs to leave the parking lot. I'll be doing it again next Saturday!
That is not the type of play you would want to run with LBers biting and coming up to fill the gaps. Its also difficult to run against a 4 man line, ISU in a 3 man Dline makes for bigger holes.
The best play that OU ran last night was the TD's to the FB, the left guard and tackle pulled out to the left, play action the back to make it look like a run to the left, and the FB slides to the right in front of the back. He then squats like he is blocking backside, and gets lost in the wash. Then slides out to the right. Every one has cleared up field, Bailey was confused on the second play, slid up, and let the FB run right past him. If he goes with the FB, then the QB should have an open lane on the right outside to get yards. Just a difficult play to defend unless your are playing zone, and the corner sits and then picks up the FB.

Young could not have possibly run a better route to the ball. Excellent vision.
As many have already commented, the game plan last night was huge. As Barry Tramel pointed out, the vast majority of Brock's passing yards came on first down.
I haven't re-watched the game, but what seemed to work on the play was how after the linebackers bit on the run fake, they all bailed on the play as an obvious passing situation, I think one ISU LB may have even turned his back to the ball to get after the wideout/TE going across the middle, and the tailback was able to easily operate in space after they vacated it. My thought was that using this occasionally, whether as effective as OU was with it or not, knowing you have a tendency to make that pitch might delay the coverage LB enough to make for easier pitch and catch on those moderate routes over the middle.
