A couple of things we did last night that I liked…
They slow trotted subs in on D to slow OU down.
Gundy’s been showing everybody for years how to do this, yet few coaches have picked up on it. It’s infuriating for the other team, sure, but it’s gamesmanship within the rules, it’s fair game, deal with it. When you run a fast offense like OU does, you gotta squeeze out any opportunity to slow them down. I’m just surprised it’s taken this long for Iowa State to figure it out.
Then, of course, there was the time the Cyclones were trying to send in about 8 defensive subs when OU hadn’t subbed at all, and the Sooners would have snapped it with 16 or 17 Cyclones on the field if Campbell hadn’t called a time out. Baby steps, I guess.
