Dave: Run game key in Red River Rivalry — for both teams

by

Well the offense looked better, getting points on seven of nine total possessions against Kansas State. The ninth possession being the kneel down to end the game.

However, a glaring problem with the defense got worse as the Wildcats continually converted third and long.

And when they couldn’t, they went ahead and went for it on fourth down and converted four out of five times on those attempts.

Probably both. 

Rattler has no time to throw the ball deep.  The offensive line is not playing well at all.  In any facet of the game. 

And while I can understand that Caleb would give an element of a QB run game, you would be risking injury to the future of the position because Caleb would be running for his life due to the O-lines futility.
