A Very Large Issue for the Cowboys at Iowa State: Tight Ends

STILLWATER – Tight ends are a valuable position for most offenses. There were days when people like Mike Leach at Texas Tech and Sonny Cumbie at TCU forgot that tight ends were necessary. In fact, to some of the spread offenses that were prevalent in the Big 12 tight ends were non-existent. That is not the case anymore as everybody is lining up with tight ends. Oklahoma State calls there guys “Cowboy backs.” Oklahoma uses them more as unattached jumbo receivers.
