Watch: Mike Gundy Discusses 48-34 Road Win Over West Virginia
Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy met with the media following the Cowboys’ 48-34 road win over West Virginia on Saturday.
The Cowboys combined for an impressive 491 total yards, with running back Ollie Gordon rushing for 282 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries.
“The thing that’s been good is we’ve gone on several weeks now that when we have to rush the ball in the fourth quarter we can run it,” head coach Gundy said on the Cowboy Radio Network. “We’re blocking and we’re going downhill and we’re running the same plays. We’re not trying to get out of our box. After the South Alabama game, I made a suggestion to the offense, ‘I might be right or wrong, but Ollie [Gordon] needs to run straight ahead.’ Fortunately, it’s worked. We’ve built the system around that and what’s interesting with him, he almost gets stronger as the game goes on. You see that with some backs, but it’s pretty rare. His power and running and cutting and stiff arming, I’m really impressed with what he’s done in the fourth quarter these past few games.”
