Watch: Mike Gundy Looks Ahead to Kansas State Match Up
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy met with the media on Monday morning to try and answer questions about what went wrong offensively in the 22-19 loss to No. 12 Utah, while looking ahead to Kansas State.
“When we’ve had equal numbers in the box or a half-man disadvantage, we’ve run the ball effectively,” Gundy said of the run game. “When we’ve had one or two extra people in the box, we haven’t been as effective, which is kind of the way it’s going to be. So, there’s not anything we need to change from a scheme standpoint. We need to continue to improve a little bit in fundamentals and technique and things we would work on every year.”
He then shifted gears towards trying to limit Kansas State’s offense.
"You've got to control the quarterback. You can't let him take off and run. He's really good. You've got to be careful when you're pass rushing him. If not, he can take off and run. They do a good job on their quarterback run game and then they've been good the last few years on flooding the zones, four and five people getting out eligible to one side of the field and the quarterback keeping the ball and running the other way where the numbers aren't good for the defense. You've got to be able to stop the quarterback run."
