OSU Bullets

•  Doug Meacham isn’t sure who will start at quarterback against Texas Tech (PFB)

#OKState interim coach Doug Meacham says this weekend could be a platoon QB situation between Sam Jackson V and Zane Flores or either guy could play the whole game. Said he’ll need to evaluate how far along Flores is at practice.

• The Cowboy offense showed progress this week with a new playcaller (PFB)

What a SUPER COOL play this was!
OSU ran the craziest version of the “mesh” route I’ve ever seen. In the “mesh” route you have a shallow cross from each side, hoping the defenders get rubbed, and the QB has an open crosser and an easy throw with lots of yards after catch.
