Football News

Some good work here by Thomas Fleming on how OSU flourished in its base offense on Saturday. [PFB]

Ramon Richards on CMU: “All those guys were big dudes. They weren’t the fastest, but they were really physical. Their linemen were huge. Their receivers were physical. Their quarterback was big, physical and had a strong arm. They were a really good offense.” [NewsOK]

So Larry Williams started on Saturday. That’s pretty interesting. [PFB]

Why the defense could be better this year: If OSU’s depth chart is any indication, as many as 26 players seem to be in line to be some part of the defensive rotation. That’s an entire two-deep, and then some. Oklahoma State can go three-deep at defensive tackle and as many as three-deep at the star and weakside linebacker positions. [Tulsa World]

Glenn Spencer on CMU’s QB Cooper Rush: “Just right off the back, personnel-­wise, the quarterback is very well-­respected. We saw Cooper Rush last year and he’s steady. He’s a senior now. He’s put up a lot of yardage. He’s savvy to get free on rush and he’s got a great touch. He can throw the deep­ out cuts. Basically, besides the tight end, they’ve got the whole of­fense back, and they pretty much move the ball on everybody they play.” [Go Pokes – $]

Three things we learned in Week 1 about this team. [PFB]

•CMU QB Rush is good, NFL good
•@bighit20 is a pescatarian ??
•Jeff Carr is one of the quietest people I've ever met.

Recruiting News

Jelani Woods on his visit over the weekend: “The visit went really well. Everything was perfect and we were shown around by coach Mike Groce (assistant recruiting coordinator) and the freshman receiver Tyrell Alexander (out of Lancaster, Texas). I had a great time. My parents enjoyed the visit.” [Go Pokes — $]

OSU recruit LC Greenwood caught a game-winner last weekend. Awesome. [PFB]

Mike Gundy on future freshmen playing: “We were at the pool and chasing chicks all summer; we showed up in August and got in shape. Well, they’re showing up ready when they get here in June.” [O’Colly]
