Daily Bullets (September 25)

Expansion of the offense?

This 2015 team isn’t what everyone thinks it is. (PFB)

Here’s Mike Yurcich: “You put in a wrinkle or two and it causes (the defense) some adjustments on the sideline. After the first one or two series, you like for them to come to the sideline and have to discuss what we threw at them. So you want to keep them guessing.” (NewsOK)

Prepping for Austin

Texas is trotting out Texas Tech-type players, but with Bevo on the jersey, they’re still getting everyone’s best shot. It’s not a fair fight. (NewsOK)

Mason Rudolph compares Austin to a SEC atmosphere. He’s going to be surprised when it’s not even close. (PFB)

J.W.: “This is a huge game. Win at a place like Texas, and it can catapult your team to another level.” (ESPN)

Longhorns fans like and respect Strong as a person and believe in what he stands for, but there are starting to be some rumblings that he’s not the right guy for the job. How things go in the next month or so will determine whether that fringe narrative begins to coalesce into a more prevalent line of belief. (CRFF)

Boone Pickens doesn’t want to see Jerrod Heard either. (PFB)

Oklahoma State’s running game has been shaky through the first three games. But the recipe to winning in Austin will be controlling the line of scrimmage and running the ball against a rush defense that ranks 120th in the country. (ESPN)

Mike Gundy: “We’ve had a lot of success in the state of Texas. This is a big game for us in recruiting. There are so many players that’ll watch this game from the state of Texas.” (FOX)

Four things to watch for this weekend. (PFB)
