The Oklahoma Sooners have been pretty good against the traditional running game in three of their last four games. Removing the quarterback run game from the equation, the Oklahoma Sooners held Iowa State, West Virginia, and Oklahoma State to just 1.9 yards per carry on 80 attempts. The quarterback run game has been a problem, but even that was improved against Oklahoma State.
Yes, the Baylor Bears got to Oklahoma on the ground for 281 rushing yards. But Baylor runs on everybody.
Texas Tech can run the ball. They’re averaging 151 yards per game on the ground. However, Shough isn’t a big part of their designed run game. He’ll get outside the pocket and pick up yards on scrambles, but they’re not running a lot of designed quarterback runs.
If Oklahoma can slow down Tahj Brooks and Sa’Rodorick Thompson, it’ll put Shough and the Red Raiders into some long down and distances and help the Sooners get off the field on third down.
