The Untold Struggles Terrorizing Ollie Gordon’s Oklahoma State Season Revealed

Given Oklahoma State’s preference for a widely aligned spread offense, perhaps eight-man boxes aren’t the best measuring stick. What really matters is whether Oklahoma State has enough blockers to handle all of the guys trying to tackle Gordon. But in fact, Gordon has had more chances to run against even or favorable boxes than all but two Big 12 running backs.

Gordon has taken 74 of his 101 carries on downs in which Oklahoma State had at least as many blockers in the box (offensive linemen, tight ends, closely aligned receivers, and fullbacks) as the opposition had defenders. (This calculation doesn’t include quarterbacks or running backs, who could make the numbers even more favorable with option concepts.)
