Week 4 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Powerhouses This Weekend?
Oklahoma State will be a tough out on its home field. The Cowboys have started 3-0 despite not getting much at all from running back Ollie Gordon, a preseason Heisman Trophy contender who has barely been able to get out of neutral. Gordon is averaging 3.2 yards per carry and just 1.4 before contact, both ugly marks for one of the most prolific players in NCAA football.
It’s up to the beholder whether that’s a sign that the Pokes will soon take off (hey, they’re winning without a fully operational Gordon!) or a warning of things to come (maybe the offensive line just isn’t up to the task). The offensive line has allowed a 42.9% run disruption rate, which is a bit below average.
