What if the OU’s coaching staff didn't use most of the playbook today? So that Pitt doesn’t have film on some of the plays they feel like are “home run hitters”. It seemed like they didn’t take big shots down field at all today. It was mostly runs or short passes.
Russell made an even more interesting observation on the air (I always listen to his calls when I'm at the game), and he said at one point we were running plays we probably wouldn't run again the whole year just to confuse our next opponent. Made 'em prepare for things we are not planning to do. That's one better than just not using all the playbook. The more I thought about, the more it seemed to me that Frank was certainly clever enough to do something like that, though he'd never admit it in public!
