Zac the Man in Stillwater
Lost in the what’s-wrong-with-Bobby Reid talk and the Mike Gundy tirade against Jenni Carlson is this: OSU now plays its best quarterback. Zac Robinson can’t make all the throws that Reid could make, but he makes enough, and he tops it with excellent running ability.
Scrambles and options and quarterback draws, Robinson uses them all to gobble up yards and move the chains. Robinson is a better runner than Reid, which doesn’t seem like it ought to be so. Reid is bigger and faster. But Robinson has instincts and the desire to run. Robinson gained 116 yards on 13 carries against Texas Tech, giving OSU just its second 100-yard rushing quarterback since 1977. The Cowboys gorged Tech for 366 yards. It’s very difficult to lose a ballgame in which you rush for 366 yards, though OSU came close.
Gundy has had a brewing quarterback controversy for several games, dating back to last season. Why was Robinson in at the end of the Bedlam game last season? Now we know. Coaches thought he gave them the best chance to win that game.OSU is all-in on that idea. No quarterback controversy in Stillwater. Zac Robinson is the man.
