As for the “Walsh Package,” Walsh's first play against the Tigers was a 13-yard run to the right side, before Joseph Randle broke a 38-yard to the 6-yard line. In a way, that long run may have ruined the Cowboys' plans to experiment more with the package, and Jeremy Smith scored two plays later.
Against Arizona, Walsh came in for a fourth-and-1 at midfield in the second quarter and was stopped short of the first down. The play started in the diamond formation with backs Randle, Jeremy Seaton and Kye Staley, before Seaton motioned to Walsh's right side. Walsh ran to his right on the keeper, but could not get past the sticks.
“Obviously, it didn't work very good,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “Tried to get a yard and got a half-a-yard. I don't think that falls on J.W. I think it falls on the way it was blocked. At that time, you'd like to think you can get a yard.”
SILENCE NOT ALWAYS GOLDEN
