Cowboys To Run Left Against 'Dogs

    Oklahoma State has an All-American OT named Russell Okung. NFL scouts project him as the top tackle in college football and a first round draft pick come spring. It should be no suprise that Coach Gundy has plans to run Kendall Hunter, the talented OSU RB, behind Okung. That would be a run play to the left. 
    If you had a dominating left tackle, how many times would you run behind him? Early and often. Thought so.
    The Georgia defense better get ready to stop this play. Should be written in big bold letters, in the defensive meeting room. STOP RUN TO OUR RIGHT. STOP THE RUN TO THEIR LEFT. FIND OKUNG AND EXPECT THEM TO RUN BEHIND HIM.
    Okung will most likely be lined up on Rod Battle, Demarcus Dobbs, or Marcus Wahington. Justin Houston would have matched up better but he's suspended. Might want to line Kiante Tripp across from Okung just to have a bigger body there.  I know this is outside the box, but move one of those tackles out there, in an effort to be more physical against Okung on run downs. Just a thought. Doubt if I would be using any of those young dudes against Okung (Montez Robinson, etc).
    The only comforting this about the Cowboys offense running left is that's the side Rennie Curran roams. He might have 25 tackles in this game.
