We had 2 more possessions in the 2nd half and scored the same amount of points
Hubbard had right at twice as many carries in the 2nd half and Sanders had right at half the amount of carries in the 2nd half then he did in the first.
We attempted 1 less pass in the 2nd half with 2 more possessions.
Hubbard doubled his amount of carries in the 3rd quarter while Sanders only had 1 carry
All that while scoring the same amount of points with 2 extra possessions
We leaned on Hubbard in the 2nd half and it worked this time as he had 193 yards.
But, we were more efficient in the 1st half when we were spreading it around better and running better scheme.
Effiicieny has more sustainability

Zac Robinson was a 3 star dual threat QB out of hs that truly progressed while at OSU. His Frosh year he had less than a 50% completion rate and a 125.3 QB rating. By his Jr year he completed 65% of his passes, generating a 166.8 rating, and was also a legitimate run threat. His stats fell back a little his Sr year as he played with injuries. Durability, especially in college, is always a potential issue with dual threat QB's.
Patience. We seem to think we are the only team that suffers through some tough early times with a young QB. He has had one truely bad game, and it was a stinker versus Tech. Part of the issues there is it was poor showing by the team as well. That game cost us dearly this season as Tech hasn't won another conference game. Right now we could have been in the hunt for the Big 12 crown had we won that game.
We are playing better football on both sides of the ball and were able to overcome several starters being out to win over a pretty good team. Yeah, we have progressed.

Balanced by game. Not balanced by either half. Some of Spencer’s carries also weren’t on designed or option runs. The first half they were
I think the coaches went in at half time and realized the best player on the field only touched the ball 8 times

Hubbard had 13 carries for 193 in the 2nd half
154 of that was on 2 runs.
That means he averaged 3.5 yards per carry on all the rest of his carries
That's explosive, but it's not efficient
You really think at half Patterson said
"Hey guys..... I know their best receiver is out, I know their qb has been turnover proned, I know they have the Nation's leading rusher, but let's make sure they don't throw to beat us. I don't care if Hubbard beats us in the run game as long as they don't throw to beat us"
Of course that's not what his adjustments were.
They missed on a stunt and ran it wrong which parted the waters for one of the cross country runs.
I actually haven't watched it back, but going with what Patterson said about it.

Like I said...
We rushed for 307 yards against Patterson's defense, most of which came in the second half. If you don't think that had anything to do with adjustments and scheme
Well.....
You're not as smart as you think you are.
Also...
Chuba is the first back to rush for more than 200 yds against a Patterson defense. I don't give a damn if he did it with 2-99 yd runs and a lot of 1 yd runs. Missed on a stunt is a lame excuse.
So...
This is fun typing like this.

The 2nd half had to do with 2 runs
1 of which happened because TCU run a stunt wrong
At least according their coach.
The rest was not very good
I"ve already said that
And no.....
I don't think Patterson made adjustments to firce us to run to beat them as I said earlier as well
I just got through watching the 1st hlaf and it was absolutely bad ass in terms of how we atracked them.
It's the blue print of how we need to use Sanders
Sanders played really, really well in the 1st half
The fade to Stoner was a dime
The tining pass to Wolf was really, really good
The play he made to get the ball to Stoner on the long touchdown was great
The way he ran was great.

Must we complain about something? The goal of playing isn't to give Hubbard rest or get Sanders pass attempts or make sure the experts on Orange Power give a passing grade (which I'm convinced is impossible anyway) - the goal is to win the game. Depending on how your team is playing or who has the hot hand, you have to adjust. We won the game- period. Our defense is improving, Sanders is limiting mistakes and we have a couple games ahead we should be favored to win. If you can limp through 2019 and win 8-10 games with the youth we've got, you have something tremendous to build on.

100% agree
I made that exact statement about 8 or 9 wins earlier.
I'm actually very excited about how we used Sanders in the 1st half.
I would rather have an offense that scores because it's efficient like the 1st half vs. an offense that relies on big plays like the 2nd half.
That's the discussion here. It's nit about complaining.

2nd long run wss the exact same play out of the exact same formation.
And....
Again...
TCU had 8 in the box
Their field and cloud cornet were both in the box playing run.
Our line just simply whipped their ass and Chuba broke an ankle tackle.
Damn Chuba is good
Trying to defense the speed of both Sanders and Hubbard is a nightmare for defenses
