Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich is the best play-caller he has ever worked with after Saturday’s game at Iowa State.
“It sure is a heck of a compliment,” Yurcich said. “But at the end of the day, we have good players, and that’s the reason these plays are working.”
The Cowboys are averaging 43.6 points a game, which ranks seventh in the nation. OSU also ranks 18th in total offense, averaging 497.6 yards a game.
“(Yurcich’s) certainly very intelligent and very creative,” Gundy said. “He’s developed into what I would describe as a good teacher. He’s kind of a young and rising star in this profession. Fortunately, I’ve had him three years now. Hopefully, we can keep him here for a while and let him develop.”
