That happens when the other team snaps it only 50 times and just 21 of those came in the first half as NU established a 30-7 halftime lead. Because of that, NU's top four defensive linemen of Ty Robinson, Nash Hutmacher, Jimari Butler and Cameron Lenhardt all played 21 snaps or less.

Everything Mike Gundy said after Oklahoma State's season opening win against South Dakota State
The Cowboys ended the Jackrabbits' 29-game winning streak with a steady 44-20 win to begin the season 1-0 for a tenth-straight season. "It was a really good win. First game of the season, which, we all know is always a little scary, (but) not quite as much for us this year with all the returning starters. But as I have said for months, (SDSU) doesn't make a lot of mistakes. They're very well coached. They're tough. We had to take the game from them, like I thought we would have to; they weren't gonna give us the game. They had opportunities at times. A couple of times we dropped coverage and they had a chance to hit it, make a play, but they didn't. Sometimes that works for you, sometimes it doesn't. Those are areas we need to be better in, but overall, I was pleased with the performance. From a discipline standpoint, we only had one penalty, which is really good. And I thought we were good in special teams, not excellent, because we gave up a couple of returns --- too many yards --- and we missed tackles. But overall in special teams, our ability to punt, flip the field, down the ball inside the 5-yard line and perform in the P.A.T. field goal was really good. So, we're good in special teams, good in penalties, good in hidden yards. We rushed the ball for 127 yards, 38 carries. We're a little bit under what we should be. We should be about almost a yard more per carry. But overall, it was good for us. Got a lot of work to do. I shared with those guys that in all three phases there's gonna be some really good video, based on what I was told on the headphones from the tablets. Because, obviously, we can watch video on the tablets now, so we know a lot more during the game than we used to. So, it'll be some really good teaching as we move forward. (It) gives us a chance to relax more tonight."

Temple/Oklahoma rewatch: Brock’s progress under the microscope

Q&A: Mark Stoops after Kentucky's 31-0 win over Southern Miss
A very strange situation there. I've been here 12 years and never been through the delays like that. I was proud of our team. We had felt like that this could happen today. We talked about it all week and I talked with you about it and I talked with the team about being so excited for game one. And burning all of that energy too early. Whether it is pregame warm-up or waiting for the game to start. Low and behold we get here and what, two hour delay, is that what it was? Something like that. And the players handling that and coming out and playing relatively clean. We had to burn a timeout early with a substitution, you know, that's on us. Honestly, one of our players couldn't hear. It cuts out on what personnel we were trying to get in there.
Report Card: Mississippi State 56, Eastern Kentucky 7
Solid. Not outstanding, but solid in the way a SEC front line ought perform in this sort of matchup. And it was to these eyes at least a clean kind of evening, after the opening snap and pressure that is. Consider, a completely rebuilt unit made mostly of guys playing elsewhere a year ago took care of their business without much any obvious distress. There was the early adjustment which eventually meant Albert Reese played three positions; and I need to research if State scored a touchdown with him at all three. That'd be some sort of MSU record, surely? If we're getting ticky there were some left-side lapses leading to less-successful snaps than were available. And some interior running got clogged at contact. So maybe the mixing and matching needs more development. But, nobody jumped the counts that I recall, none were caught holding ditto, Ethan Miner's snaps were on target, and maybe most of interest everyone got in position in time to keep the tempo for everyone. Being a bunch of old guys, they ought only get better.
