Oklahoma State true freshman Wes Lunt had his first live action Saturday in a closed scrimmage. He got good reviews from coaches as the team ran a 115-play scrimmage.
Cowboy coach Mike Gundy was pleased with the play of Lunt, who directed the offense for most of the scrimmage.
Here is what Gundy said after the scrimmage concerning Lunt.
“We expected him to play well. He will still go through some growing pains, but I was pleased with him and how he handled our offense. A couple times, our running backs got lined up wrong and he adjusted them and got them set, which is not easy to do when you play as fast as we do. His demeanor and temperament was good. I thought he released the ball well in throwing lanes. He got the ball up high. I believe he only had one ball knocked down and our defensive line has been very good at knocking balls down the last year or two and even in the spring. I thought he played well."
Offensive coordinator Todd Monken also commented on Lunt's performance.
“His knowledge has grown of everything. It’s an easy system in a lot of ways because we run simple things, but the reality is that everything falls on him â€" to get us lined up, to get us communicating, to understand what the defense is doing, so the improvement is just the process and the understanding of how we operate. That’s the biggest thing, because he’s going to throw it accurately. He’s going to have pocket presence. It’s just does he really understand getting everyone lined up and when we want to go fast, go fast, where we want our players to be, getting an idea of how I call it. Those things will keep coming and growing. He’s really only about halfway there.â€
