Eric Morris knows it’s a problem. The Oklahoma State Cowboys in short yardage, especially close to the goal line, are not as good as they need to be.

The first two drives of Saturday’s loss to Houston showed those issues once again.

The first drive, after a LaDainian Fields interception, ended with a field goal. OSU was first-and-goal at the Houston 10 and gained just five yards, including a 2-yard run by running back Caleb Hawkins and a 3-yard run by quarterback Drew Mestemaker.

The second drive ended on downs. From the Houston 8-yard line on first-and-goal, the Cowboys ran Hawkins for 5 yards, Hawkins for 1 yard and Mestemaker for a yard before he threw an incompletion on fourth down.

Morris isn’t running from it. In fact, he jokingly asked for suggestions during his press conference on Tuesday.
