I doubt we've run every play we will this season but we're probably at 85% of what we'll run throughout the year where the 15% are wrinkles added for specific opponents.

This sort of thing is always so strange.
No, you never hold back the play book. Ever. You run things, see what's working and what the other team is struggling with, and if you find success with something, you stay in the lane of it, until they figure out how to stop it.
Does that mean you've seen every single play in the playbook? No.
Does it mean that there won't be a targeted play or two put in every week to exploit some look or tendency on behalf of the opponent? No
However, no one *ever* sits in a press box and says 'Hey, Bob, we have Texas A&M in 3 weeks, so we're only going to run the odd numbered pages in our playbook until then.'
No one holds a damned thing back by design.

I would think we still have a look or two up our sleeve.
In addition to holding a thing or two back for the right/required time, I think we have been limiting it a bit to help solidify the Oline play.

Yes.
But not because we have been hiding plays.
More along the lines of O-line developing slowly and not putting too much on them.
Our options with the play book will grow as the young O-linemen get experience and develop.
