Local tribal dancers help move the celebration of Indigenous People’s Day down the South Oval Oct. 12, 2015. The proposal to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day was signed by Student Government Association President Alex Byron and OU President David Boren.

HONORING HERITAGE Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrates Native culture

U will celebrate its second annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day Oct. 10 with a day of events and celebration from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Almost exactly one year ago, OU President David Boren and former Student Government Ass ociation president Alex Byron signed a proposal to deem the second Monday of every October Indigenous Peoples’ Day, an action that ushered in both praise and scrutiny from the OU community. The effort to get Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognized began three semesters ago, but a lot has changed since it was first celebrated on campus. In the past year, OU has elevated the former Native American Studies Program to its own department, established the Native Nations Center and created a Tribal Liaison position. Additionally, the enrollment of freshmen Native American students has increased 11 percent. However, Justin Tiger, a chemical engineering sophomore and president of the American Indian Student Association at OU, said he thinks there is progress still to be made. “It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s going to get better. I think we’re on the right route. I don’t think this is something where you flip a switch and say, ‘All these programs are 100 percent inclusive,” he said. Apollonia Piña, a senior in cross-cultural epistemologies in science and math, was the lead organizer of this year’s and last year’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrations. She said this year

she wants to challenge people’s perceptions about indigeneity. “We’re going to have more of (other groups’) perspectives this year,” she said. “I wanted that last year, but we were kind of so rag-tag last minute that I didn’t quite get to plan that, but I really tried to have that be one of the focal points of this year. So when we do our grand entry procession, you’re going to see not just tribal flags, but way more flags of countries representing Mexico, Central America, South America and any other indigenous flags south of the border, if you will, for them.” Traditionally, the second Monday of October represents Columbus Day, which recognizes Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas, which were already inhabited by indigenous peoples. Critics of Columbus Day argue that the holiday masks Columbus’ killing of thousands of indigenous peoples. The Oklahoma City Council has also voted down the observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day for two consecutive years. Jabar Shumate, OU ’s vice president for the university community, said Columbus Day has never had a strong meaning to him, but that he is glad OU has used Columbus Day as an opportunity to understand the university’s and Oklahoma’s connection with Native Americans. “I’m glad that as some may find Columbus Day offensive, that we were able to create a positive opportunity for people to come together,” he said.

President David Boren claps as Native American activist Sarah AdamsCornell exits the stage during Indigenous Peoples’ Day Oct. 12, 2015. The festivities for this year’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day are Monday.

Day is a holiday that speaks violence. He also said he thinks that since the observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day last year at OU, the campus climate has worsened. “Or maybe it hasn’t gotten worse, it’s just become more visible,” he said. “None of these (changes that have occurred in the past year) change the fact that faculty say the word ‘redskins’ to students in the class ... or the way that white professors characterize Native peoples as primitive upon contact or uncivilized or even continue to characterize them that way.” For Piña, Indigenous Peoples’ Day has a significant meaning.

“It’s important to see Indigenous Peoples’ Day as indigenous people — that’s not just people in North America — and we’re still a thriving culture.” APOLLONIA PIÑA, SENIOR IN CROSS-CULTURAL EPISTEMOLOGIES IN SCIENCE AND MATH

“ I t ’s i m p o r t a n t t o s e e Indigenous Peoples’ Day as indigenous people — that’s not just people in North America — and we’re still a thriving culture,” she said. “We still participate in our ceremonies and speak our languages, and they may easily forget history, but we do not easily forget history. We seek to try to be informative of that. The history of Christopher Columbus is just so wrong and false for a lot of reasons.” Boren said in a statement to The Daily that he is proud OU is one of the universities in the U.S. that recognizes Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and that OU resolves “to continue to work together for even more progress in the future.” D a n a B ra n h a m a n d D ai s y Creager contributed to this report.

Innovations come to life at lab Hub gives students creative outlet with 3-D printers, more ANNA BAUMAN @annabauman2

Absorbed by the machinery he was using, Abraham Arredondo didn’t notice that three hours had flown by when he paused to admire his handiwork. Smiling back at him was a photo of him and his girlfriend etched onto a 4-by6 slab of wood, part of a hanging photo collage he was making her to celebrate their six months of dating. “She’s going to be so surprised,” Arredondo said. “She’ll think it’s the coolest thing ever because I made it.” Other students have taken advantage of the technology in the Digital Fabrication Lab of the new Innovation Hub in a variety of ways since its opening Sept. 19, as well, lab director Brandt Smith said. Equipped with a 3-D printer, full woodworking shop, laser-cutting tools, a computer numerically controlled machine and more, the “Fab Lab” is designed to serve all OU students, staff and faculty with creative or entrepreneurial goals, Smith said. “People should be able to come in with a napkin that they drew on at Raising Cane’s last night at 2:30 a.m. and say, ‘I had an idea — is it worth anything? Do you think we could make that?’” Smith said. “And we say, ‘Let’s do it,’ and then we work with them to figure out what that actually looks like

to make their thing.” As an international business and Portugese sophomore, Arredondo said he had never before used such equipment but was able to figure it out through trial and error. In addition to the photo, he said he has also made wooden letters and engraved coasters for his fraternity. “(The fabrication lab employees) are really helpful; they know what they’re doing, but I honestly find it really rewarding to figure it out yourself,” Arredondo said. “When you figure it out

yourself, you just feel accomplished in a way. It really gets your mind working.” Arredondo said he enjoys working in the fabrication

lab as a way to have fun and de-stress, at no cost. “I’m really glad that they’re doing this because this is expensive equipment, and we can just come in here and do it for free, so that’s pretty cool,” Arredondo said. Others not affiliated with OU have also benefitted from using the Innovation Hub’s Fab Lab. Billy Kasko, a petroleum engineering junior who works at the fabrication lab, said he helped a group of local middle school students build a bench with a solar-charging

professional voice sophomore, said she is currently pursuing four patents for a product she is designing. Ciccaglione said she has used the hub as a place to do research and will eventually begin using the Fab Lab to prototype her product. “It really offers you a platform to have a space to work on this creation,” Ciccaglione said. “It’s just nice being able to come down here and talk to Brandt (Smith) or talk to really any of the employees about different ideas if you’re struggling with something, kind of putting multiple minds together to be able to figure it out. It really is nice to have a place you can come to and really feel secure and safe in working on a project.” Smith said the Innovation Hub was designed with the intent of serving students with entrepreneurial dreams who would not otherwise have access to such a facility. “We said, ‘Let’s make a space that is dedicated to any OU student who wants to start a company, wants to pursue a dream like that, and let’s give them access to tools to create a product, if that’s what their dream is,’” Smith said. In addition to the Fab Lab, the Innovation Hub also includes study areas designed for collaboration, reservable rooms, a functioning classroom, a virtual reality lab and offices for the Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth.

station. “On top of the bench is a solar panel that has cables that are routed down to the bench area where they can plug their phone in, charge their phone and hang out,” Kasko said. “It was (the middle schoolers’) first time using CAD, and we got to help them actually make the bench, so that was pretty cool.” In addition to recreational use, some students are pursuing serious goals at the Innovation Hub.

OU decreases water, electrical utilities per student since 2012 Awards to college praise sustainable plans and practices KAYLA BRANCH @kayla_branch

The amount of electric and water-based resources used at OU’s Norman campus has decreased from 2012 to now, despite student enrollment increasing in the same time period. The increase in students, though slight, has not caused an increase in resource use. Instead, the amount of utilities per student required to operate the campus has decreased approximately 8 percent since 2012, said Sarah Ballew, the Energy Conservation and Sustainability Officer in OU Facilities Management. “In regards to utility purchases, the university’s campus-wide energy use intensity has decreased by 9 percent and our water utilization has decreased by 4 percent,” said Ballew. “So this has caused the amount of utilities per student to go down.” This decrease is due to multiple efforts on the part of the university, Ballew said. “I think being environmentally sustainable is a top priority for the university because you see a number of initiatives being enacted, whether it is related to electricity or whether it is investments in building infrastructure, such as the roofs,” Ballew said. “There are a number of projects happening.” These projects include replacing heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently, fixing leaky roofs to better insulate buildings and implementing LED lighting, among other things, Ballew said. Between 2012 and 2015, OU used 120 to 170 million kilowatt hours of electricity, 200 to 220 million gallons of water and 1.1 to 1.4 million British Thermal Units of natural gas, Ballew said. “The time period I looked at was fiscal years 2012 to 2015, because that gave a consistent view of the bills that we had for electricity and natural gas, as well as square footage because the campus has changed size,” said Ballew. Along with campus use of resources in 2012 to 2015, OU recycled 565 to 600 tons of

paper, 200 tons of cardboard, 3.9 to 4.1 tons of aluminum and 18.5 to 21 tons of plastic, Ballew said. Ballew said students can get involved in the effort to make campus more sustainable.

“If you consider what is sustainable, there are so many different components and so many behavioral choices that are part of that puzzle. That makes it really easy for people to get involved because you can look at any part of your life and say, ‘What am I doing that isn’t as good as it could be, and what is a first step I can take to be more sustainable?” SARAH BALLEW, ENERGY CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER IN OU FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

water usage are some easy changes students can make. “If you consider what is sustainable, there are so many different components and so many behavioral choices that are part of that puzzle,” Ballew said. “That makes it really easy for people to get involved because you can look at any part of your life and say, ‘What am I doing that isn’t as good as it could be, and what is a first step I can take to be more sustainable?’” Some students on campus have taken up the cause of creating a more sustainable university by creating groups

ing and hiking and we talk about environmental issues, as well as working on a campaign against State Question 777. We also are working with Housing and Food on a freight farm, and these are all things that are happening this semester.” When it comes to OU’s efforts on sustainability, Wiley said things could be better. “The recycling program is good, but it is underfunded, and it could be better,” Wiley said. “But it is hard in the sense of trying to make things better, because you can talk to Boren and say, ‘We need better recycling,’ but if we

don’t have the money for it because of budget cuts, then it’s tough.” OU has won multiple awards in recent years, including the 2015 Green Power Partnership Leadership club, 2014-2015 Green Power Challenge Big 12 Conference Award Winner and the 2015 GameDay Challenge Big 12 Conference “Waste Minimization – Per Capita” Winner, according to an email from Wiley. Wiley said students can make a difference in their everyday choices by taking the time to educate themselves, especially when it comes to how a person recycles. “Students need to know that when you recycle, it has to be sorted,” Wiley said. “People think a machine sorts all of it, but it’s actually the recycling people that do it. So we could get more recycling bins on campus, but we have to be able to recycle correctly first, to get that to happen, and that requires students to be educated and know not to put trash into a recycling bin and what to recycle in the first place. Recycle, but recycle correctly.” Wiley said rebranding the reputation of OU as a petroleum school could contribute to sustainability. “Being sustainable is important. It is the future, and if we fall behind with that, we’re probably not going to have a lot of students (who) want to come here,” Wiley said. “Everyone says, ‘OU, petroleum engineering,

that’s the school for you,’ and we need to apply that for sustainability, as well, and start rebranding ourselves.” When it comes to rebranding, Mark Meo, a professor in the department of geography and environmental sustainability, said there will not be a quick jump to changing OU’s stance on the importance of fossil fuels. “My hunch is that what you won’t see is a whole lot of leadership in addressing the challenges, such as the substitution of non-fossil energy systems because a benefactor of the campus is the fossil energy industry,” Meo said. This need for the fossil fuel industry to support the university comes from the lack of funding from the state, Meo said. “When students think about it and realize ... that the state of Oklahoma has been under-investing in its higher education system, then it doesn’t make a lot of sense,” Meo said. “That is to say, it doesn’t help the university provide for its students’ education to antagonize the donors and patrons that are giving money and support to the university to supplement what the state is giving.” While the university and state are still supporting fossil fuels, Meo said change is on its way, and in the long run, Oklahoma cannot continue to go down the path it is without further separating itself from other states.

VOL. 102, NO. 12

Students to protest OU rape culture Students will protest against rape culture at OU Tuesday in Evans Hall in response to President David Boren’s comments about sexual assault in a recent Daily article. Students will congregate in the Unity Garden at 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday and march to Evans Hall at 2 p.m., where they will present a list of demands to Boren. In an Oct. 3 story about OU sexual assault research, Boren said: “We try to really train students about (sexual violence), and you try to also say, ‘Don’t get yourself in a situation where you’re incapable of saying no.’” Sociology sophomore Kelsey Morris, who organized the protest, said she particularly wanted to call attention to the issue of victim-blaming after Boren’s comments. “One of the biggest problems in rape culture is blaming victims for what happens to them,” Morris said. Morris said protesters will present Boren with four immediate demands and three longer-term demands to show a commitment to ending campus sexual assault, and students will occupy Evans Hall until they are able to meet with Boren. OU press secretary Corbin Wallace said Boren would be out of town on the day of the protest for meetings in Oklahoma City and Clinton about State Question 779, the penny tax.

Studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company creates caps Freshman screen prints, embroiders for streetwear line

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rapper, artist and now-junior at Latta High School â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was experimenting with graphic design and designing album covers for rappers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He sent me this cassette tape (drawing), and I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This would look so cool on a hat. I want to put this on a hat. Is that cool with you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fenn said. Hinson agreed, and Fenn made 20 hats, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which, in hindsight, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the brightest idea because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I was going to do with 20 hats,â&#x20AC;? Fenn said. Fenn and Hinson brought the hats along as merchandise for a show that Hinson performed and Fenn DJed, and they sold almost all of them. Their hat success made them realize they could make a business out of it, and Common Contrast was born. Hinson came up with the tagline, recycling it from a previous project centered around his experiences in the music industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The original idea was for Common Contrast to be a music blog with another friend of mine, but then that kind of fell through. I still had the domain name and all the social media, so I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, why not?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hinson does all the actual graphic design work, and then I do the screen printing and embroidery of the caps and shirts and hoodies,â&#x20AC;? Fenn

Baseball caps are often a college studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last-minute accessory, but computer science freshman Matt Fenn doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just wear caps â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he makes them, too. Fenn is the co-creator of Common Contrast, which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a streetwear clothing company,â&#x20AC;? he said. The idea for the company came this spring, when Fenn and his friend Levi Hinson were in high school in Ada, Oklahoma. Fenn learned screen printing and embroidery during the summers of his sophomore and junior years of high school while living in Athens, Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was DJing in rodeos for both those summers, and during the week I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to do,â&#x20AC;? Fenn said. The announcer he worked with at the rodeo owned a T-shirt shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing anything during the week. If you want to work here, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of how it all started,â&#x20AC;? Fenn said. Meanwhile, Levi Hinson

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does the actual art, and then I make it into a piece of clothing that people can wear.â&#x20AC;? At the moment, Fenn promotes Common Contrast by wearing caps that sport the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo around campus. Various classmates and acquaintances have purchased a cap already, among them Kenzie Kephart, health and exercise freshman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in my class, and he was wearing one,â&#x20AC;? Kephart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cute hat. Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you get it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And then I bought one.â&#x20AC;? Although the caps are a success, Fenn and Hinson are planning a fall release for shirts and hoodies. The plan is to pattern the company after the streetwear model, with two clothing releases a year, Fenn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make everything,â&#x20AC;? Hinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want to make shirts but also weird stuff like socks. Stuff that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about.â&#x20AC;? Common Contrastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharply different,â&#x20AC;? and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic is minimalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to not overcomplicate things, especially with art,â&#x20AC;? Hinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think just not overdoing it but giving people stuff that they can wear and relate to.â&#x20AC;?

So, sometimes it can make you feel insignificant, especially in such a big community where you have people from all over the world.

DALL AS — Trailing 10-7 late in the first quarter, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield rolled to his left and fired down the middle of the field, finding wide receiver Dede Westbrook for a 71-yard touchdown pass. As Westbrook ran to the end zone, Mayfield sprinted to the Sooners’ sideline to celebrate with wide receiver Geno Lewis and then zagged back toward the opposite sideline, pointing to the Oklahoma fans in the crowd behind the Texas bench before joining Westbrook’s own celebration in the end zone. The Mayfield-Westbrook combination put the No. 20 Sooners (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) in the lead, and it wasn’t close to finished. Westbrook had a school record 232 receiving yards and added three touchdowns on 10 receptions as Oklahoma beat rival Texas (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) 45-40. Not to be outdone, Mayfield set the school record for passing yards against the Longhorns with 390. “(Westbrook) had a huge day, him and (Mayfield), getting them connected,” said running back Samaje Perine, who added 214 rushing

He’s quick, he’s shifty, but he also has that breakaway speed that a lot of quick people don’t really have.” That speed was on display all day at the Cotton Bowl. In addition to the 71-yard score, Westbrook scored on receptions of 42 and 47 yards. Westbrook was sure to share the glory of his record-setting day with the rest of the Sooners’ offense. “It was great, just being out there with my brothers, being able to compete to the best of my abilities,” Westbrook said. “The record wouldn’t even be possible if it wasn’t for my (offensive)

doing their job.” The Sooners needed every bit of Westbrook’s production as Texas rallied late, falling by less than a touchdown. Westbrook earned over half of the Sooners’ receiving yards by himself, and nobody else totaled more than three catches. Westbrook was hampered by injury early in the season but has made a comeback these past two weeks. Fighting through pain is nothing new for him, as a small intestinal injury in high school almost ended his career. “The doctor told me there was a huge possibility I would never play football

odds and here I am now,” Westbrook said. He’s here now, he’s healthy now, and the Longhorns’ secondary simply couldn’t catch him. When asked about Westbrook’s explosiveness, Mayfield simply read his receiver’s stat line aloud. “That just goes to show, when he’s healthy, nobody can compete with his speed,” Mayfield said. “That’s the thing that I’ve always loved to exploit, is the fact that he can outrun people. He’s got the track-type speed, and that’s why I like throwing to him.” Jesse Pound

Sophomore safety Will Sunderland points to the sky after OU beat Texas 45-40 in the Red River Showdown Saturday. Sunderland was credited with his first interception of the season.

Sophomore saves Showdown Forced in by injury, Sunderland makes key interception SPENSER DAVIS @Davis_Spenser

DALLAS — Oklahoma was in the driver’s seat late in the third quarter before a Joe-Mixon-muffed punt gave Texas the ball on the Sooners’ 23-yard line. W i t h O U ’s l e a d a t a n u n i m p re s s i v e e i g h t points, sophomore Will Sunderland made a potentially game-saving play. Te x a s q u a r t e r b a c k

Shane Buechele threw a 10-yard out-route toward the L onghorn sideline. Sunderland, who was in the game only because of injuries in the secondary, picked it off. Sunderland grew up ab out 30 minutes from Norman in Midwest City. The sophomore’s first career interception puts him in the Red River Showdown’s history books as the Sooners (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) held off Texas (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) 45-40. “I feel like a homet o w n h e r o r i g h t n o w ,” Sunderland said. “I wasn’t

supposed to start this game. My mom said be patient and my time will come. I guess my time came.” The interception sparked a 13-play, 93-yard touchdown drive that took 6:27 off the clock and gave the Sooners a 15-point lead. Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said he immediately thought of another huge play by an Oklahoma defensive back. “It was a little bit reminiscent of Zach Sanchez’s interception against Tennessee,” Stoops said. “That was really the first thing I thought of. I thought

that put us in a good position.” Sanchez’s overtime interception against the Vo l u n t e e r s s e a l e d t h e win for the Sooners. Sunderland’s play against the Longhorns wasn’t quite as decisive, but it has Stoops considering how to get Sunderland more playing time. “We’ve got to make the game where Will can be a factor because he’s a very talented player,” Stoops said. “That’s part on Will and part on the coaches to get him a position where he can really use his ability to

play.” Sunderland says he noticed the tendency by studying film throughout the week. “All week we practiced Texas plays, watching film, watching video, and that play stood out,” Sunderland said. “I already knew that the No. 2 wide receiver could do a 10-yard out, and I just knew, and I just made the play.” Sunderland wasn’t the lone inexperienced player in Oklahoma’s secondary. True freshman Jordan Parker also played a lot, enter ing for an injured

Michiah Quick. Freshman safety Chanse Sylvie also saw extensive playing time for the first time in his career. “ I t ’s a b i g d e a l . T h e coaches know what they’re dealing with now,” Sunderland said in reference to impact performances by previously unproven players. “We all stepped up, and we just take a lot of pressure off of (assistant) coach (Kerry) Cooks and coach Mike.” Spenser Davis

Sooners survive shootout, but chaos awaits Oklahoma faces top-notch offenses in conference play

It’s not just the Sooners struggling to make stops. Te x a s c o a c h C h a r l i e Strong, who has a history of building top-level defenses at different places throughout his career, took over the Longhorns’ defense this week to no avail as Riley’s Sooners rolled for 672 yards and six touchdowns. In the Big 12 in 2016, nobody seems to have a consistent answer on defense. And the Sooners now have as good a shot as anyone at claiming the conference crown. “Our guys have stayed with it, even with the t ou g h s t a r t a n d a l l t h e stuff on the on outside, our guys have stayed with it,” Riley said. “Regardless of what people on the outside think, it’s been awesome to see the fight in this team. And if they will stay with it and keep fighting and keep getting better, don’t count us out.”

JESSE POUND @jesserpound

DALLAS — Baker Mayfield hoisted a giant crimson flag and sprinted around the floor of the Cotton Bowl, teammates trailing behind him as the Sooners celebrated a second straight sur vival in conference play. They can’t celebrate too long. They have seven more of these to go. No. 20 Oklahoma (3-2, 2-0 Big 12) beat rival Texas (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) 45-40 in a game filled with big plays, bouncing fumbles and tipped passes. Even with eye-popping performances by Mayfield, receiver Dede Westbrook and running back Samaje Perine, Sooner fans still held their breath as Texas desperately lateraled the ball across the field as time expired, searching for one last opening in an exhausted Oklahoma defense. “I didn’t know if we were going to have enough energy to tackle them,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “I was scared to death. You get everyone spread out like that, and our guys were so tired, our front four, it was just hard to corral him.” The Sooners appear to have righted the ship after two early losses, but the offenses of the Big 12 won’t let them breathe.

SIANDHARA BONNET/THE DAILY

Junior running back Samaje Perine attempts to make his way past a Texas defender during the Red River Showdown Saturday. Perine had 214 rushing yards in the game.

The Sooners will face Kansas State and Texas Te ch over the next t w o weeks, teams that combined for 82 points Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. The explosive off e n s e s o f B a y l o r, We s t Virginia and Oklahoma State all loom down the road. Even lowly Iowa State, just 1-5 on the season, is averaging 39 points per game over the last three

weeks. And with the Sooners missing starters on all three levels of the defense, facing a string of high-powered offenses is sure to stress a defense patching holes with inexperienced players. “Our depth is so young, w e’v e b e e n i s s o m a n y tight games, it’s been hard to bring guys along, and that’s something I think we need to do a better job of,”

Stoops said. The offense has done its part the last two weeks, putting 97 points on the scoreboard. But for all of the success, mistakes — fumbles, interceptions and drops — tend to happen, and every loose ball is vital in these contests. “That’s college football a little bit (in) this day,” offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. “You’ve g ot to g o fight. There’s

always unexpected things that happen, and we’ve had to fight through some things as a team.” And in this conference, those unexpected things seem to happen in breakneck shootouts. “It’s almost like basketball,” Stoops said. “You get a lead, you establish yourself defensively and you know they’re going to make another run. That’s the way these offenses are built.”
