Trojan Horse: What OU’s coordinators said about the Cowboys

for us Satur day.”

Hutchens Assistant Sports Editor

All eyes in Oklahoma turn to Bedlam. Even in a down year with Oklahoma barely treading water at 5-5 and the Cowboys on the outside looking in at the Big 12 Cham pionship game, Saturday’s Bed lam matchup is still important.

Here’s what Jeff Lebby, OU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach said Monday about the Cowboys.

On OSU’s defensive front: “The big gest thing that stands out is they’re leagueleading in third down. They’ve been great in third down. Ob viously with the way we played third down on Saturday that’ll be a huge deal

“So that’s the thing that sticks out initially and then creating some turnovers, they’ve done a great job of that, creating five turnovers last week versus Iowa State. So we got to be great situation ally and then take care of the rock.”

On what makes OSU’s defensive line unique: “I think the biggest thing is just effort and not staying on blocks. These guys do an unbelievable job of getting off of blocks and get ting to the foot ball. So, when you see that on tape you under stand exactly what the game is going to be like Saturday. These guys are going to play tough, they’re going to play hard, they don’t stay blocked so we got to match and surpass that effort.”

On OSU’s

secondary: “They’ve been solid. Again, they’ve created turn overs. I think that’s the big gest thing that sticks out is they’ve made plays on the ball, they’ve got a bunch of eyes on the football and they’ve made plays.” Sooner de fensive coordi nator Ted Roof also fielded questions from the media. Here is what he had to say about the Cowboys on Monday.

On Spen cer Sanders: “He’s a really really dy namic football player. I think we figured it up yesterday going back to his high school days he’s had 90-some thing career starts as either a high school quarterback or a college quarterback. And that’s a lot of snaps when you’re starting 90-something ball games.”

Notebook: Cowboys talk beach, bouncing back

Bahamas to play in the Baha Mar Hoops tournament is a vacation. But Boynton, OSU’s coach, said he will not go to the beach if the team gets some down time. He is not a beach guy. Instead, he said he’ll watch film.

“I won’t be out there,” Boyn ton said. “I don’t really like the sun, to be honest.”

Santa Clara on Saturday. If OSU wins two in a row, the Cowboys will win the 2022 Bahamas Championship.

Boynton said his team is keeping work at the forefront. He does, though, anticipates some free time for relaxation.

Stillwater’s portion of State Highway 51 was recently named after T. Boone Pickens, a notable alumnus, philanthropist and cap tain of industry.

Mike Holder, OSU direc tor of athletics emeritus, and longtime friend of Pickens said

Pickens’ impact on OSU remains incomparable. He reflected on his time knowing Pickens, when they met at a fundraiser in 1973 during Holder’s time as OSU’s men’s golf coach.

“When I think of Boone, I think of the ultimate friend, the greatest teammate of all time,” Holder said. “You couldn’t have a better leader, you couldn’t have a better promoter.

“He puts pres sure on a defense with his mobility, creates explosive plays and he leads the Big 12 in total offense, I think. So he’s a guy who he’s back, he’s ready to roll and it’s a great challenge and a great opportunity for us so we have a lot of respect for him and how he operates and cer tainly adds an element, and not just an ele ment of his athleticism, but the element of his experience and decision making.”

What challenges does Sanders’ mobil ity specifically cause a defense?

“I think if you look at mobile quarterbacks across the board, when teams spread you out and create space with formations, they also create scramble lanes, running lanes, and what we have to do is do a re ally good job of closing

off those scramble lanes with our rush, whether it’s a three man rush, obviously there’s another lane or a four man rush. But whatever you do to have a rush plan in place to limit his area of operation and keep him in the pocket.”

On how much time has been spent on preparing for Gunnar Gundy and Garret Ran gel because Sanders is dealing with injury:

“Well, they’ve been productive as well. But, based on how we’re preparing, we’re pre paring for Sanders and we’re preparing for all of them and the differ ent things they do. They tweak their offense to suit the skillset of all their quarterbacks so that’s something we’ve got to prepare for all three of them.”

How difficult is that?

“It’s a challenge but at the same time it’s a necessity and it’s something we’ve got to do.”

Defense, discipline leads Cowgirls to victory over ORU

just 35% from the field. Most of ORU’s points came in the second half, when OSU had the game controlled with a big lead. ORU scored just 21 points in the first half.

Oral Roberts proved itself as a high-pow ered offense to begin its campaign, but the Cow girl defense stopped that narrative in its tracks.

OSU overcame in-state opponent Oral Rob erts 103-66 on Monday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The offense has been in the spotlight for the Cowgirls, and while this stayed true against ORU, the defense stayed persistent against an ORU squad that has put up impressive numbers early.

ORU dropped 94 points against rankedOklahoma and 84 points against UNLV, both road losses for the Golden Eagles. While this could have easily carried into Monday night’s game, the Cowgirls remained steady, allowing just 66 points and holding the Golden Eagles to

“I feel like anyone could focus on the 103 points, but more so the defensive effort and hold ing them to five in the second quarter was some thing that we’re really proud of,” said OSU coach Jacie Hoyt. “That’s where we get our edge is from the defensive end. We want to rebound and run. That’s our motto and we definitely did that.”

The Cowgirls played a very sound and discipline game as well. OSU had a 2:1 assist-toturnover ratio with 22 assists and 11 turnovers on the game. Hoyt’s squad was never in the brink of being in foul trouble, which allowed for the rota tion to remain intact from tip off to final buzzer. With nearly all cylinders firing, the Cowgirls were in control of the game the entire night.

“It just comes down to the fact that we’re hitting shots,” said guard Naomie Alnatas, who scored 16 points and dished out four assists. “Our team, we focus a lot on the assist-to-turnover because we want to be able to play fast while still taking care of it.”

Cowboys attempting to learn from upset loss:

When Southern Illinois beat OSU in the Cow boys’ second game, senior Caleb Asberry had flash backs to another upset defeat.

In 2020, when Asberry was playing at Texas State, the Bobcats were upset at home. Our Lady of the Lake, an NAIA team, beat Texas State 61-58.

“That lost kind of like reminded me of my tough loss to an NAIA school at Texas State,” Asber

ry said. “I feel like after that game everything started clicking.”

Asberry and the Cowboys are hoping to build on their recent 61-60 loss to the Salukis.

“We talked about that,” senior John-Michael Wright said. “We would rather have that happen early in the season than the middle or conference play because we saw the things that we didn’t do right for us to win the game…we learned from it.”

Cisse’s defense presence showing value:

It may not woo a crowd, but center Moussa’s Cisse’s stat lines are not being overlooked.

“Moussa’s defensive presence maybe going un der appreciated a little bit right now,” Boynton said.

Cisse has averaged 3.3 blocks per game this season, up from his mark of 1.9 last season. Cisse is also averaging a career-high 10 rebounds per game. Boynton said the reason Cisse’s production may be flying under the radar is that Cisse is not putting up big offensive numbers.

Cisse is averaging nine points per game.

“If he was having 28 (points) with those 15 re bounds and four blocks, people would be like ‘Woah,’ Boynton said. “But what we need from him is to make sure he’s got the 12 rebounds and four blocks and let his screening and lob threat help the other guys on the offensive end.”

Pete’s Pantry hosts hunger simulation for Hunger Awareness Week

Imagine that $45 was all you had to get through the week with.

This was the challenge put out by Pete’s Pantry as they hosted their first hunger simulator on Tuesday in the Sequoyah Room of the Student Union. Once someone arrived, they handed them a pen and a piece of paper with a meal planner for the week.

Visitors were tasked with figuring out how to purchase food and other basic groceries on a $45 budget while considering their dietary needs and restrictions. The left-over budget would go to the rest of daily life and emergency funding.

There were long lists of grocery prices from Walmart, Homeland and Sprouts taped onto the walls to compare and contrast with each other. In total, visitors were tasked with creating a plan that

included 21 separate meals all within the budget.

Cassidy Davis, the graduate assistant for basic needs at Pete’s Pantry, and Brian Blevins, the co ordinator of off-campus and nontraditional student services, said they thought it was a good turn out for the first time hosting the event.

“The outcome was fairly positive numbers,” Blevins said. “Especially due to the cold weather. I think it’s difficult to have students come out to things like this sometimes.”

Davis was the first to come up with the idea to host this at OSU as she researched events across the country.

“I just stumbled across [Hunger Awareness Week], which is a nationally recognized week,” Da vis said. “I met with Brian, and we started getting everything organized for this.”

This was not the only event of Hunger Aware ness Week. On Monday, there was a Basic Need’s Fair hosted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Student

Union Plaza. On Wednesday morning, there is an Instagram live SNAP Benefits Q&A from 10-10:30 hosted by @osucampuslife on Instagram.

“At some point in the last year, over 40% of OSU students struggled to find enough food to eat,” according to Pete’s Pantry.

This can impact your physical and mental health, as well as your ability to focus.

If you need help with food or other basic needs or personal products, you can visit Pete’s Pantry, located in the Student Union basement in Room 042.

It is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There are plenty of other food as sistance programs for Oklahoma State University students as well. For more information about donat ing and helping Hunger Awareness Week, see the available programs that you can visit or get help if you need it, visit basicneeds.okstate.edu.

He promoted Oklahoma State wherever he went. He gave generously. He always said there are two types of people: the givers and takers. There is no question what Boone Pickens was.”

The beloved Pickens passed away on Sept. 11, 2019, but his legacy lives on at Oklahoma State University. Pickens was recognized as one of the nation’s leading philanthropists, giving more than $1 billion in his lifetime.

In 2006, Pickens made a historic commitment of $165 million to con struct Boone Pickens Stadium. This pledge was the largest gift ever do nated to a collegiate athletic program. Boone Pickens Stadium inspired the expansion of OSU’s athletic villages with impeccable facilities. Pickens’ generosity inspired other alumni to do nate, including those who contributed to O’Brate Stadium, the Sherman E. Smith Training Center, Neal Patterson Stadium and the Michael and Anne Greenwood Tennis Center.

Jay Rosser, Pickens’ vice presi dent of public affairs and chief of staff, spoke to Pickens’ impact.

“Boone’s contribution to Okla homa State was over the top and incredible, and he used to get calls all the time,” Rosser said. “’What do you want in return?’ And Boone would say, ‘Well, I’ve already got the best parking spot, what else can they do for me?’ Well, they went and named the high way after him.”

Since Pickens’ generous dona tions, Oklahoma State University has raised more than $2 billion in private support, more than doubled its en dowment and welcomed over 70,000 donors, with more than 200 of those contributing donations of $1 million.

Kayse Shrum, the OSU Presi dent, credits Pickens’ first donation as an inspiration for generosity by other donors.

“The Cowboy Code calls for us to dream as big as the sky, and Boone embodied that to the fullest extent,” Dr. Shrum said. “We can continue to honor Boone by boldly approaching the future and doing everything we can to elevate Oklahoma State Univer sity beyond what we ever imagined. For generations to come, the Boone Pickens Memorial Highway will usher the Cowboy family home, and that’s a fitting tribute.”

Mary Elizabeth Cordia, Pickens’

granddaughter, said she is proud of the legacy Pickens created and is happy to see the continuing impact it has.

“It’s just nice to see how every thing he’s done here is overflowing into other places,” she said. “So not only has it overflowed into different parts of academics and athletics, but it’s even overflowed into the city.”

Pickens’ grandson, Michael Pickens, said he was enamored by the thought of what his grandfather’s hometown, Holdenville, Oklahoma, would have said if they knew T. Boone Pickens would have a section of a state

highway named after him.

“That made me think about his humble beginnings coming from a blue-collar family and a little itty-bitty town in Oklahoma,” he said. “Who would have thought?”

Rep. John Talley thanked Dugger for his leadership on the bill, as well as Rep. Trish Ranson, and said Pickens was deserving of the dedication.

“I was a nobody, really, and [Pickens] wrote to me every few months, ‘Hang in there.’ ‘Don’t give up.’ ‘I got your back,’” Talley said. “I don’t understand why he did that. But,

boy was it special when I got that in the mail from an important person who looked at the average farm kid and said, ‘Don’t give up.’

“So, at the State Capitol, I try to write 10 letters to people who have blessed my life. I try to give back to them because T. Boone did that to me.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

“As a na tive of Clinton, Oklahoma, and an OSU alum nus, Scott Hen dricks will serve as an inspiration to my music industry majors, proving that it is possible to earn success in the music industry,” Perry said.

Hendricks plans to discuss the country mu sic industry as well as answer any other ques tions the audi ence would like to ask him. The Q&A is open to all who are in terested in learn ing more about Hendricks, his career and his outlook of the music business.

with him.

This op portunity means everything to OSU students who are inter ested in pursuing a career in music production.

“I am so excited for Scott to speak to and meet with my students this semester,” Perry said. “He has excelled at being both a music executive and music producer. Astoundingly, at the same time he remains one of the most suc cessful country music producers in history, still producing num ber one hits.”

The chance to speak with a producer as successful as Hendricks is not one to be passed upon. All ma jors could learn from Hendricks’ success and the experiences that have led him to such a rewarding career.

OSU leader in drones with Counter-UAS Center of Excellence

Womble O’Colly contributor

The high-pitched buzzing and intense speeds of drones has turned the once joyful hobby into a platform for terrorism and warfare.

The decades-long shift in mindset from trust ing strangers enough to not have to lock your door at night to feeling fear from once purely recre ational hobbies has sparked the needfor increased defense.

Most people didn’t notice this change until re cently. However, Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education director Jamey Jacob said OSU has been preparing for this for generations.

“We have begun to research counter-UAS technology by perfecting our strategy of ‘detect, identify and defeat’ and testing systems by develop ing our own threats,” Jacob said. “It’s a very impor tant problem and particularly right now a pervasive

threat to our military.”

OSU has become the state leader in aerospace and aviation and consequently was chosen to help lead the Counter-UAS Center of Excellence in a $15 million deal with Amentum.

But how did a public university in a small town of Oklahoma become a leader in drones? In the 1990s, Andy Arena started building the capabil ity for students to design, manufacture and flight test drones as an educational experience. Ac cording to Jacob, Arena’s fostering of this project allowed the college to rise to national prominence and develop drones that are superior to any other university.

The center is currently located at the Hamm Institute for American Energy and was established in partnership with the Department of Defense through the National Defense Authorization Act.

Anyone can go out and purchase a drone; a 72-year-old grandpa from Arkansas or an 11-year-

old child from Denmark. What stops either of these people from using their drone for harm?This is a big reason for the increased fear around drones and why aviation ethics professor Kat Gardner-Vandy thinks some safety changes need to be put in place.

“People have discussed the FAA’s drone license testing and how strict or complete it is.They’re hard to enforce and people don’t always follow the rules,” said Gardner-Vandy.

She also mentioned another possible solution towards drone safety for both the user and non-user in what she described as a “geofence,” a tech-made boundary limiting the range and space a drone is allowed to move.

The $44 billion annual aviation aerospace economic activity in Oklahomahas driven OSU and its professors toward a new horizon in national defense.

The recent partnership with OSU and the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense continued the university’s history of drone usage.
