But through the first half of Saturday’s game, Sanders didn’t find the magic he did before, com pleting 11 of 24 passes with one pick and 94 yards. Not to help the cause, two penalties set the OSU offense farther back.
The Cowboys defense played well enough to hold the lead. Af ter a shaky opening series where ASU (1-1) marched 78 yards and opened the scoring with a field goal, the Cowboys settled in. The Sun Devils converted just two of 13 thirdAllowingdowns. 17 points was a significant improvement from the 44 OSU allowed to Central Michi gan in week “Overall,one.kudos to (the defense) tonight,” OSU defensive coordinator Derek Mason said.
On ASU’s 11 failed third downs, OSU forced four quarterback hurries, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble and a couple of short gains. The pressure from the rush wore on the Sun Devils.“We got good pressure,” Gundy said. “And that’s kind of how we’ve made our living.” That front shored up the entire defense, taking pressure off the young linebacker and secondary groups by forcing quarterback Emory Jones into rushed situations.The ASU run ning attack was also hampered by the surge of the Cowboy defen sive line. After the long opening rush, the Sun Devils only rushed for 89 yards on 36 carries –less than 2.5 yards per carry.That’s what OSU defensive coordinator Derek Mason expects from his veteran front line, though. It’s his defense’s strength and the rest of the unit feeds off it, he said.
Leading by 17 points and wanting to drain any leftover time ASU could have used, OSU needed to keep running, but this time when the Sun Devils knew it was coming.Todoso, the Cowboys stacked the line of scrimmage with two tight ends — a formation not often seen in the OSU sys tem — to even the numbers in the trenches and allow the run game to finish the game they played a major part in winning.
After Sanders threw 406 yards and four touchdowns against Central Michigan in week one, Arizona State came into the game playing back with its secondary, particularly the safeties.
“He played really well against TCU last year, so that’s the guy I expect to see,” OSU of fensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said. “He’s a talented guy, and he’s gotta be the guy for us.”
Cowboys use physicality, Martin’s big play to beat Sun Devils

“I thought they were remarkably better, and we challenged those guys to be better. I’m glad to see that that’s part of the week one to week two process.”
Oklahoma State beat Arizo na State 34-17 on Saturday night in Stillwater.Martin’s play jumpstarted the Cowboys (2-0), who had been stagnant until that point.
“Obviously turnovers are big…At that time, they went back to the weak side and we had a nice charge, blew the thing up and the ball was on the ground so we covered it,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.
Tyler Lacy had one sack against Arizona State in Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday.

Run game provides answer for slow OSU offense in win over ASU

“They played five guys back, so that means we have to rush the football,” Gundy said. “It becomes a numbers game. In the last 10 minutes when they knew we were going to run, and we could still run it. That’s a good way to close a game sports.ed@ocolly.comout.
Brock Martin knew what was going to happen.
It was the inciting incident in OSU’s 17-point second quarter. Senior quarterback Spencer Sand ers (21-of-38 for 268 yards) scored on a six-yard scramble with 2:45 left in the second quarter, and OSU’s Tanner Brown tacked on a 43-yard field goal two minutes later.
“We did not play very well,” Dunn said. “Let’s not call it anything else. We didn’t play well. We had some drops, some miscues, penalties. We had it all. I was really pissed off at halftime. But the guys stepped up and made some plays. The offensive line was fantastic in order to run the ball
Dropped passes and struggled to get open downfield consistently.
“I think the tight end was supposed to come over and get me,” Martin said. “I hate to say this, but, how many times have I done that in the past where they try to bring a puller on short yard age plays? I do the same thing every time. It’s kind of almost become natural to me.”
Oklahoma State defensive end Brock Martin had two tackles for loss against Arizona State on Saturday.
So it’s not really a surprise OSU junior running back Domi nic Richardson ran with his shoul der pads down in the Cowboys’ 34-17 win over Arizona State on Saturday night in Boone Pickens Stadium.Itwasn’t a career night for Richardson — that happened in his 134-yard, two touchdown performance on only 13 carries against TCU a season ago— but 175 total yards with a touchdown on Saturday night showed signs of his ceiling.

Third-down defense shines in Cowboys’ win
Before Martin’s forced fum ble, No. 11 OSU had not scored. On the ensuing OSU drive after the hit, junior OSU running back Dominic Richardson capped off a five-play drive with a three-yard touchdown run.
At halftime, and after the rain settled in, coach Mike Gundy, Dunn, and the rest of the offen sive staff adjusted, deciding to pound the rock more. To do so effectively, the offensive line, who Gundy said found it troublesome to run block in week one and in the first half of week two, needed to stepAndup. it did.
“(The run game) wasn’t there in the beginning,” Richard son said. “But it started to open up and I started to read my offensive line more, and they did better. I couldn’t do it without my O-Line.”
In the second quarter, he ex ploded off the right side of OSU’s defensive line. Case Hatch, Ari zona State’s 235-pound fullback, was running full speed toward Martin in an attempt to clear him out of the Instead,backfield.Martin, OSU’s senior defensive end, did the clearing.Martin was too fast for Hatch, who was pulling behind ASU offensive linemen. Martin slammed into Sun Devil running back Xazavian Valladay, knock ing Valladay to the ground and the ball free. OSU’s Tyler Lacy jumped on the fumble, setting the

The conditions were set for a running back to thrive.
“It’s always a good ability for us to get off the field,” Lacy said. “If we’re on the field less, that means somethings going good for us. So I feel great about that.”
“Guys are taking the chal lenge of understanding that you have to win situational football to win games,” Mason said. “How do you play in the red zone? How do you play on third down? It matters, right? … If you don’t get teams off the field, then it’s more posses sions, and more possessions lead to more Masonexplosives.”hasbeen preaching that concept to his defense, as well as to communicate clearer with each other.

“I think the D-line was the tip of the spear,” Mason said. “What those guys do up front, we follow. Rushing coverage, you have to work together, and tonight I think I saw more of that.”
The only two conversions came on ASU’s final touchdown drive, early in the fourth quarter. One, a 10-yard pick-up on thirdand-six, and the other a 20-yard re ception on third-and-18. But when the Cowboys locked up on third downs, good things happened.

At the start of the third quarter, the drizzle over Boone Pickens Sta dium turned into some thing more. Rain drove fans to the concourse, and it turned the pre-arranged striped pattern of black, white and orange clad fans into a patchwork of colors as ponchos came out.

Red dirt country music is back in Stillwater at OCL
Randy Rogers Band, the main reason I went to the concert, did not disap point.Olivia McNichol, a chemical engineering major from Owasso, also agrees.“I love Randy Rog ers because they have a lot of good dancing songs,” McNichol said. “I love the environment of their concerts. They play to the crowd and just make you want to have a good time. Everyone has been re ally into the music so far
Seeing Randy Rogers Band perform one of the songs off their upcoming album, “Nothing but Love Songs,” was the highlight of my night. Randy Rog ers is set to open for Luke Combs in his upcoming tour, so keep on the look out for more coming from them. “Homecoming” is set to release on Oct. 14.

Tumbleweed Dance Hall was home to some of my favorite artists this past weekend.Outside City Lim its is a music festival hosted in Stillwater that is similar to Calf Fry but on a smaller scale. Fri day night, Randy Rogers Band, who is set to release a new album in October, headlined the show. With openers from William Beckmann, Angie K and Flatland Cavalry, the night was one to Flatlandremember.Cavalry is one of my favorite red dirt country music bands, so seeing them live for the first time was absolutely insane. It played some of my favorites like “Some Things Never Change” which was their opening song.
tonight and that’s what I love about the band. They have that effect on every one, even if you didn’t necessarily come to see them.”The one criticism McNichol had didn’t even have anything to do with the bands playing. She said the setup for the concert was not good.

The VIP section was in front of the stage, but it was elevated about 3 feet, so the general admission could not see the bands very well.“We are making the best out of it, but I don’t like the setup at all,” McNichol said. “If I would’ve known about the VIP section being elevated, I would’ve just paid the extra $30 and had a way better view. I also almost wish it was out side like Calf Fry. I think that would’ve been more enjoyable with the nice weather.”Even with these issues, people still had a great time with all the bands that performed.

Review: McKnight Center kicks off pep rally series
I had Vanessa’s, a Mexican food truck, and it was delicious. I was un able to try the other two food trucks but from the people I spoke with, both “Wicked Hangry” and “Snow S’more” were just as good. “Wicked Hangry”
This past Friday was the first in a series of pep rallies at the McKnight Center. It was shockingly pretty empty, which meant there was plenty of room to breathe and enjoy some of the great food trucks provided.

“Snow S’more” received praise from customers. The food truck serves shaved ice, craft coffee, and s’mores. I was not to find anyone who got the coffee, but I did track down and ask some people about the s’mores and they looked absolutely divine.
