Farm Bill stalled under federal budget uncertainty Kennedy Thomason News & Lifestyle Editor On Sept. 30, the 2018 national
Farm Bill expired, leaving agricultural legislation in the air as government officials are currently negotiating a 45-day continuation of the federal budget. The Farm Bill, which is updated and renewed every five years, sets agricultural and food policy for the United
States. Amy Hagerman, associate professor of agricultural economics and OSU Extension agricultural policy specialist, said while the expiration is not creating significant problems currently, it could if a continuation is not granted.
Hagerman said commodity programs will be affected, and could lead legislation to revert to policies from the 1930s and ‘40s. However, the changes will not be immediate. Some programs through the bill will operate through the end of 2023 and into 2024. See Budget on 7

Correct fourth-down decisions propel OSU to upset victory against Kansas Ashton Slaughter Assistant Sports Editor
Boos reigned down from the Cowboy faithful in a soldout Boone Pickens Stadium. Not because the game on Saturday afternoon was a blowout. There was no dirty play. There was no missed penalty call. Alex Hale trotted onto the field. That’s why. The OSU kicker, who was 2-for-2 on the night when he jogged on the field with 11:32 remaining in the fourth quarter, had done his job until that point. However, the fans wanted the offense to remain on the field. Their team was trailing by five, and before the Kendal Daniels’ interception on the possession prior, the offense had more touchdowns (five) than punts (three). “The crowd always wants us to go for it; I get it,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “But you have to have a good reason, in my opinion, to go for it.” The decision on that drive — and the next two times the Cowboys opted for a field goal instead of a fourth-down attempt — ended up being the correct calls, and OSU upset Kansas, 39-32. Until this moment, points were coming easily for both sides. The offenses had slowed down some since the first half (where they combined for 49 points and 669 total yards), sure, but the bar had been set rather high because of those outputs. Going for it on fourth down would’ve seemed like a fair decision — to the common fan, that is. “When you make decisions like that, you gotta know who you’re playing, what their strengths are (and) who you are and what your strengths are,” Gundy said. He stuck with his gut and decided to kick all three times this situation occurred. The first came in with less than six minutes remaining in the third, when Hale kicked a 26-yard field goal from Kansas’ 9-yard line instead of going for it on fourthand-2. This decision was met with mostly understandable File Photo reactions. The Cowboys were down eight, and getting points OSU coach Mike Gundy stuck with his gut on Saturday, opting to kick on fourth downs instead of going for it.

Ethan Scott On Saturday, Ollie Gordon became the first OSU running back to have 100 receiving yards and 100 rushing yards since Gerald Hudson in 1989.
Gordon II makes history, powers OSU to upset win over Kansas Davis Cordova Staff Reporter
Ollie Gordon II scurried out to the flat on a fake handoff as part of a screen play. Gordon caught an Alan Bowmanthrown ball with his right hand and turned to run with a lot of grass in front. Gordon side-stepped to his right, losing a defender, then went back left only to shake a Jayhawk off his right leg and get tackled at Kansas’ 18-yard line. The play set the Cowboys up to score the eventual game-winning touchdown and pushed Gordon to more than 100 receiving yards, which is part of his historic day in OSU’s 39-32 win against No. 23 Kansas. Gordon finished the game with 168 rushing yards on 28 attempts and caught six passes for 116 yards. Oh, and he found paydirt twice — one on the ground and one through the air.
He’s the first OSU running back to have 100 receiving and 100 rushing yards since Gerald Hudson in a win at Kansas in 1989. Gordon is also the first OSU running back to have more than 100 receiving yards in a game since 1992. OSU coach Mike Gundy said he thinks he’s found his team’s identity with Gordon breaking out in his sophomore season. “We felt pretty good about what we’re doing rushing the ball,” Gundy said. “Now, we’re going to stick with it and we’re going to continue to do it. We think that’s who we are.” Gordon recorded his third straight game with more than 100 yards rushing, OSU’s first running back to do that since Jaylen Warren in 2021. With Gundy proclaiming he’s found the identity of his team, Gordon said he enjoys having the weight of that on him. ‘It’s elite, I just love it. I love carrying the weight on my shoulders,” Gordon said. “The fact that they are giving
it to me, and I got to work for it, it just makes me more hungry to produce.” Gordon’s historic day doesn’t happen without his offensive line, even though it lost one of its best early on. OSU lineman Dalton Cooper exited the game in the second quarter with an undisclosed injury, but nothing up front seemed to falter for the Cowboy line, for they were able to clear the way for Gordon to do damage to Kansas. The offensive line has seen significant improvement since the blowout loss to South Alabama. Gordon said he believes it’s because the offense isn’t cycling quarterbacks. “I feel we’ve got more comfortable since we established a quarterback,” Gordon said. “I feel once we got comfortable, we started firing off.” What’s given the line an extra boost in games is Gordon’s energy. Gundy said with his star running back making play after play, the line feeds off of his celebrations and huge plays. “When (Gordon) is hot, we got to
pound him and let him go,” Gundy said. “He’s emotionally driven, but he’s not out of control. Last year, he got out of control, but he’s not doing that this year. The line is feeding off of him.” Gordon has seen a significant increase in production since the beginning of the Iowa State game, where OSU offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said they announced him as the starting running back. With that increased production and the passing game revving up, Dunn said he’s found more opportunities to get his big, but shifty, running back the ball in the flat with space to make plays. “It takes a lot of pressure off the passing game,” Dunn said. “Instead of trying to get it to receivers and tight ends down the field, dropping it off in a short area and allowing somebody in space with good running ability to have the ball. That’s a bonus.”

Cowboys Extra Oliver provides big plays in key moments in OSU’s win over No. 23 Kansas Parker Gerl Staff Reporter
On a day when OSU’s defense struggled, the Cowboys walked away with a 36-32 win over No. 23 Kansas in part because of Collin Oliver’s timely efforts. The linebacker finished with seven tackles, 2.5 sacks and two pass breakups, and he made potentially the biggest play of the game, batting down Jason Bean’s pass on a fourthand-1 with less than two minutes remaining. “He’s more of a force when he’s close to the line,” Gundy said. “He can walk around as a linebacker and do different things, and he’s very good at what he does when he’s attacking the poor guy... We can trigger him when we want, as you saw.” Other notable plays from Olliver include a pass deflection – one that was nearly intercepted – and a half sack on a drive late in the fourth quarter. He had a run-down, shoe-lace sack on Bean in the first half, too, which led to a Kansas punt and gave OSU favorable field position. Owens has career day; biggest Presley game yet After years of up-anddown opportunities, OSU wideout Rashod Owens had a game he’ll remember on Saturday. Owens caught nine passes for 112 yards in the win, a career-high in both categories, and was the Cowboys’ leading wide receiver. “Him getting out there (and doing that), it’s a testament to how hard he plays and how smart he is,” OSU receiver Brennan Presley said.
And for Presley, a top weapon for OSU, he entered today’s game averaging just three receptions and 20 yards in the past three games. But on Saturday, the Cowboys got back to prioritizing his touches. Presley caught eight passes for 79 yards and a touchdown, and rushed a 6-yard jet sweep for a touchdown that gave OSU the lead with less than three minutes left in the game. In previous weeks, offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn talked about needing to get Presley more looks, and he did just that on Saturday. But Presley is still focused on doing what’s asked of him. “It doesn’t matter whether I get the ball,” Presley said. “Like two times or 50 times, let me do whatever I can for the team whether it’s catch punts or catch balls like today. Whatever goes on, I’m willing to do for the team.” Bowman catches fire The Cowboys’ offense was lights out in the first 30 minutes under Alan Bowman. In his third game as the full-time starter, Bowman was on pace for 812 yards after a quarter. In the first half, he posted 261 yards and two touchdowns and helped put up 24 points. In four quarters of play, the sixth-year senior went 28of-41 passing for 336 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Bowman’s 336 yards is the most he’s thrown for in a game since 2020 against, coincidently enough, OSU when he was Texas Tech’s quarterback. “We’re only going up,” Bowman said. “There’s a lot of missed throws I had out there. On a couple I need to stay in the pocket a little bit more firmer... there’s a lot more to be had, for sure.”
Ethan Scott Collin Oliver finished with seven tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and two pass breakups in OSU’s 39-32 win against Kansas on Saturday
In three games as the starter, Bowman has led the Cowboys to a 2-1 record and thrown for 849 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. Don’t bet against the Cowboys at home Regardless of what the experts say, OSU has thrived time and time again at home. Under Mike Gundy, the Cowboys have

won nine of their last 10 games as a home underdog. “The game day atmosphere here is better now than it ever has been since I came here in 1986,” Gundy said. “In the fourth quarter, when the defense is on the field, (the stadium) is loud...very impressed with the support of the people.” Saturday’s win over the No. 23 Jayhawks gives OSU its
first win over a ranked opponent since last season’s victory over Texas, and the Cowboys have won two in a row as a home underdog. In its last 20 games at Boone Pickens Stadium, OSU is 17-3. Safe to say the Cowboys enjoy playing in Stillwater. sports.ed@ocolly.com

“I expect we’ll see a lot of conversation around the budget in the coming weeks,” Hagerman said. “That’s really important for the Farm Bill as well, because the budget determines the money for some of those programs (operating under the 2018 Farm Bill) and for USDA offices to administer the
programs.” Hagerman expects the government to extend the bill before the end of the year. A shorter extension could put a new Farm Bill on the table, and a longer extension could keep the 2018 Farm Bill in place for a little while longer. “Producers should pay attention to risk management in general for their
GOD IS TRUSTWORTHY! God is worthy of our trust! “... I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” “...so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Jer.1:12,Is.55:11 NIV) Certainly from these verses it is clear that the Lord “means what he says.” When he speaks, or makes promises, he makes sure they are fulfilled. The life of Abraham shared with us in the first book of the Bible is telling us of a man who believed that God could be trusted. Abraham had to wait many years to see some of God’s promises fulfilled, and some for hundreds of years, and there was one he waited for thousands.

The true faith mentioned in scripture has one object; that is God. We are to trust the faithful God! We are to look to this God who has proved himself over and over a faithful God, who keeps his promises. He is worthy of our trust. As we except Christ, God’s gift to us, there is forgiveness of sin. We will not be condemned at the final judgment. He promises to guide us, to comfort and strengthen us in this present life. He will make us fruitful in helping others; laying up treasure in heaven.. The challenge is to take him at his word. Put your life in his hands for he is trustworthy. He will do in and through you what he has promised.

found it the most captivating to watch. After “Reputation,” Swift brought a softer side of her music back to the stage with the “Speak Now” era. “Enchanted,” the only song she performed from the album, is relatively popular, as it went viral on TikTok a few months ago. The “Red” era brought back some of Swift’s most famous songs from my middle school years. “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “We Are Never Getting Back Together” were staples for the time. Fan-favorite “All Too Well” was performed acoustically. All 10 minutes of the extended version from “Red: Taylor’s Version” made it into
the film. My favorite era, “Folklore,” opened on a cabin-style set with the song “The 1.” Swift wore a flowy, white dress that fit the softness of the album’s style. Dancers created entire stories around her with songs like “The Last Great American Dynasty” and “Betty.” “1989,” an album named after the year Swift was born, showcased some of the most popular of her pop songs. For example, she opened with “Shake it Off,” the lead single for “1989” when it came out in 2014. Swift played homage to her self-titled album that debuted in 2006 with the surprise song, “Our Song.” For fans who
have stuck it out for the long ride, this moment in the film felt surreal. Lastly, Swift played the most songs of any era for her most recent work “Midnights.” Featuring mostly fun, upbeat songs, except for a more scandalous performance of “Vigilante Shit.” The entire movie ran 2 hours and 48 minutes. As a Swiftie, I never wanted it to end. I recommend watching the concert film if you did not get to experience the “Eras” tour in person because it encapsulates the closest feeling one can get to a live Taylor Swift performance. news.ed@ocolly.com
