OSU VS BOISE STATE 21 20 Sanders stumbles amid sparse receiving corps Dean Ruhl Sports Editor

Building blocks

OSU Athletics

Cowboys take rollercoaster offense, strong defense into Big 12 play begin the year. The Cowboys were in a similar situation in the 2020 campaign, but that time it was on the offensive line, which hasn’t been the healthiest group either. The Cowboys have to meet Chris Becker the circumstances head on and Assistant Sports Editor continue to march forward. “I looked at the scoreboard Oklahoma State escaped its (at halftime) and we were ahead by nonconference schedule with an one, but it just didn’t feel that way. undefeated record, but it was not These guys do a good job. We have pretty. a culture in place that allows guys OSU, especially offensively, to ignore the conditions and keep has been struck with injuries playing, and that’s what they did,” throughout the first three games, Gundy said. and it didn’t get better on the The Cowboys offensive Cowboys trip to Boise State. The line had struggled in the first Cowboys entered the game without two games for the Cowboys, but their leading receiver Jaden Bray, against the Broncos the line added starting right guard Hunter Woodstarter Z-receiver Tay Martin, ard back into the fold. The CowBraydon Johnson and Langston Anderson, all of which were listed boys run blocking improved, but pass blocking, although in limited on the two-deep depth chart to

numbers, struggled to protect Spencer Sanders. “I think they were better (on Saturday). I could see pretty good from the angle I had tonight, and I thought we were much better with our schemes,” Gundy said. The Cowboys will now turn their attention to No. 25 Kansas State, and will look to continue building on their run game against a Wildcat defense allowing less than 60 rushing yards per game. “We kind of dialed in a little bit on some of the schemes,” offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said. “This was the first time we had some consistency up front on the offensive line. Consistency at quarterback. (The line) did a great job. Our offensive line did a great job of moving their front and creating seams.”

It was the hit heard ‘round Treasure Valley. Late in the third quarter, Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders quickly tossed a pass to running back Dominic Richardson, who lateraled the ball to receiver Brennan Presley running in the opposite direction. Presley wrapped around the blocking offensive linemen, turned up field, and ran into a brick wall named JL Skinner. Skinner, a Boise State safety, throttled the much smaller Presley, colliding the crown of his helmet into Presley’s, a questionable no-call from the officiating crew on what looked like obvious targeting. Presley’s feet swung out from under him, and Skinner, arms wrapped around Presley, bodied him into the blue turf at Albertson’s Stadium. It looked more akin to something seen on a WWE program than a college football game. Presley, midair, cleats several feet off the turf, is reminiscent of the OSU passing game Saturday. They never quite were able to get their footing right to do something. Sanders threw for a career-low six receptions in the Cowboys 21-20 victory over the Broncos in Boise. See Sanders on 2

3 takeaways OSU vs. Boise State

Abby Cage

Chris Becker Assistant Sports Editor Oklahoma State (3-0) escaped Albertsons Stadium with a 21-20 win over Boise State (1-2). The Cowboys overcame a 20-7 deficit late in the first half to take the lead before halftime, and then shut out the Broncos in the second half. Here are three takeaways from the matchup. Jaylen Warren might provide the answer to the run game. The Cowboys needed offensive life, especially on the ground. Coming

into the game the Cowboys had just 194 yards on the ground and no one had eclipsed 100 yards on the ground individually. That changed Saturday night. The Cowboys ran for 260 yards, Warren racking up 218 of those and two touchdowns. The Cowboys have been searching for one of the four running backs to separate themselves and Warren may have done that with his performance against the Broncos. The Cowboys are lucky to have Jason Taylor II to fill in for Tre Sterling. Tre Sterling’s 2021 is over. Despite how big of a loss Sterling is for the Cowboy secondary, it could be worse. They could not have Jason Taylor II. But lucky for the Cowboys they do, and he always finds a way to make play on the ball. Taylor did just that on Saturday, while making his second straight start, he blocked a field goal

in the fourth quarter that would’ve given Boise State the lead. The Cowboys can’t catch a break in the injury department. OSU’s IR list continues to accumulate names. The injury bug continues to ravage the Cowboys, especially in the wide receivers room. The Cowboys entered the game without its leading receiver Jaden Bray, Tay Martin, Braydon Johnson and Langston Anderson. The Cowboys then lost Bryson Green to a hand injury during the game, which led to walk-on Cale Cabbiness playing. The Cowboys are down to the bare bones of the wide receivers group, which makes it that much more difficult for a sputtering offense to find its stride.

Sanders... Continued from 1 Sanders’ back was against the wall going into the game. Receivers Tay Martin, Braydon Johnson and Jaden Bray were all inactive with injuries, Martin’s undisclosed ankle injury being the only one known. Receivers Rashod Owens, Bryson Green and Presley started the game, with John Paul Richardson and walk-on Cale Cabbiness serving as depth. “We’re down a bunch of wideouts,” coach Mike Gundy said. “We’ve got guys out there lining up and playing but their freshmen. Freshmen play like freshmen sometimes. We just have to come up with the best schemes possible to try to balance out a little more.” Cabbiness secured the biggest of Sanders’ six completions, a catch along the left sideline for 24 yards on 3rd-and-7 with under two minutes to play, allowing the Cowboys to kneel the remaining minute. Gundy said Green suffered an undisclosed hand injury, which prompted Cabbiness to earn playing time in crucial moments, and make his first career reception.

“If (Cabbiness) wasn’t on the field, I’d be up next,” offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said. “I love him to death.” Heading into halftime, Sanders had just one completion, a 7-yard reception by running back LD Brown. Sanders remained frugal with passes in the second half. He dropped back a mere 13 times, connecting on six of his passes for a combined 87 yards. Owens was his favorite, for lack of a better term, target, catching two of Sanders’ passes for 34 yards on three targets. Excluding the lateral, Presley saw success with screens, converting a crucial second-and-long in the fourth quarter. He was still susceptible to underclassmen mistakes, trying to run opposite field on a similar screen that busted earlier in the game. A steady rain began late in the third quarter, further thwarting any plans Gundy and Dunn had to pass. With a thinned receiving corps, Sanders had one of his worse statistical performance of his OSU career. His final line of 6-13, 87 yards and zero touchdowns ranks as his lowest passing yards in a game since the 2020 Tulsa game, where he exited in the first quarter with a right ankle injury. Despite the subpar stats, Gundy said Sanders’ played good against the Broncos. “I think he played good. We didn’t protect him,” Gundy said. “When you’re one dimensional, it allows (Boise) some flexibility in coverages and then they can bring pressure. We didn’t protect him very good. He didn’t have much of a chance to throw the ball, but I thought he rushed the ball well.” Sanders rushed for 40 yards on 15 attempts, including what turned out to be the deciding touchdown with eight seconds remaining in the second quarter. The offensive line struggled to give him ample time in the backfield, resulting in several of his runs being scrambles out of the pocket. “We’ve got a long way to go offensively,” Gundy said. “Personnel-wise, we’ve got to try to come up with some answers to allow ourselves to throw the football a little better to at least be somewhat balanced, which we’re not right now.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Notebook: Warren, Cabbiness and defense shine against Boise

OSU Athletics

Jax Tompson Staff Reporter Oklahoma State stole a win in a close game Saturday with a 21-20 win over Boise State. The defense and the run game came up big in a game where the Cowboys were missing most of their receiving corps. Here are some notes from the game: Jaylen Warren Jaylen Warren’s explosive performance started on the Cowboys’

first play of the second drive of the game, with a 75-yard touchdown run. With his big game, he became Oklahoma State’s first 100-yard rusher of the year, eventually checking in at 218 rushing yards on the day. Warren also scored twice and averaged 6.8 yards gained. Coach Mike Gundy gave him plenty of credit, especially for his efforts after the Cowboys turned to a run-heavy offense in the second half in an effort to run clock and limit possessions. “He had to run through tackles when they knew we were gonna run the ball. Everybody in the stadium knew we were running the ball, and he still runs through tackles,” Gundy said. Defense, special teams, shut out Broncos in second half

While the Cowboy defense was good in key moments in the first half, it really settled in after halftime. Of the five possessions Boise State had in the second half, the Pokes’ defense forced punts to end three, and got an interception to end another. The fifth and final possession of the game for the Broncos ended in a blocked field goal, preserving the Cowboys’ narrow lead. Jason Taylor II was the man who got the gamesaving block. “Earlier in the game, when they kicked a PAT, he kicked it kind of low, so I knew that I could get my hands on one. I just waited, game on the line, jumped up and tried to tip it,” Taylor said. Cabbiness comes up clutch If you’ve never heard of Cale

Cabbiness, you’re probably not alone. Cabbiness wasn’t even listed on the initial depth chart this season. But none of that mattered when he made the biggest catch of the game, securing a first down to seal the game for the Cowboys. It was his first career catch as a Cowboy. Gundy said a few words about him in the postgame presser, complimenting his work ethic. “Busts his tail every day, all the time, and those guys don’t ever know if they’re gonna get a chance to get in the game. Then he makes a big-time catch, I mean you can’t write a better script,” Gundy said.

SFC Welcomes Back a Fellow OSU Alumni! Monica Harden, D.O. is Now Accepting New Patients of All Ages

IS GOD WORKING IN YOU? The Apostle tells us; “...for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Phil.2:13 NIV) This seems an important statement that God would actually work in you and me. How can it happen?

In Philippians chapter 2, we are given direction from the apostle Paul about this very important matter. He tells us to look at Jesus while he was here on this earth and follow his example. “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.”(V5 NIV) What was his attitude? You see clearly the key in verse 8; : “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself.” Man, woman, youth; whoever we are and whatever our situation, we are to intentionally humble ourselves before God. Present ourselves to God so that we become a vessel for his work in and through us.

The Lord looks on humility in a very positive way. God says, “This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” (Is.66:2 NIV) God greatly respects those who greatly respect him and his word. This person is ready to hear and move with God. “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Ps.25:9 NIV) If we stop and think about it; this person is the only one who will pay any attention to God’s will. Pride and self-centeredness are great hindrances to God working in us. The apostle says, offer your body as a living sacrifice. He does not say “get religious.” You are humbling yourself before God for his will to be done; an attitude of humility. This is what Jesus did. As you do the same, God will lead and work in you.

News Letter to the editor:

Indeed, enough is enough Alex Sloan Former O’Colly news editor

Last week, The O’Colly published an editorial which called on students to speak out against COVID-19 mitigation protocols in the midst of an ever-worsening global pandemic. Is this what Oklahoma State has come to? The column is one of a pair of editorials authored by Editor in Chief Madison Farris which took a decidedly political position against mask mandates specifically, and generally against further preventive policies. In the interest of promoting a free and open public discourse, and in pursuit of a better informed student body, it seemed necessary to provide a respectful rebuttal to the opinions offered by Farris. The arguments offered in “Column: Enough is enough,” largely center around a radical interpretation of bodily autonomy, which quickly becomes problematic when applied to other parts of society. “It’s control over my choices, desires, and body,” Farris wrote, speaking of masking requirements. “I will not allow any institution to take away my right to decide for myself what is best and to make my own decisions, or to take away the rights and decisions of others.” Having long-held libertarian leanings myself, I’m sympathetic to this principle. Americans should generally be free to make their own decisions, and determine their own fates. But unfortunately, carrying this principle of radical autonomy to its logical conclusion requires one to part with the comforts, protections and rights offered by participating in a society. It is impossible to live in a society without surrendering some freedoms. Institutions restrict our movements and activities constantly, with the general consent of the public. For an example, look no further than the average drunk driver. If you have been drinking, by the authority of the legislature, you are not permitted behind the wheel of a car. Inevitably, this causes inconvenience; if you want to drink, you have to get a ride home. Yet every weekend, hundreds of happily compliant students climb into the backseat of a rideshare driver , or a sober friend’s car. They do not rise up against the tyrannical authority of the legislature, because the public is in general agreement that restrictions on drunken driving are a benefit to public safety. And if our hypothetical drunken driver is found in noncompliance with these restrictions, consequences are handed down as lain out by the legislature. Which brings us back to mask mandates. On Aug. 30, the College of Arts and Sciences sent an email out to students outlining the policies for positive COVID-19 cases in the classroom. In such instances, professors are offered three options: move class online, have class in person with masks required or have a hybrid model with masks required in the classroom. On Aug. 31, COVID-19 cases reported on campus climbed to their highest levels of the semester: 487 active cases. Since the implementation of such policies the case count has been on a slow decline, reaching 329 active cases as of Sept. 9, according to Oklahoma State ’s COVID-19 dashboard. Masks work. And if you are not willing to get vaccinated, wearing a mask on campus is truly the least you could do for your fellow students, staff and faculty. Yet surprisingly, I do find one point of agreement between myself and Farris. Specifically the closing lines of her Aug. 26 editorial, written as a letter to OSU, titled “Column: Just stop.” “Stop making me feel like the physical health of the entire student body rests on my shoulders,” Farris writes. As students, staff and faculty continue to engage in increasingly vitriolic debates about masking policy, it’s important to keep one fact in mind: we would not be having this discussion if the university had not called us all back to Stillwater in the first place. If finishing my final semester of college remotely could have prevented even one COVID-19 death, or slowed the spread of the virus through the Stillwater community, it’s a sacrifice I would have made happily. But having not been offered such an option, it’s time to mask up cowboys. news.ed@ocolly.com
