Offense struggles mount in loss to WVU

Receiver James Washington (right) led OSU with five catches for 87 yards Saturday.

Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Brandon Sheperd got the ball on an end-around handoff and turned up the sideline, chugging downfield for a 51-yard gain — Oklahoma State’s longest run play of the season.

On the ensuing snap,

quarterback Daxx Garman found fullback Teddy Johnson out of the backfield for an 8-yard touchdown pass.

On that sequence, it seemed the OSU offensive machine was operating at full force.

The problem?

That was the highlight of a select few instances of explosion throughout the day.

The Cowboys’ offense suffered through a series of three-and-outs, struggled to run the ball and dealt with inconsistency in the passing game. The lack of offense was the overarching reason behind OSU’s 3410 loss to West Virginia on Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Take away Sheperd’s run, and the Cowboys averaged only 3.8 yards per carry.

“In the third quarter, we weren’t able to maintain the run,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “I thought we lost up front, their front versus ours, and became one-dimensional. When we become one-dimensional, we’re an average football team.”

Worse, OSU was 2-for15 on third downs. The Cowboys didn’t convert a third down until the nineminute mark in the fourth quarter. Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said quarterback Daxx Garman struggled to make throws against man coverage in third-down situations.

And after Yurcich called an off-tackle handoff on a third-and-11 play, the OSU crowd let out a large collective boo.

“You’re in third-and-12, and they drop eight ... We hand it off, and nobody’s happy about it because you didn’t get the first down,” Yurcich said. “But at times, that’s what you have to do.

The next time you punt down there, it goes down there to the 2-yard-line or 3-yard-line, that’s smart football. At times you want to convert everything, but at times with a young of-

fense we have to be patient and take what the defense is giving us.”

It’s not like the offensive woes are a new problem.

Johnson’s second-quarter touchdown was OSU’s first offensive touchdown in seven quarters. The Cowboys have only found the end zone on offense in one of their past 10 quarters.

“Everything offensively is alarming to me, but I also have to look at where we’re at,” Gundy said. “We have a quarterback that’s inexperienced, we have an offensive line that’s young and inexperienced, and we’re a little bit dinged up at times and places.

We’re just trying to move forward.”

Garman also continued to struggle with interceptions, throwing two on the day — including a picksix. Garman was 21-of-41 passing and had 242 yards.

He now has 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions this season.

“It’s never one thing in my opinion,” Yurcich said.

“It’s always several things.

I know our quarterback didn’t play a good game.

He made several errant reads, and there’s a lot of

COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK

room for Daxx to improve.

He knows that, he expects to play better, and he will play better.”

The Cowboys aren’t without hope, however.

They’ve shown before the ability to win with big plays. There’s also no shortage of talent. Tyreek Hill ran for 78 yards on 14 carries Saturday, and freshman receiver James Washington had five catches for 87 yards.

But for Gundy and Yurcich, the challenge lies in putting it all together.

“Absolutely (it’s alarming),” Yurcich said. “It’s a combination of things. I wish I could tell you it’s just one thing.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs.

Senator attends homecoming, plans term Catherine Sweeney @CathJSweeney

Not all Cowboy fans went to Oklahoma State.

Sen. Jim Inhofe flew his orange plane to Stillwater on Saturday morning. The Tulsa alum was wearing a black OSU polo and heading to tailgate for homecoming.

Inhofe, a Republican, assumed office in 1994 and is a ranking member of the Committee on the Environment and Public Works, as well as well as the Armed Services Committee.

He flew in from South Dakota, where he was helping campaign for a Repub-

lican senate hopeful, Mike Rounds.

Rounds, a former governor, has been polling about 15 points ahead of his opponent. But Larry Pressler, a “disgruntled Republican,” joined the race late as an independent, Inhofe said.

This worried the party.

If elected, Rounds will join Inhofe on the EPW committee. The two have already started working on legislative goals.

One of those goals is passing a transportation reauthorization bill, which finances roads and highways.

Gasoline taxes feed the fund this bill uses, the Highway Trust Fund.

“There was a time ... we always had a surplus,”

Inhofe said. “For obvious reasons, it’s changed.”

Alternative engines, like ones using electricity or compressed natural gas, are becoming more popular.

There’s now a $15 billion shortage. This could be a problem. Without a longterm bill like the one Inhofe hopes to pass in May, the U.S. Department of Transportation might not be able to appoint funds to state departments of transporation.

This could led to canceled projects, like updating obsolete bridges in Oklahoma and the widening of I-40, which runs through Oklahoma City, and I-44, which runs through Tulsa.

Although worrisome, the highway issue is not at the

forefront of Inhofe’s agenda.

“My major concern right now is what the president has done to our military,” he said. “It’s a killer.”

There have been $487 billion in cuts, which have resulted in reducing arms — like the F22 fighter jet — and cuts in staff.

“Under (Barack) Obama’s sequestration, we would have the smallest ground forces since 1940, the smallest fleet of ships since 1915, and the smallest tactical fighter force in the history of the Air Force,” Inhofe said in a statement.

The money once being used for military equipment and personnel is being siphoned to other projects now. “$120 billion (is going)

into global warming,” he said. “A lot of ... students probably like that idea.”

Inhofe is public about his belief that global warming is natural, not man-made.

The senator is up for reelection this year, running against an underdog democratic candidate, Matt

Silverstein. CBS News polls predict Inhofe will receive more than 60 percent of the vote on Nov. 4. news@ocolly.com See the O’Colly next Monday for a special Election Day edition.

OSU is America’s Healthiest Campus, or is it?

Natalie Price @NataliePPrice

Oklahoma State University bears the title “America’a Healthiest Campus” not necessarily because it is, but because it is trying to be.

Suzanne Harrington, Oklahoma State University’s chief wellness officer, said there isn’t a way to measure which campus is the healthiest. Harrington has been working with other universities create a system.

So why has Oklahoma State claimed to be “America’s Healthiest Campus”?

“We were the first to have a stand alone wellness center, one of the first two campuses to be completely tobacco free, the first to have a comprehensive pet therapy program, the first to have certified healthy departments… and I am the first dedicated chief wellness officer,” Harrington said.

The Department of Wellness promotes employee, student and community health. It created a wellness model that helps people find information about wellness on campus.

OSU has been striving for many years to become “America’s Healthiest Campus,” and Harrington said it even trademarked the slogan to be closer to the goal. The university implemented programs that give students and faculty the opportunity to live healthier.

PROGRAMS The Department of Wellness’ programs target a variety of audiences. Ac-

cording to its website, the Department of Wellness offers nutrition counseling, health risk assessments, cooking classes, group fitness, intramurals, club activities, outdoor adventure, adaptive sports, personal training, massage therapy and employee assistance.

There are close to 50 intramural sports, 30 sports clubs and 160 fitness classes offered each week.

“Our classes have grown every year,” said Kent Bunker, the Department of Wellness Director. “Our program last year was at an all-time high ... and as we start this year, we are seeing increases.”

Walking trails started popping up last semester.

Bronze madallions map out the routes. “(The trails are) one more initiative to draw peoples’ attention to wellness and being active,” Bunker said.

HEALTHY EATING The Department of Wellness has also added several nutrition guides to help students and faculty make healthy eating decisions. Dining Services has won awards for having the best local foods and being the most innovative wellness and nutrition program by the National Association of College and University Food Services.

University Dining Services has created easy ways for students to eat healthy. The Choose Orange program helps students choose food following the United States Department of Agriculture’s dietary guidelines. The food items that qualify are indicated with the Choose

Although OSU has not officially been named America’s Healthiest Campus, it is still striving to become the

model for other schools. The university has won numerous awards that indicate that the initiative has not been a lost cause.

“OSU has done a good job creating options for students to become healthy, but now it is in the students hands to decided if they want to use

those options,” said Kristin Whisenhunt a Nutritional Science sophomore. news@ocolly.com PAGE 4

5 years of hard work pays off for Johnson

Teddy Johnson’s 8-yard touchdown reception in OSU’s 34-10 loss to West Virginia was his first score as a Cowboy.

Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz With the time between touchdowns, the Oklahoma State offense must have forgotten what it’s like to be in an end zone.

But the Cowboys’ streak couldn’t compare to fullback Teddy Johnson’s.

Johnson, a senior, scored his first touchdown as a Cowboy in Saturday’s 34-10 loss to West Virginia. It’s the only offensive touchdown OSU has scored in the last 10 quarters and ended a streak of seven

quarters without an offensive touchdown.

Johnson ran right out of the backfield before quarterback Daxx Garman threw his way. When Johnson caught the ball, he saw no one in front of him, and he ran 8 yards for his first career score.

“It was great feeling,” Johnson said. “Anybody will tell you it’s a fullback’s dream to be in the game and have that play call. When I got caught that ball, turned around and saw nobody there, it was just a fantastic feeling.”

The touchdown was setup by a 51-yard end-around run by receiver Brandon

MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2014

Sheperd. OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich praised Johnson’s blocking on the play.

For Johnson, the touchdown almost seemed like a reward from the coaching staff for the block.

“I put a lot into this program,” he said. “I know that they rewarded me with that, and it’s a tremendous feeling to be appreciated like that.”

In reality, it wasn’t just the reward for one block, but also the result of five years of dedication and hard work to the program.

Johnson, from Coppell, Texas, walked on at OSU as a linebacker after leading Coppell High School in

tackles his senior season.

“There’s never been any doubt in my mind where I was going to go to school,” he said. “Both of my parents are alumni here. I saw an opportunity to play football here and I took it. There was no chance of going anywhere else.”

After redshirting a season, Johnson began to contribute to the Cowboys primarily on special teams.

Before Saturday’s game, Johnson had 26 career tackles with two fumble recoveries.

After his sophomore season, Johnson converted from linebacker to fullback.

“In the past, we’ve had a

O’COLLY

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

lot of great fullbacks here,” he said. “A lot of them graduated, and we were running low on numbers. Typically, fullbacks are transferred over from linebackers. They (the coaching staff ) saw an opportunity for me and I took it.”

After having Johnson at fullback for multiple seasons, OSU gave him a gift greater than any touchdown: Johnson was placed on scholarship for 2014, his final season.

“I’ve poured a lot of my time and whatnot into this program,” he said. “To be rewarded back like that is a tremendous feeling.”

Before Saturday, the last

time Johnson had scored was his freshman year of high school in 2006, when he played halfback.

“I scored quite a bit of touchdowns back then,” he said. “I was quite a bit bigger and faster than everybody, so they would just flip it out to me on a screen and I would just take it 50 or 60 (yards).”

After being switched to the defensive side of the ball, he stopped scoring.

“I kind of forgot that feeling for a while,” Johnson said.

He got a reminder on Saturday. sports@ocolly.com PAGE 5

OSU won’t change football sideline policy Stetson Payne @OColly During last week’s Oklahoma Sooners home football game against the Kansas State Wildcats, star OU wide receiver Sterling Shepard went up for a touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone.

When he came down, Tulsa World photographer Mike Simons’ $10,499 400mm F 2.8 Canon lens was in the way.

The landing was hard to watch. Simons avoided the wide receiver as he came back down to earth, but Shepard was visibly hurt as he curled in pain from the

fall onto the lens. Trainers quickly ran over to his assistance, and though he later returned to the game, it provided a scare for OU fans and coaches alike.

As a result of this incident, on Wednesday, OU announced several significant changes to procedures and policy regarding its sideline operations, specifically related to the media.

But Oklahoma State has no plans to alter its sideline policy.

OU’s changes included an emphasis on stadium staff to leave a clear field of view for photographers when the ball is in play so that photographers can better anticipate plays like the one that injured Shepard.

Similarly, OU prohibited

equipment such as tripods and monopods from the field because their bulk and rigidity pose a risk to players overrunning the sidelines on a play.

Extra equipment including lenses and stands are now limited to only what can be carried on the photographer’s person because it was equipment left on the ground next to Simons that Shepard landed on. Furthermore, media members have been restricted from standing on the tarp near the tunnel toward the locker room where Simons was located.

Gavin Lang, Oklahoma State’s assistant athletic director for media relations, said OSU’s rules largely already cover some of the fixes

OU made.

“Due to safety concerns, we don’t let photographers shoot with tripods or monopods,” Lang said via email.

Interestingly, O’Colly staff photographers commonly use monopods when shootings games, as do photographers from most media outlets.

The OSU athletic department also has specific areas where photographers are prohibited because of the risk of injury not only to themselves, but the players. “…We clearly communicate where photographers can and cannot shoot from on a map we give them when they receive their photo armbands,” Lang said.

In addition to equipment restrictions and established

Counseling services encounters record demand Zach Baden @ZachBaden Trevor Richardson, assistant director of University Counseling Services, has been at OSU since he graduated in 1999, but says his office has never been so busy.

Students dealing with a variety of mental health issues — ­ from homesickness to substance addiction — are eligible for treatment and therapy from University Counseling Services. But students needing or wanting to use these resources are having a harder time accessing them because of increased demand. The

amount of requests is so high, many are unable to get appointments for two or three weeks, unless an appointment is canceled.

Richardson said his staff of full-time counselors, psychologists and part-time graduate students is working at capacity and has had 181 more direct contract hours with clients than at this point in the 2013 school year.

“It’s not normal for the fall semester from the time that I’ve been here,” Richardson said. “The demand has been significantly higher.”

Another problem is students are not taking full advantage of the appointments they are able to make.

Richardson said that no-

show clients are an issue.

“When a student schedules an appointment and doesn’t show up, not only do we not see that student, that’s also an hour we can’t use for another student to get them in more quickly,” he said. “So that kind of gets us two ways there.”

Unfortunately, Richardson said there isn’t a true solution to the problem in the near future.

All offices are occupied by full-time staff or graduate volunteers. An increase in funding or staff wouldn’t help; there’s no room.

Staff members have heories about why the sudden increase has occurred.

“My hope is that the stigma related to mental health treatment has gone down,

and more people are willing to come in, and that our marketing that we’ve done is working, so more people are aware of us,” Richardson said. “But I couldn’t say one or two things that directly caused the jump.”

There is research to support this claim.

University of Indiana Institute for Social Research has attempted to track the public stigma surrounding mental health since the early 1990s. The researchers found government and nonprofit initiatives have begun to change perceptions about mental illness.

The research showed the slow reversal of public opinion is enough convince a significant amount of people they need to seek

Notebook: Brittany Buckets leads Cowgirls Chandler Vessels @ChandlerVessels

Brittney Martin has been working hard on one specific aspect of her game this offseason: scoring.

The junior guard is aware that someone is going to have to make up for the loss of scoring with Tiffany Bias gone. Part of that will be point guard Roshunda Johnson, but Martin knows that she is going to need to produce at a different level this season. She could very well lead the team in scoring this season.

Martin, who was second on the team in points per game with 11.8 in 2013-14,

spent a lot of time honing her 3-point shot this offseason.

“I’m a mid-range player, everybody knows that,” Martin said. “But I think I need to step up and go to the next level in my game, and that’s where I need to do that.”

OSU coach Jim Littell has taken notice of Martin’s hard work.

“She’s upped her game,” he said. “I think she realizes now that she’s one of the feature options of this program. I think Brittney this year is going to embrace the role of being a scorer more.”

LOECKER STEPPING INTO LEADERSHIP ROLE Katelyn Loecker was in

prime position to take over a starting role this season, but an injury has wrecked that plan; Loecker will be sidelined for this semester.

But Loecker, a sophomore forward, hasn’t allowed the injury to slow her down. She’s already back and participating in a few team drills, and is embracing the role of a leader more. She brings energy and encouragement to every practice, a motivator for her teammates.

She says that when she does return, she is ready to leave her mark.

“This summer, I just felt a lot more relaxed and I was ready to go,” Loecker said.

“Obviously the injury is a little setback, but I still feel I’m more relaxed than I was

last year.”

In the absence of Loecker, the question that looms this offseason is who will take over as the fifth starter for the Cowgirls. With Johnson, Martin, Liz Donohoe and LaShawn Jones all cemented, OSU is only missing that final piece.

Littell mentioned a number of different Cowgirls who could fill the void.

Brittany Atkins, who started nine games at guard last season, is an option.

Littell also listed Riley Swanson, a JUCO forward who has received good reviews so far and Mandy Coleman, a 6-foot-3 freshman, as potential starters.

“There are a lot of different candidates and it gives us options of playing differ-
