Fitting finish
Chris Becker
Fiesta Bowl microcosm of Cowboys’ 2021 season Dean Ruhl Sports Editor GLENDALE, Arizona – College football is often overly romanticized. But, as the football spilled out of Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders’ arm and into those of Notre Dame linebacker Drew White, it only felt fitting the OSU defense had to take the field. A six-point lead, that existed
only because the offense has scored 27 unanswered points, needed to be protected. Less than three minutes remained in the game. The Cowboys, who for the second time had turned the ball over inside the 15-yard line, needed a play to be made. And like they had done all year, OSU called on the defense to do it. They did. The defense allowed just four yards and forced a turnover on downs, in one of the most crucial moments of the season. They returned the ball to the offense, and three OSU run plays later the Fighting Irish were forced to burn their timeouts. A Tanner Brown field goal bumped the Cowboys lead to nine.
30 unanswered points. The Irish would add a touchdown in the closing minutes, avoiding the second half shutout OSU’s defense has become synonymous with dealing out. The Cowboys prevailed in a game OSU coach Mike Gundy called the biggest win in school history. OSU concluded a memorable 12-2 season with a 37-35 win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, after a lastditch ND onside kick was corralled by safety Jason Taylor. Because of course it was grabbed by Taylor. It was only fitting he got it after being a special teams guru the past three seasons at OSU.
“This is clearly the biggest win in the history of the school,” coach Mike Gundy said. The onside kick wouldn’t have even happened had the defense not adjusted at halftime. A lopsided 28-7 ND lead with less than two minutes remaining before intermission spelled a dismal fate for OSU’s season. Without former defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to make adjustments, a strong suit of his, the Cowboys instead had to rely on defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements to step in.

COVID-19 guidance for OSU’s spring semester Anna Pope News Editor
The State of Oklahoma’s COVID-19 case numbers are rising.
File photo
Oklahoma State released updated guidance allowing faculty to choose the format of classes for the first two weeks of school. The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) reported 3,974 new COVID-19 cases on Friday. The uptick in infections is because of increased travel, indoor gatherings, more testing and the omicron variant, according to OSDH. During the break, OSU’s Pandemic Response Team met to monitor the pandemic and because of the rise of omicron cases, the OSU officials sent out new guidance. Although courses will be begin next Monday, for the first two weeks of the semester faculty may choose to how classes can be held. Faculty can offer in-person classes with three choices. - In-person with mandatory masks.
- Hold hybrid classes where students can attend in person with required masks or online. - Have only online instruction. Once the first two weeks of school have ended, faculty can offer classes under the same guidance as last semester. If someone tests positive in a class, faculty can choose to hold classes in-person with masks, move the course online or hold the hybrid instruction style for two weeks. Additionally, OSU is encouraging faculty, staff and students to get tested for COVID-19 before returning to campus. This guidance comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shortened the recommended quarantine period when an individual is diagnosed with COVID-19, and the quarantine time when someone is exposed to the virus. “People with COVID-19 should isolate for five days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by five days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they
encounter,” according to the CDC. In the statement from the CDC, vaccinated individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19 do not need to quarantine, but it is recommended for them to wear a mask for 10 days from their exposer. For individuals who are exposed and unvaccinated, the CDC is suggesting for them to quarantine for 5 days and wear a mask for 10 days following their exposure. Preliminary data continues to be gathered about the omicron variant and according to Dr. Johnny Stephens, OSU’s senior vice president for heath affairs, it shows the variant is highly transmissible and cases numbers are rising. “Early data also indicates cases of COVID-19 from the omicron variant appear to be less severe than the delta variant, particularly among those who are vaccinated and boosted,” Stephens wrote in a statement. “Statistics available show that getting boosters when eligible is extremely important to prevent serious infection.”

Finish... Continued from 1 Having a veteran defense makes adjustments easier, but without Knowles, who consistently was commended for his halftime adaptions, the team opted to go simpler. “The defensive staff wanted to get more aggressive,” linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez said. “We went to our base calls. It is one of those things where we were throwing punches at the line of scrimmage.” Offensively, things needed to be changed at the half too. OSU had scored two touchdowns, but outside of an eight-play, 82-yard drive, the Cowboys had been relegated to sending the punt unit out five times in the first half. The answer to the offensive woes was witnessed in the fleeting moments of the half, as OSU receiver Brennan Presley collected two passes for 54 yards, en route to a late score from receiver Tay Martin.
In the opening drive of the third quarter, Presley would again make a crucial play, the impact unknown at the time. On a third-and-10 play, Sanders threw low toward the sideline, with Presley diving, sliding his arms under the ball and flipping onto his back to make a catch upheld by review. It would lead to another Sandersto-Martin touchdown, pulling the Cowboys within a score. Presley would go on to have 10 catches for 137 yards, a career best. Because of course Presley would have another great bowl game performance. It was only fitting he follow up his 118-yard, three-touchdown, CheezIt Bowl performance with one of the same caliber. As Presley, Martin (who tied the Fiesta Bowl record for receiving touchdowns at three) and Sanders piloted a suddenly humming and uptempo offense, the defensive adjustments were paying off. Notre Dame, who made it clear from the beginning it had no intention of running the ball without starting back Kyren Williams, who declared for the NFL draft weeks ago, opted
for short passes with room to collect yards after catch. It allowed ND quarterback Jack Coan to cruise to 342 passing yards and four touchdowns by halftime. “We got our ass kicked in the first half,” defensive end Brock Martin said. Coan would still set a Fiesta Bowl record for passing attempts (68), finishing the game with 509 passing yards and five touchdowns, but led a stagnant second half Irish offense. On the most promising ND drive of the second half, Coan attempted to hit receiver Kevin Austin on a slant route. The ball instead graced the outreached hands of Rodriguez, who intercepted the pass for the second of his career. Because of course Rodriguez got it. In his final collegiate game, it was only fitting Rodriguez capped off his All-American season with an interception. “I’ve had a fun ride,” Rodriguez said. “Just developing and growing with the guys. It is just one of those things where we ended on a W, so I can’t complain about that.”
Editorial board
A goal line fumble by Presley, and ND tight end Michael Mayer snagging seven catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns, kept the Irish within striking distance, but fell a possession short of winning in coach Marcus Freeman’s debut. Because of course the Cowboys won a tight game. In the final game of the season, it was only fitting the Cowboys concluded a comeback and finished yet another contest with a one-score victory. The 37-35 win epitomized what the 2021 season was for OSU. A defense that always answered the call, an offense that found a way to do enough, a key turnover and a close contest. In a season that will be remembered for record-setting performances, the Cowboys saved the best for last. A 21-point comeback, the largest in school history. “As I’ve said for a month, we have a logo we can be proud of now at Oklahoma State,” Gundy said. “Got an opportunity to do something special. We take advantage of it and find a way to continue to push forward.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Reflecting a July statement Sanders closes roller coaster season on high
Chris Becker
Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter GLENDALE, Arizona — Back in July, Mike Gundy had an interesting quote on Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders. “I feel like the two months that we watched him over spring ball, he has developed more than he has in two years,” Gundy said. Five months later, after OSU
defeated Notre Dame 37-35, Sanders stood on a podium as Fiesta Bowl MVP. The improvement Gundy spoke of and the ups and downs Sanders had as a third year starting quarterback ended in triumph. Sanders led the Cowboys to a 21-point comeback, the largest in school history. Statistically, he played his best game of the season passing for 371 yards and four touchdowns and rushing for another 125 yards. “All in all, Spencer was just on fire tonight, (he) took care of the rock and made good decisions,” offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said. After the game Sanders reflected on the season as a whole. “It was definitely a roller coaster

for me,” Sanders said. “You know I had some bad games; I had some good games. Hopefully you know we take this offseason and come back and every game is a good game.” The times the coaster for Sanders dipped this season like the three and four interception performances against Baylor left fans quick to criticize and cast aside Gundy’s assurance Sanders had drastically improved from his freshman and sophomore years. Senior guard Josh Sills said he knew there would be naysayers after Sanders threw four interceptions in the Big 12 Championship, but that Sanders remained his guy and if anyone wanted to get to Sanders they would have to go through him.
That is a theme from players in the Cowboy locker room. “(Sanders) is capable of doing this,” Presley said. “I mean, people may not see it maybe see one bad game and write him off or stuff. He does it every day in practice so the fact that he comes out here and throws four touchdowns and stuff is not shocking to us.” Now, the statement on Sanders changes. “I’m excited for him and excited for the direction that he’s gone and moving forward,” Dunn said.

Notebook: Muhammad flexes muscles, shows future of defensive backs
Chris Becker
Chris Becker Editor-in-chief GLENDALE, Arizona — Jabbar Muhammad starred toward the Notre Dame marked end zone and sheathed an imaginary sword on his side after making a big play. The sophomore corner saw an increased snap count in Oklahoma State’s Fiesta Bowl meeting with Notre Dame on Saturday. Muhammad had eight total tackles and two pass breakups in the game, both career-highs. With Jarrick Bernard-Converse’s decision on his availability next season for the Cowboys and Christian Holmes out of eligibility, Muhammad and Korie Black have both seen increased workloads.
BE DEFINITE!
It has been a number of years ago that the Lord Jesus challenged me to be definite in making myself available to him. I was attending church regularly. My wife and I were giving to the work of God. We were not doing anything that would be considered wrong in the eyes of God. I thought I was available to Christ. As I prayed about this, I felt the Lord wanted me to spend more consistent time with him. I decided to get up each morning and spend an hour in prayer and in the Bible. The first morning when I knelt at the living room couch, I went to sleep. What a commitment! However, I did not give up. The next morning with my Bible in hand, I walked back and forth across the living room praising, praying and reading the Bible. I was being definite, not perfect, but definite.
“Everything they got today, they deserved. From day one when they got here, we recognized both of them as two dudes that could play. Jabbar is sitting here trying to act like he’s not listening to me,” safety Kolby HarvellPeel said. “Jabbar deserves a lot of love. He played a great game. Every time we’re on the field, I’m talking to him and let him know he’s playing great. Korie made a great play down the sideline. The future is bright in that corner room. As long as they’re in there, we’re going to have two solid guys out on that island.” Cowboys still have decisions to make Tre Sterling, for the second season bowl game in a row, had an announcement for Cowboys fans after the game. Sterling after last season’s CheezIt Bowl win told OSU fans he was returning for another season. But after the Fiesta Bowl his announcement was different, the veteran safety posted a graphic on his Twitter saying he would
King David said, “My heart says of you (God), ‘Seek his Face! Your face, Lord, I will seek.’ (Ps.27:8) David was a man after God’s own heart. He certainly was not perfect, but one who sought after and followed God. Being definite with God has such great reward. He is the Good Shepherd that will faithfully lead our lives into the best and lasting way. As the Lord challenges our lives in various areas of obedience and service, It is so important to be definite; to be clear, to be wholehearted. Go all the way, and do that thing(s) you are challenged to do. Don’t compromise! Possibly God is challenging you about a definite time in prayer and in scripture. Maybe it is in giving; not just occasionally, but often and consistently Maybe it is Christian service; helping is mission work; worthwhile projects. Go for it! Be definite. You will find God definite, and there will be lasting fruit and satisfaction.
be declaring for the 2022 NFL draft and foregoing his remaining eligibility. While he has made a decision on his future, other Cowboys still have not decided what they will be doing when next season rolls around. Harvell-Peel still could return amongst other key defensive players. On offense offensive lineman Josh Sills said his official decision hasn’t been made he said a conversation with coaches is coming. “No, I haven’t decided, but I would say more than likely I won’t be coming back,” Sills said. “But I’m not for sure yet. That will be something I’ll have to sit down with my family, Coach [Rob] Glass, Coach [Mike] Gundy, Coach [Kasey] Dunn, Coach [Charlie] Dickey here in the coming weeks and talk to them about.” Malcolm Rodriguez’ fitting end to career Rodriguez has been a mainstay for multiple seasons on the OSU defense, on Saturday his career as a Cowboy came to an end. Rodriguez made the most of his
he t t ou k c e Ch
final opportunity with a team-high 11 tackles and an interception, the second of his career. The interception game late in the game with Notre Dame driving down the field and OSU needing to stop the Fighting Irish in their tracks. While his playing days in the orange and black are over, Rodriguez teased OSU fans when accepting his defensive MVP award during the trophy ceremony with a subtle, yet loud, ‘I’ll be back.’ Rodriguez clarified what he meant postgame. “I was just trying to do the best for my team. I just wanted to go out with a bang,” Rodriguez said. “I meant I’ll be back for games for sure, coming back and visiting some Stillwater (Oklahoma) games. So that’s what I meant. It’s been fun here. And I just love the guys and love this team.”
