as their 33 carries resulted in a mere 17 yards. The Mountaineers haven’t been dominated like this all season, as the Cowboys came in and handled their business. 7: Kansas – Lost 35-10 against Kansas State Two weeks removed from nearly pulling off the biggest upset this year, the Jayhawks have plummeted to reality very quickly. After being beaten down by Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks traveled back home to face off against their rival, Kansas State. The Wildcats, although entering with a 5-3 record, have had their ups and downs throughout the season as well, so the window wasn’t completely closed for a Jayhawks upset. From the first offensive possession
for the Jayhawks, they already looked outmatched. The Jayhawks first offensive possession was a seven-play drive that lasted over four and a half minutes... but they still only moved 15 yards. From there, it was all Wildcats, as on the ensuing possession they scored a touchdown and proceeded to outscore the Jayhawks 21-3 throughout the first half. Where the Jayhawks really struggled was converting on third downs, as they continued to not keep possessions alive. They were 3-13 on third downs, compared to the Wildcats 6-9. Another area of struggle was the running game, as the Jayhawks only averaged 2.9 yards per carry.

games this season, there is not much tape on Morris for opposing teams to look at. With a strong Cowboy defense, it will be interesting to see how Morris plays Saturday against the many different defensive looks from defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. Weakness: Inconsistency at wide receiver Sophomore wide receiver Quentin Johnston has hauled in 31 receptions for 615 yards and six touchdowns. Following Johnston are senior wide receivers Taye Barber and Derius Davis who both have 25 receptions on the season. After those three the Horned Frogs don’t have much at the receiver position. Even TCU’s best wide receivers have been inconsistent this year and not showed up in keys games. In their loss against Kansas State, Barber and
Johnston combined for just four catches for 20 yards. TCU will need the best versions of its wide receivers against OSU to come away with the victory against a veteran Cowboy defense. Strength: Converting on third down The Horned Frogs offense has been consistent so far this year at converting when it matters most. TCU ranks No. 10 in the nation when it comes to converting on third down, converting 61 times on 125 attempts. The Cowboy defense ranks No. 2 in the nation on third down defense. It is a matchup that could have a lot of impact on the game come Saturday. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Notebook: Gundy provides injury update, relationship with Kill
Courtesy of OSU Athletics
Dean Ruhl Sports Editor Mike Gundy wasn’t the best high school student. He will be the first person to tell you, and interim TCU coach Jerry Kill would probably agree. After all, he was Gundy’s biology teacher at Midwest City in 1984. “(Kill was) a motivator,” Gundy said. “No excuses. You know, very traditional, old-school mentality.” Gundy, Oklahoma State’s football coach, was more eager for the 2:30 p.m. dismissal bell signaling time for football or baseball practice than dissecting
animals Kill left the Bombers in 1985, accepting the defensive coordinator position at Pittsburgh State, and bouncing around different coaching positions over the next three decades. He arrived at TCU in 2020, serving an assistant to the head coach role to then coach Gary Patterson, who was fired on Oct. 31. “He is an old-school tough guy that I’ve always had a lot of respect for and what he has been able to accomplish,” Gundy said. Despite Kill being a head coach from 1994-2015, and Gundy being one since 2005, they have yet to coach against each other. With OSU hosting TCU this Saturday at 7 p.m., Gundy will finally coach against his former biology teacher. IR clearing up Prior to the West Virginia game, running back Dezmon Jackson hadn’t carried the ball since Sept. 11 against
Tulsa. Jackson, who was dealing with an undisclosed injury, returned this past Saturday against the Mountaineers, earning a single carry for three yards. “He practiced last week, full speed,” Gundy said. “The week before he was probably 90%, but I feel good about where he is at now.” Cowboy back Braden Cassity suffered a right ankle injury against WVU on the Cowboys opening drive, missing the remainder of the game. He received X-rays after a lengthy visit to the locker room, before returning to the sideline. He attempted running multiple times on the sideline but wasn’t cleared to return. “Cassity will be a guy that we’ll evaluate in the middle of the week,” Gundy said. “He could be the one guy that we might not have, but everybody else is in pretty good shape.” Linebacker Devin Harper exited

the game in the fourth quarter after a tackle, holding his left shoulder. Postgame he had ice on the shoulder but said he had only suffered a “stinger”. Basketball’s ban This past Wednesday, the NCAA upheld its ruling on OSU’s basketball team, keeping the Cowboys out of the NCAA Tournament this season. Gundy said he didn’t know the details of the situation, making it hard for him to comment on the issue, but said he thought it was unfair. He said he had not reached out to coach Mike Boynton and regrets not talking to anyone about it. “I’m not a basketball guy, but I still coach young people,” Gundy said. “I’ve just stayed out of the whole deal. I didn’t like the way it was handled, but that is none of my business.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

West Virginia only had 133 total yards, and after their first possession where they made a field goal, they were held off the scoreboard for the rest of the game and only had 69 total yards of offense. Where the Cowboy defense really clamped down on the Mountaineers was in the run game, as the Mountaineers ran the ball 33 times for 17 yards, averaging 0.5 yards per carry. The Cowboy defense had eight sacks, as they dominated the trenches. Quarterback Spencer Sanders also had a solid game, as he threw for two touchdowns and managed the Cowboy offense well. Wide receiver Tay Martin had seven receptions and caught both Sanders’ touchdown passes, so the offense had a productive game as well. sports.ed@ocolly.com

OSU students hold Julius Jones rally
Branson Evans
OkState Stand United held a rally urging people to contact Gov. Stitt to accept Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation.
Jaden Besteda Staff Reporter
OkState Stand United (OKSSU) hosted a rally drawing attention to Julius Jones and encouraged people to contact Gov. Kevin Stitt to accept the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board’s recommendation. Jones has been on death row for the murder of Paul Howell, an Edmond businessman and father in 1999. Jones
has maintained his innocence for over 20 years. After hearing from Jones, the board voted 3-1 recommending clemency. The decision goes to Stitt on whether he is executed or not. OKSSU is a multicultural studentled organization dedicated to multiple social causes and pushing for a more equitable community at OSU. At the event, students addressed Stitt. “Gov. Stitt, you cannot save Julius Jones life alone by accepting this clemency hearing, the only way an innocent
man can get his life back is by getting his freedom back so the clemency is the first step but it isn’t the last.” said Jayden Powell, an Okstate Stand United member. On Oct. 28 Oklahoma put to death John Grant, who reportedly convulsed and vomited as he was executed. Grant’s execution was the first to take place since 2015 after the state halted the death penalty after the botched execution of Clayton Lockett and that of Charles Warner. Jones’ execution
date is scheduled for Nov. 18. Tasneem Al-Michael, a member of Julius Jones team, also addressed Stitt. “Use your power in the best way you possibly can, you have a man’s life in your hand. The answer is really simple and easy,” Al-Michael said. “Free Julius Jones there’s a lot of good that can be accomplished if you stand on the right side of history.” news.ed@ocolly.com

Eternals provides Marvel one of it’s most emotional stories yet Jaden reviews

Given that there’s over 10 characters in the movie that get over about 30 minutes of screentime, Eternals does seem to be filled with so much plot and lore it’s sure to be confusing at times. However, the star studMarvel Studios has broadened their horizon ded cast does a wonderful job with every scene no of late. From when we first met the now wide and matter what it is.

This tandem we see the most of and they drive the Eternals isn’t like any Marvel film we’ve seen story forward. before. Director Chloe Zhao uses every character in I think the pairings were done to show how the film and gives them something important to do. human the Eternals are. From the very beginning
it’s understood that the Eternals are not like regular Humans or even superheroes. They quite literally have been here for all of time and that leads to very different views on humanity and on whether or not it’s worth saving. Scenes which I think are some of the most compelling I’ve seen from a superhero film. Eternals is Marvel’s first for a lot. Marvel’s first sex scene. Marvel’s first gay couple and kiss. Marvel’s first negative Rotten Tomato Score. Marvel’s first step outside their already well built universe and many others. It’s also the first time that they’ve decided to tackle deep philosophical questions that are still debated to this day. It’s the first time they’ve put relationships in the forefront of storytelling and that to me is what makes it so great.

THE GIFT OF GOD!
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Ro.6:23 NIV) “...all have sinned...” (Ro.3:23) Everyone has sinned and the payoff is death; eternal separation from God; a lake of fire. No matter how you paint it, it is a terrible, eternal state of being. The Bible talks of those who “because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath.” (Ro.2:5 NIV) Those who, with a hard heart, resist and reject God’s help; only store up their terrible wages for the judgment day to come. It is so important to consider and act on God’s love gift. The gift of God is eternal life. At the age of 12 years, my wife heard about God’s free gift of eternal life. In fact, the person sharing with a group of young people had a picture of a gift box with a big, colorful bow on top. God was offering her, that day, this gift, and she stepped out and received it. You see it is a gift. You can’t do enough to earn it, but you must receive it.
This gift is found in one place (person); in Jesus Christ. It is found nowhere else. You only access God through Christ. (Jn.14:6) You need to trust God’s word and turn to Christ, ask and receive his free gift of eternal life. What is included in this eternal gift? You receive the forgiveness of all your sins; they are never to be remembered by God. (Col.1:14, Heb.8:12) You also receive a new life; you are born of God. (Jn.1:12) As you continue to trust in Christ, he will work in and through you his very life given freely to you. When you leave this life in physical death, you will go into his presence forever. (2 Co.5:8)
