If OSU were to tie Friday and WVU wins at Kansas, the teams would share the title.

However, if OSU loses and WVU wins, then the Cowgirls would end up second.

OSU coach Colin Carmichael has been a part of every Cowgirl championship team, but said this match will be one of the biggest he has coached in.

Carmichael said the team has tried to not focus on the implications of the match because beating a talented Texas team will be hard enough.

“I think there’s a little bit of nerves from our team obviously ‘cause they know what’s at stake,” he said. “But more than that it’s just exciting. We’re just excited to be in this situation and have the opportunity to play for (the title).

Predicting what happens in any sporting event or season can be a fool’s errand because anything can happen. vs.

said. “If I think about it too much it might mess up my touch.”

OSU and Texas have gone back and forth in the series, but the Cowgirls are 3-0-2 in the past five meetings. Beffer said Texas is a good team that has been ranked high for a reason, and the Cowgirls expect a challenge.

“Obviously this year they’ve had a great season, which gets our attention, but so have we,” Beffer said. “I think we’re playing some of our best soccer that we’ve played in a really long time, so I’m pretty confident in what we have.”

OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said the aforementioned quarterbackreceiver tandem is the best in the country, making his defense’s performance pivotal.

The Cowboys (6-1, 3-1) are coming off what OSU coach Mike Gundy said was OSU’s best defensive performance of the year. But Daniels, a junior defensive tackle, won’t let the high praise feed his ego.

“Oh, we still suck,” Daniels said. “That’s the way we think of it. Watching film, we’ll be like, ‘Aye, bro! That was a good play… but you’re still trash.’

“Even in practice, (defen-

sive backs) drop picks. We’re like, ‘Bro, that’s not OK. It’s practice, but it’s not OK.’ They’ll hit pushups right there. If we jump offside, we’ll hit pushups right there.”

In evaluating WVU’s defense, offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich credited the Mountaineers, saying they do a good job of outnumbering offenses in the run game, as well as disguising pass coverage.

“It’s a hell of a challenge that we have in front of us, that’s for sure,” Yurcich said. “…You better adjust or adapt. That’s kinda the beauty of football.”

TCU is the only undefeated team remaining in the Big 12. The conference’s parity makes it anyone’s guess as to who will play for the title Dec. 2.

“We haven’t played a perfect game yet,” Daniels said.

“And you’re never gonna play a perfect game. So right now we just practice for perfection, and since we know we’re never gonna get there, we’re never satisfied.”

20 characters has their own unique personalities. Brolin and Teller bring particularly strong performances, and Connelly shows she is still a solid actress. Each relationship feels important, impactful, complex and not one-dimensional unlike most movie relationships.

Along with the story and characters, this movie also boasts breathtaking cinematography.

Claudio Miranda is behind the lens, responsible for beautiful movies like “The Life of Pi” and “Oblivion.” The shots are stunning, showcasing the scope and scale of the wildfires in their terrible beauty. The shots of the firefighters picking through a blackened forest scape from directly overhead is haunting and is an image that will stick in your

mind forever.

Joseph Kosinski directs the movie wonderfully, making each character and event important, no matter how small or large they are. He balances the cast of 20 firefighters, their wives and girlfriends, and town characters beautifully. It is no easy task to make each character impactful when there are 20 of them, but it is done so well it feels natural. Brolin and Teller are given the most time, obviously, but they feel no more important than any other man in the story.

The only downside for this movie is its awkward length. While a running time of two hours and 15 minutes is quite long for a movie like this, it almost needs to be longer. The ending feels slightly rushed,

OCOLLY.COM

but this might be the sudden shock of it more than pacing. Pacing in the middle, however, lags a bit. The first hour moves well, with the crew working toward certification and Teller’s character working toward redemption. After the first hour, the movie spends about 30 minutes at a slower pace, delving into the lives of every member and skipping ahead a few months at a time. After this, the movie picks right back up and moves toward the ending.

Without revealing spoilers, “Only the Brave” delivers one of the most emotional movies in the last 10 years.

When the movie ends, you’ll find a hard time spotting a dry eye in the theater. In my showing, nobody moved for nearly ten minutes after

the credits started rolling, which is something I haven’t seen in a long time. The movie will rock audiences to their core with its heartbreaking ending.

“Only the Brave” is a big surprise this year, honoring firefighters and their families, as well as the sacrifices they make. It is done tastefully, emotionally, and beautifully, showcasing the awesome imagery of wildfires while keeping the scope of the story focused on its characters. Expect to get hit in the feels at the end. This movie is definitely a must see and earns a 9.5 out of 10 rating.
