MAKE OR BREAK Why Mike Yurcich’s time to prove himself is now or never. Page 2

Column: Year 2 will make or break Mike Yurcich Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

Mike Yurcich is not so different from you and me. The only separator? Yurcich happens to be calling plays for the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturdays while rest of us sit on the couch or in the stands or in the press box. From that vantage point, it’s easy to criticize. To blast Yurcich for calling another screen pass. To curse after another nonsensical run up the middle. No arguing here: Yurcich’s playcalling after coming from Division II Shippensburg to replace Todd Monken last season has been flawed. And in Year Two, there’s no doubt Yurcich will be put to the test. But what might matter more that how many yards Tyreek Hill gained on a second-down screen pass is what goes on behind the scenes. In the spring. In the fall. Every day during the week. Cowboys receiver David Glidden said that’s where Yurcich has made as much a difference as anyone. “I think he’s brought a lot of fire and intensity,” Glidden said. “I think it used to be, before he got here, we were going out in practice slinging the ball around, throwing things around. Now everbody goes in focused and does their job.” Interesting, seeing as Monken was known for nothing more than an intensity level highlighted by frequent spells of yelling

and cursing. But it seems the more lowkey Yurcich has found a better way to deliver the same message. “I think he’s just got a passion for the game,” Glidden said. “You can really see it when he coaches. Coach Yurcich loves the game of football.” Yurich gets his point across less through vocals and more through approaching every day with a certain contagious demeanor. “I’m not a screamer or a yeller,” Yurcich said. “I have been at other places. I don’t really need to do that (at OSU).” It might not be via yelling, but in second year in Stillwater, more of Yurcich’s personality is coming out. That could eventually mean more of his own wrinkles in the Cowboys offense. “He’s taken control in practice,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said in fall camp. “He’s involved in every step in the huddle. He’s coaching everybody on the field, and he’s just different now than he was. If you think about it, he all of a sudden went from the local hometown newspaper to USA Today, so it’s a little different. “We had a couple of issues last year that kept us from being as good as we needed to be, but as the season went on with his presence, you could tell we got better on offense. He’s more comfortable now.” Like a freshman transitioning to his sophomore year, it’s a process for Yurcich. He’s still often shy around cameras and conservative in playcalling. And as he dives into the thick of his sophomore season, we’ll soon find out what

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

Yurcich is really made of. A year ago, he was a small-town guy thrown into the world of big-time college football. He’s all but admitted the experience was overwhelming. The question now: What will he become? OSU’s next star coordinator? Or Gundy’s biggest bust? An overwhelmed coach? Or a confident leader? Yurcich has all the talent he will ever need at OSU. He has a structured environment. He has an up-tempo style that can be hell for the opposition. So for Yurcich, the answer to these questions might be found not on the field, but in self-discovery. “I’m not here to entertain,” Yurcich said. “I’m not here to be flashy. This is not about me … I think every day is a learning experiece. For me, just trying to become more genuine is something I’ve been trying to do for a long time, and it’s not always easy. It really isn’t. But every day, I think you can become more and more of who you are, and that’s really important to focus on and remind yourself of and try to do daily.” If there’s one thing he has going, it’s passion. “(Football) is something that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up,” Yurcich said. “I love competing and I love coaching these guys … To come to work every day in a facility like this, at this university, is such a blessing in my life. I feel like the luckiest guy on the face of the earth, to be honest with you.” But in Year Two, it will ultimately be about results. No more excuses. No more

learning curve. If Yurcich gives in to scrutiny and pressure, this season will break him. If he continues to grow and excel as a coach, as a playcaller, as a person, it will make him. “That’s the whole goal, to improve every day,” Yurcich said. “I don’t know if I have, but I hope that’s the case.” sports@ocolly.com

GAME GUIDE: MISSOURI STATE Kieran’s Keys

Show up

No disrespect to the Bears, but this is a classic tune-up game for OSU. This is a chance to celebrate football being back in Stillwater, boost the team’s confidence and allow backups to earn letters. MSU will walk away with a fat check and the experience of playing a Power Five team.

Keep the Walsh Train moving

Love it or hate it, J.W. Walsh is the starting quarterback, and he’ll be better off without the imminent threat of being benched hanging over his head constantly. Backup quarterback Daxx Garman will certainly get some snaps in garbage time, but know it’s Walsh’s team.

Log some minutes

The youth of the team was one of the preseason themes for the Cowboys. Well, games like this are the perfect chance for the younger players to get some valuable playing experience. It’s not a conference opponent, but any playing time would be very beneficial.

‘As Above, So Below’ provides cheap scares Brandon Schmitz @SchmitzReviews

The original “Paranormal Activity” revitalized the found-footage horror genre, paving the way for myriad me-toos. And although “As Above, So Below” aims to be more refreshing; its stock characters and shallow thrills weigh the proceedings down. A cross between “Blair Witch Project” and “Tomb Raider,” the film follows a team of explorers who de-

cide to delve into the catacombs beneath the streets of Paris. They discover they’ve entered a city of the dead; spookhouse hijinks ensue, and the audience — here’s to hoping — doesn’t fall asleep. The performances are among the few semi-effective aspects of this film. Sure, every team member fits his or her horror movie stereotype, and I’d be hard pressed to find one character whom I genuinely cared about. That said, the ambitious, Lara Croft-esque Scarlett (Perdita Weeks) shows

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

hints of intrigue, and there is even a bit of camaraderie early on among the rest of the group. Everyone does an admirable job with the material given, which is more than I can say about the cast of many recent horror films. “As Above’s” opening is one of the worst I’ve seen this year, as it has virtually no connection to the rest of the story. The mythology, too, is so messy that I rarely knew what these explorers were even searching for. Ultimately, though, the movie just isn’t scary. Although audio should be

an integral part of almost any horror film, “As Above” relies too heavily on cheap jump scares. There’s no tension — only the anticipation of a loud noise. The movie uses its claustrophobic environment to its advantage on a couple of occasions — not often enough. Seriously, this film would’ve benefitted as a first-person reimagining of 2005’s “The Descent.” I’m surprised this movie didn’t release in January. C’mon, August. You’re better than that. news@ocolly.com

‘Madden 15’ boasts improvements, fun glitches Miles Clements @MilesDailyMovie

The question all sports game fans ask in the fall: Is Madden worth buying this year? The short answer is yes, but what makes Madden 15 a must-have this fall is the major defensive improvements. Many Madden games of the past have advertised offensive improvements for a more exciting game, but this year the defense receives intelligence upgrades, giving players the ability to read and react faster than ever before.

One of the more popular critiques of the Madden series is that each new version is simply a roster change and features minor graphics improvements. Regardless of these claims, Madden always seems to boast gamechanging upgrades, and this year’s version might have the most recognizable changes we have seen from the series in several years. Game developers have had a year to test out next-gen capabilities, and Madden 15 is a great insight into console gaming’s eighth generation. The defense might be the greatest improvement, but the offense is just as fun. There is a new

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

playcalling system on both sides of the ball, but it’s a useful tool when it comes time to lead your offense down the field for a gamewinning drive. A menu is now available during games, giving the player statistics and suggestions for specific routes or packages to beat the coverage on a certain down. Ultimate Team is always a draw for experienced players and Madden newbies alike. Last year, Madden 25 had several reported bugs within the Ultimate Team game mode, but Madden 15 has resolved the issues, making it easier for the gamer See MADDEN Page 9

OSU BREAKING GROUND ON NEW BUSINESS BUILDING Oklahoma State University is breaking ground for a new business building at 4 p.m. Friday on the Stillwater campus. All OSU students, faculty and staff are invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new home for the Spears School of Business. The groundbreaking ceremony is the first major step in the construction of the new facility, which will replace the current Business Building, which has been in use since 1966. “This new building is a major step in the process of transforming our campus,” says OSU President Burns Hargis. “As a Spears School graduate myself, I look forward to seeing all that will be accomplished because of it. And this would not be possible without the many donors who recognized the need for this facility and stepped up to provide the necessary funding.” Construction on the new building will begin in early 2015, with completion scheduled for 2017. “This is not just a new facility. It’s going to allow us to transform

The new building will create a unified space for the Spears School, which currently has faculty and staff using four building across campus. It will include an inviting space to encourage students from other colleges to take at least one business course while attending OSU. The design of the building continues the Georgian tradition of the Stillwater campus. The building will be the eastern bookend of the main quad and include an outdoor space for football game days and other special events. Hester Street will become pedestrian friendly, similar to the recent improvements to Monroe Street between

Spencer takes no solace in loss Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz The Cowboys could be holding their heads high after nearly pulling off Oklahoma State’s first win over a No. 1 team, but OSU’s defensive coordinator left AT&T Stadium wanting more. OSU lost to the Florida State Seminoles, 37-31, in a game that practically no one expected to be that close. That would seem like a positive for the Cowboys, to play the reigning national champions within a touchdown of an upset. Defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer doesn’t think so. “We lost the game,” he said. “I’m getting all of these questions like I would get after we won a football game, and we didn’t. We didn’t do what we had to do on our side of the ball. “Nobody should be patting us on the back.” The defense allowed passes of 21, 51 and

62 yards and a 28-yard touchdown run by FSU’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Jameis Winston. Spencer’s biggest concern was the players letting the positivity floating around a loss get to their heads, allowing them to get complacent, rather than focusing on eliminating big plays. “Everything’s poison out there right now that’s patting them on the back until they’ve done something,” he said. “We didn’t hold our opponent to less than what we scored. All of this is really garbage about what they’ve done and what they’ve accomplished because we haven’t accomplished anything yet.” The second-year coordinator was able to take away some positives that could be valued in the coming weeks, such as the players’ efforts. “I was impressed by how hard they worked and how physical (they were),” he said. “They had the confidence level. Hopefully, it’ll come from that, not

from the perception of ‘We played a great team close.’” Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah sacked Winston twice, while 290-pound defensive tackle Ofa Hautau chased Winston from the line of scrimmage on the quarterback’s touchdown run, constantly exerting max effort. Ogbah’s performance was awarded Monday; the defensive end was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. In 2013, nine Cowboys earned weekly honors. Cornerback Ashton Lampkin and linebacker Seth Jacobs both had an interception. There were moments for the Cowboys to be proud of, but Spencer doesn’t believe the Cowboys should carry momentum away from the loss. “I see how that could be perceived, but that’s not how I look at it,” Spencer said. “That’s not how, hopefully, we’ve got to teach them (the players) not to look at it.” The easiest way for the Cowboys to correct their

mistakes is through evaluating film, while continuing to be aggressive and physical. “We get that right, we’re going to have a chance to not let this happen again,” he said. Saturday at 2:30 p.m., the Cowboys will take on the Missouri State Bears at Boone Pickens Stadium, giving them a chance to get their first win of the season. “They know they were close to winning the game, but we didn’t do what we had to do to win the game,” Spencer said. “The only way they can take care of that is to do it this week.” sports@ocolly.com

Madden: next-gen game includes improved playcalling system.

From Page 5 to deal with contracts and manage their team with a more user-friendly interface. A popular Madden feature making headlines since its release has nothing to do with improving from last year. The highly evolved physics engine used in Madden is at its best this year, but that comes with a few glitches. Videos of the “Tiny Titan” and “Flying Man” have circulated this week, and the publicity has

only helped the popular franchise. The “Tiny Titan” is a humorous glitch featuring Cleveland Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey. One Madden user, who had Kirksey playing for the Tennessee Titans, caught a strange glitch on camera. Kirksey is listed at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, but the physics engine malfunctioned during the game and shrunk the third-round draft pick down to 1-foot-2 inches. Another trendy glitch making its way around the gaming circuits is of a seemingly stationary defensive player who shoots straight up, as if the ground beneath him were spring-loaded. This can happen to any defensive player at any time, tossing

him 20 yards into the air, and when he eventually comes down, it could be 10-30 yards anywhere from his previous spot. Madden 15 is a much more balanced game compared to previous years. There will always be random errant throws leading to turnovers, but that’s part of the game. The offensive features mix well enough with the defensive upgrades to minimize broken television screens. Madden is never perfect, and without any football video game competition, there’s no rush to make a flawless NFL game. The return of 2K football is approaching, but for now, Madden is more than satisfactory. news@ocolly.com

JACKIE’S SIX PACK Jackie Dobson @OColly

Sam Adams

When I’m looking for a cheap, quality six pack this is my go-to. A craft beer made affordable by a big brewery, I’m all about it.

PBR

The best 30-pack you can buy, hands down. This might be the hipster beer, but if you drink enough, you won’t care what people call you.

I love dogs, I love photography, I love adventure and, most of all, I love beer. I get to be the one to open all the uncharted bottles in the liquor stores throughout Stillwater, so you don’t have to. The good, the bad and the ugly, I drink them all. Now, because you have me, you can pick your weekend six pack with confidence, and you’ll never throw out a bad beer again. You’re welcome.

Shiner

You know as well as I do that half this campus is from Texas. Be the most popular tent at this week’s tailgate with a keg of Shiner from The Barn.

Bud Light

I know you’re going to do it anyway. But just know that there are better options. So next time before you buy this 30-pack, think of the crying beer lovers out there.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2014

Coors

For the love of beer, please choose Coors Original over Coors Light. We all know we’re going to drink enough beer for a beer gut anyway; who cares about the calories at this point?

Keystone Light

DON’T. Please. This isn’t beer. I refuse to believe that after we all graduate from this university that we’ll ever drink this again. So why do it now? Stop.
