Sills proud of offensive line as run game shows signs of life Tuesday, September 14, 2021

Josh Sills was proud of the effort. Although the run game Saturday still wasn’t on the level of last year’s ground attack, Sills, Oklahoma State’s offensive lineman, gave props to the unit. “None of our guys got frustrated. They believed in our coaches, they believed in our system, they believed in the work that we’ve put in, they stuck to our gameplan honestly,” Sills said. It was certainly a marked improvement from this past week, illustrated by the total rushing yards rising from 54 to 140. The performance by the backfield still didn’t look good on paper, but statistics don’t always tell the whole story. The 140 rush yards don’t include the 98-yard kick return by running back LD Brown. Sills recognized the skill of the backs, despite the numbers.
“With how elusive our running backs are, they make people miss all the time. You know our backs are good enough to find a hole and hit it,” Sills said. Despite their skill, the Golden Hurricane defense stifled the Cowboy ground game in the first half, but were able to turn things around late in the second half. Sills credited perseverance as the reason behind the eventual success. “We started off slow, but at the end of the day the thing that helped us is we just stuck with the gameplan, and just kept leaning,” Sills said. That leaning paid off, culminating in key runs in the fourth quarter,sealing the game for them.Jaylen Warren broke free for an 11-yard touchdown run, then Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders got nine yards, and a first down, on the final drive to allow them to run out the clock. “Once you lean on guys so much, something’s got to give, and thankfully we were able to break a few runs there at the end that sealed the deal,” Sills said. sports.ed@ocolly.com
Secret History of Food Daniel Neman St. Louis Post-Dispatch
In 1942, the USS Lexington, the second-largest aircraft carrier in the Navy at the time, was sunk by Japanese torpedoes and bombs during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Before abandoning ship, sailors grabbed all the ice cream they could. Some scooped it into their helmets before lowering themselves into the water. This weird food fact, and plenty more like it, can be found in “The Secret History of Food,” by Matt Siegel, which came out last week. I happen to like weird food facts, and so the book was right up my alley (despite its frequent rambling and its tendency to veer off into angry screeds about modern society). Keeping to the theme of ice cream during World War II, we learn that some U.S. bomber crews strapped buckets of ice cream mix to the outside of their planes. The vibration of the engines — and the machine-gun fire — churned the mix while the cold temperatures at high altitude froze it into ice cream. Ice cream helped the fighters’ morale, and so did comfort food. A mess sergeant who was in a prisonerof-war camp for 43 months whiled away his time in confinement by creating menus for a big, if nonexistent, Christmas dinner. Other prisoners started asking for specific dishes to be put on
the fictional menu. What struck a woman who later catalogued these menus is how few of the requested dishes were sophisticated foods the POWs may have had at elegant restaurants: scallops or oysters or Chateaubriand. Most of the food they wanted to think about was “home food of childhood which represented unconditional love, without cares or responsibilities.” You may know that pie crusts, as they were originally baked in England, were thick and hard and intentionally inedible; they were meant only to hold the filling as it cooked, and then be discarded. But pie became an American institution — people were known to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the 19th century — because early colonists faced a shortage of wheat in these lands. Less wheat meant the crusts had to be thinner, and by extension, flakier. That made them not only edible, but delicious. When the very first colonists came to these shores, they found an extraordinary availability of food. The woods were full of game, the fields were bursting with berries, the air was crowded with birds and the ocean, especially, was teeming with fish. And yet, three-quarters of the English colonists in Jamestown, Virginia, died during the winter of 16091610, a period known as the Starving Time. See Food on 2

As the book sarcastically puts it, “apparently, (that is) something he normally does with perfectly good milk.” ©2021 STLtoday.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

StadiumDrop: How does it work? Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Boone Pickens Stadium’s newest feature is not something most people
notice. It is a small QR code on every spot on the bleachers. This QR code brings you to the “StadiumDrop” app. In the age of ease of use, where someone can order anything to his or her house and it arrives the next day, food delivery services are increasing in use. StadiumDrop is a concession stand delivery service, which allows fans to order food from concession stands in Boone Pickens Stadium, and have it delivered right to their seat.
Concession stand lines can be long, especially at halftime. Long lines can cause fans to miss some of the game, so they can get a $6 hot dog. During Saturday’s OSU vs Tulsa football game, I used StadiumDrop to see what it was about. StadiumDrop’s ordering system is simple, select which items from a list of options around the stadium. Next, you sign up for an account and include the necessary payment information. For students, meal plans are not
accepted through the app. However, meal plans are payment options at the concession stands in- person. Finally, the user will enter his or her section, row and seat number. After a short setup, my food and drinks were delivered to my seat in around five minutes. Similarly to most delivery apps, there are delivery and processing fees. news.ed@ocolly.com

Offensive line up against Tulsa.
How the Big 12 stacked up after Week 2 Ashton Slaughter Staff Reporter
The Big 12 continued their success from the first week into this past weekend of the college football season. Although dipping down some from the 9-1 record the conference had prior to the past week, they still went 7-3 in their slate of games, a great spot to be at for the Big 12. Now, let’s see what teams took take of business, and what teams need to improve upon quickly before conference play begins shortly. 10: Texas – Lost 40-21 against Arkansas And just like that... Texas goes from the number one spot of the first week performance rankings, to last on the second week list. After a compelling win against Louisiana-Lafayette, the Longhorns get compellingly beat by Arkansas. The Razorbacks running game couldn’t be stopped, as they had 333 rushing yards, and four players with 50-plus rushing yards. The Longhorns couldn’t get any offense going in the first half, as they were down 16-0 at the half, before being outscored 24-21 in the second half. To sum it up in one sentence– Texas had a rude awakening to its future in the SEC. 9: Kansas – Lost 49-22 against Coastal Carolina The Kansas Jayhawks didn’t play horrible by any means, they were just out-matched by a more talented Coastal Carolina team. Once again, the Big 12 opponent had a big game running the ball, as the Chanticleers ran for a combined 215 yards. After being up 9-7 after the first, the Jayhawks were outscored 42-13 through the rest of the game. 8: Iowa State – Lost 27-17 against Iowa Iowa State seemed poised to have an incredible season this year. Coming off a Big 12 Championship game
appearance, where they lost a very tight game to Oklahoma, and having Heisman-hopeful quarterback Brock Purdy returning, they came into the season riding high. However, a repeat looks unlikely. After struggling against a less-thanstellar Northern Iowa team in the opening week, they lost to a talented Iowa team. The Hawkeyes rattled Purdy, as he had zero touchdowns and three interceptions, before the backup quarterback, Hunter Dekkers, came in and threw for a touchdown. The Hawkeyes didn’t even play an incredible offensive game, their defense just put them in great positions time after time again, forcing four ISU turnovers on the day. 7: Texas Tech – Won 28-22 against Stephen F. Austin Texas Tech on paper probably shouldn’t have won this game. For starters, Stephen F. Austin dominated the time of possession game, as they held the ball for 40:07, compared to the Red Raiders only having possession for 19:53. The Red Raiders also had four turnovers compared to the Lumberjacks zero. SFA even had double the amount of first down as the Red Raiders, 22 compared to 11. Even with all these factors... the Red Raiders still prevailed. 6: TCU – Won 34-32 against California With a combined total yardage of 947, both teams brought their A-game offensively. TCU had an even balance of passing and rushing yards, while the Golden Bears aired it out. Quarterback Chase Garbers threw for 309 yards along with two touchdowns, compared to Horned Frogs quarterback Max Duggan throwing for 234 yards and three touchdowns along with an interception. This at heart, was a Big 12 type of game... and the Big 12 team prevailed. 5: Oklahoma State – Won 28-23 against Tulsa Talk about an evenly matched game. Quarterback Spencer Sanders
IS GOD WORKING IN YOU? The Apostle tells us; “...for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” (Phil.2:13 NIV) This seems an important statement that God would actually work in you and me. How can it happen? In Philippians chapter 2, we are given direction from the apostle Paul about this very important matter. He tells us to look at Jesus while he was here on this earth and follow his example. “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.”(V5 NIV) What was his attitude? You see clearly the key in verse 8; : “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself.” Man, woman, youth; whoever we are and whatever our situation, we are to intentionally humble ourselves before God. Present ourselves to God so that we become a vessel for his work in and through us.
The Lord looks on humility in a very positive way. God says, “This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.” (Is.66:2 NIV) God greatly respects those who greatly respect him and his word. This person is ready to hear and move with God. “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Ps.25:9 NIV) If we stop and think about it; this person is the only one who will pay any attention to God’s will. Pride and self-centeredness are great hindrances to God working in us. The apostle says, offer your body as a living sacrifice. He does not say “get religious.” You are humbling yourself before God for his will to be done; an attitude of humility. This is what Jesus did. As you do the same, God will lead and work in you.
returned for the Cowboys, their offense seemed poised to have a big game, however, this was a defensive battle through the first three quarters. Tulsa led 14-7 after three, the Cowboys outscored the Golden Hurricanes 21-9 in the fourth, as their offense finally broke through and started to show flashes of what we’re used to seeing from them. Both teams averaged just over three yards a carry, which shows how pitiful their running game was, and how good their defense was (but more of the first). Both teams had a lot to prove after the opening weekend... and both teams haven’t performed as well as they would have hoped through the first two weeks. 4: Kansas State – Won 31-23 against Southern Illinois Although Kanas State won, they may have lost their starting quarterback, Skylar Thompson for a while. With his timeline for his return still unknown, the Wildcats are now in a situation for the second straight year where Thompson might not be available for a whole season. With this injury causing backup quarterback, Will Howard, to get some unexpected snaps, the Wildcats had to rely heavily on their running game , led by Deuce Vaughn, and defense. Their running game came through, as they ran for 208 yards Saturday. KSU’s defense gave up 23 points in the second quarter, but other than that, held the Salukis to zero points the rest of the game, which they are probably just fine with considering they still got the win. Although Thompson’s injury early in the game threw a wrench in the Wildcats game plan, they still came out with a win and improved to 2-0 on the season. 3: Baylor – Won 66-7 against Texas Southern The line on this game was Baylor –44.5, and the oddsmakers still underestimated the Bears. An incredible showing from the Bears, as they exploded for eight touchdowns. Texas
Southern had 281 total yards during the game, which seems like rookie numbers compared to the 714 yards the Bears had. No, that’s not a typo. When three players rush for over 100 yards, it’s incredibly difficult for the opposing team to come out on top... which the Tigers clearly didn’t. Not much more to say, just pure domination from the Bears. 2: West Virginia – Won 66-0 against Long Island University West Virginia only takes the number two spot over Baylor because although they scored the same number of points, they held their opponents to a shutout. Although the Mountaineers only (yes, only) had 542 total yards, they still finished with eight touchdowns on the day. Even with this incredible offensive showing, their defensive showing may be even more impressive. Long Island was held to 95 total yards. For context on how bad the Sharks offense played, their leading rusher had 23 yards and their leading receiver had 18 yards. A dominant game on both sides from the Mountaineers. 1: Oklahoma – Won 76-0 against Western California Oklahoma must have taken all the slander to heart after their narrow victory against Tulane on opening weekend. Even with the incredible offensive and defensive numbers from Big 12 teams from the past weekend... no team played as well as the Sooners. Quarterback Spencer Rattler responded after his subpar performance in the first game, with five passing touchdowns on the day. To explain how dominant the Sooners played, their third-string quarterback even got a couple of throws in against Western California. This was a game over bettors, and Sooner fans loved to see, as it seems OU is already in midseason form right before Big 12 play.

Deep dive: OSU’s defense dominates again
Abby Cage
Defensive line against Tulsa.
Sudeep Tumma Staff Reporter Deep dive goes beyond the stat sheet and takes a look at the film to evaluate how OSU won/lost the game. At some point on Saturday, Oklahoma State fans must have had flashbacks to the 16-7 gut wrenching victory over Tulsa last year. The offense started off slow once again, the game was a bit messy, but the Cowboys came out with a 28-23 win on Saturday. Here’s how it all went down.
OSU’s defense The OSU defense was the saving grace in several games last season, and it’s playing the same role in the first two games. Whether it’s with turnovers, stopping the opposing in critical moments or forcing third-down stops, this defense is sound. The defense gave up more ground than it typically does against Tulsa, especially when the Golden Hurricane went up-tempo. But the Cowboys forced punts on Tulsa’s first seven drives and allowed the offense to make plays. 50-50 balls OSU’s offense was eerily stale to begin the game. But when it was able to move the ball, it came down to oneon-one opportunities when quarterback Spencer Sanders threw up well-placed 50-50 balls, and gave his receivers an opportunity to make a play. With wide
receiver Tay Martin essentially missing the entire game, freshmen receiver’s Jaden Bray and Bryson Green showed off their ball skills and contested-catch ability. That was a key part of keeping the offense afloat. Brin Davis’ mobility There were several opportunities Saturday when OSU’s defense had quarterback Brin Davis where it wanted him. But instead of bringing him down for a sack or forcing an errant pass, Tulsa’s QB would escape the pocket, extend plays and find open receivers or scramble for yards on the ground. Tulsa’s defensive front Going into this game, the trio of defensive linemen Jaxon Player, Cullen Wick and Tyarise Stevenson were going to be a handful. They were exactly that Saturday, as they were disruptive
in the run and pass game. They were able to get penetration and put heat on Sanders and kept the run game at bay, which hindered OSU’s ability to excel on offense. The kickoff return touchdown The LD Brown kickoff touchdown return touchdown was a thing of beauty, but it was so crucial considering the context. After OSU sustained a strong drive and tied the game 14-14, the defense gave up a nine-play, 87yard drive that looked like it would end in a TD, but it stopped Tulsa at the OSU 2-yard line and held it to a FG. Then, Brown ripped off a monster return and put the Cowboys up 21-17 — a true momentum-swinging play.
