Tight ends

Everyone happy with how we used the tight ends this week? I know there was some heartburn over it last week.

That freshman Ford looks like a STEAL. I watched every snap of Hasz’s career at Bixby and wished we had gotten him, but being able to A/B him and Ford yesterday at this level, I’m not so sure we didn’t wind up with a guy with similar potential.

Oklahoma State, Big 12 surge in latest AP Poll following overtime win over Arkansas 11 hrs ago

Oklahoma State, Big 12 surge in latest AP Poll following overtime win over Arkansas​

  • 11 hrs ago

OSU Sports Writer

Despite winning an uneven double-overtime game against Arkansas on Saturday, Oklahoma State continued to move up the AP Poll, rising three spots to No. 13.

For the first time this season, the Cowboys are ahead of the Sooners who remained at No. 15 after a nailbiter with Houston.

Oklahoma State faces No. 12 Utah in two weeks with a trip to No. 14 Kansas State to follow.

The Cowboys do not play any other teams currently ranked.

The Big 12 is also represented by No. 20 Arizona and No. 21 Iowa State.

The conference continues to hold a significant edge over the ACC, which is represented in the poll by No. 10 Miami, No. 19 Louisville, No. 22 Clemson and No. 24 Boston College.

It is also worth noting that Notre Dame dropped 13 spots down to 18th after losing to Northern Illinois which entered the poll at No. 25.

Cursed again by broken blocking, OSU survives crisis against Arkansas

Bill Haisten: Cursed again by broken blocking, OSU survives crisis against Arkansas​

  • Sep 7, 2024 Updated 7 hrs ago

Tulsa World Sports Columnist & Writer

STILLWATER — Because an editor in downtown Tulsa is expecting this column sooner than later, there isn’t the immediate ability to do the type of deep research necessary to find the answer to a burning question.

Has there ever before been this type of statistical disadvantage in an Oklahoma State football victory?

As the Cowboy defense stuffed Arkansas on a fourth-and-1 snap during the second overtime period, 16th-ranked OSU prevailed 39-31. After the midway mark of the third period, the Cowboys outscored the SEC visitors 32-10.
In some ways, Arkansas-OSU was super compelling.

It was awesome to see the Razorbacks and so many of their people back in Stillwater for the first time since 1980. When the Razorbacks won 44 years ago in Little Rock, OSU’s John Doerner, Houston Nutt and Jim Traber all got snaps at quarterback.

On Saturday, there were dynamic achievements like a 73-yard touchdown return of an interception by OSU’s Kale Smith.

There also were Brennan Presley’s nine-catch and two-touchdown performance for the Cowboys, Arkansas running back Ja’Quinden Jackson’s three-touchdown first half, and former Bixby tight end Luke Hasz’s 43-yard TD reception for the Hogs.

Cowboy offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn’s brilliant play-call that resulted in a 63-yard Alan Bowman connection with wide-open fullback Jake Schultz.

There was the drama of the final minute of the final period, when Logan Ward booted a go-ahead field goal for OSU and Kyle Ramsey countered, as time expired, with the tying field goal for the Hogs.

If you were here to be entertained by high-level athletes, you had to be impressed by Arkansas’ Taylen Green – a smooth, 6-foot-6 quarterback who, with the guidance of new Arkansas offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, should become NFL viable. Green reminds me of a young Randall Cunningham.

In some regards, though, this was a really messy football game with stupid penalties and damaging turnovers.

Tucked into the northeast corner of Boone Pickens Stadium were a few thousand Razorback fans, many of whom were frozen in disbelief when the game ended.
They couldn’t fathom how Arkansas could find a way to lose after dominating so thoroughly on yardage.

Total yards: Last season, Arkansas averaged only 327 total yards per game. On Saturday, the Razorbacks finished with 648. OSU’s total offense amounted to only 385 yards.

Rushing yards: While the Razorbacks totaled 232 run yards and averaged nearly 5 yards per attempt, Oklahoma State netted only 59 yards and averaged 2.3 per attempt. Against SEC defensive personnel, Ollie Gordon rushed for a quiet 49 yards on 17 carries.

When Oklahoma State trailed 21-7 at halftime, the deficit felt like 42-7.

Remember how OSU struggled to block the South Dakota State defense last week? Coming out of that season-opening exercise, the Cowboy offensive line was considered a possibly flawed position group.

After what transpired here on Saturday, it’s OK to go ahead and consider this a crisis.

Because OSU has more collective experience up front than any other team in college football, the offensive line received way too much positive media coverage during the preseason. OSU’s run-blocking was poor against South Dakota State and dismal against Arkansas.

Unless there is serious improvement in OSU’s line play over the next few weeks – or schematic adjustments that compensate for a physical inabilities to win at the point of attack – these Cowboys won’t contend for the Big 12 title and certainly won’t be among the 12 teams on the College Football Playoff bracket.


A spirited Mike Gundy postgame news conference included this nugget: “We got our (tail) kicked in the running game. We’re not going to get away with this for much longer.”
“You come here (and) you’re going to see a good game. You’re going to get your money’s worth,” Gundy continued. “I think we won the game because we were in better condition. Our guys are in great condition. That’s why we won the game.”

It seemed at times that Arkansas played 11-man offense while OSU played eight-man defense. Before halftime, there were gaping voids within the second level of the Cowboy defense.
In Sam Pittman’s 50th game as the Razorback head coach, his team positioned itself to win – and then positioned itself to squander an opportunity to score an important victory.

Gundy’s Cowboy teams know how to win when circumstances are not ideal. Last year’s BYU game is a perfect example of that.

“In times when most people panic,” Gundy said, “we don’t panic.”

Cayden McFarland tweeted this stat, and I’ve got to borrow it because it’s so telling: in games decided by one score, Pittman’s teams falter while Gundy’s teams flourish. In 2020-24, Pittman is 6-15 in games decided by no more than eight points. Gundy is 18-8.

Next weekend, the well-conditioned Cowboys are in Tulsa for a meeting with the Golden Hurricane. Before that drive to the University of Tulsa campus, I’m thinking that the OSU offensive line’s problems will command most of Gundy’s attention.

Kendal Daniels's Game Sealer

Probably already discussed but when it was all on the line, Kendal ripped the Arkie RB (obviously with some subsequent help) with tremendous quickness, technique, and a killer attitude. He brought 234 pounds of "not today Piggies". Given that most of us have questioned his effort at times, it was great to see. It was "John Corker like". Game over!

House GOP releases scathing report on Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan


What a surprise. 2 Cents was pushing his propaganda Biden's hands were tied and he had to follow the Doha agreement. Another example of straight bullshit.

The report also disputed Biden's assertion that his hands were tied to the Doha agreement former President Trump had made with the Taliban establishing a deadline for U.S. withdrawal for the summer of 2021, and it revealed how state officials had no plan for getting Americans and allies out while there were still troops there to protect them.
The report found that Biden and Vice President Harris were advised by top leaders that the Taliban were already in violation of the conditions of the Doha agreement and, therefore, the U.S. was not obligated to leave.
