OHIO STATEMENT The Sooners defense celebrates a play in the game against Ohio State Sept. 9. The Sooners beat the Buckeyes, 31-16, in Ohio Stadium.

Sooners throttle Buckeyes in upset win, putting Oklahoma in the middle of the playoff conversation

KELLI STACY • @ASTACYKELLI

OLUMBUS, Ohio — On Aug. 26, ESPN’s Lee Corso called the S o o n e r s “p r e t e n d ers,” saying they were most likely to disappoint this season.

On Saturday night, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley and his team proved Corso wrong, beating No. 2 Ohio State (1-1) 31-16 in Columbus.

“Our guys have a chip on their shoulder — an edge about them — and we’re not going to apologize for that,” Riley said.

No. 5 Oklahoma (2-0) came into Columbus underdogs, but they left with national title aspriations. In Riley’s first top-5 matchup as head coach of the Sooners, he proved he can win in a hostile environment. With former head coach Bob Stoops watching, Riley did what Stoops couldn’t: defeat the Buckeyes.

“We proved that we’re focused and have a great mentality and play together,” Riley said. “We can beat a lot of people. We’re two games in, and a lot of people are going to want to anoint us now. We’ve still got a long way to go.”

Riley’s offense started the game hot, but couldn’t make it in the end zone. The upside was his defense kept the Buckeyes off the scoreboard, too. By the beginning of the third quarter, Oklahoma and Ohio State were tied at 3.

“We proved that we’re focused and have a great mentality and play together. We can beat a lot of people. We’re two games in, and a lot of people are going to want to anoint us now.

We’ve got a long way to go. ” LINOLN RILEY, HEAD COACH

Then the Buckeyes scored.

The electricity in Ohio Stadium seemed to stutter as OU fans realized the ensuing drive could lead to a shootout or the Sooners’ demise.

Three plays into the following drive, senior quarterback Baker Mayfield hit freshman tight end Grant Calcaterra on a 21-yard pass. Oklahoma fans took a collective sigh of relief. Two plays later the Sooners were in the endzone after a 36-yard touchdown pass from Mayfield to senior fullback Dimitri Flowers.

That drive would breathe fire into the OU offense, setting it on the path to recording 490 total yards — 386 of them passing.

It’s only the second time in school history the Sooners have beaten a top-2 AP team on the road in non-conference play.

The win was one few expected, and the Sooners are hoping it silenced their doubters.

“I don’t want to dwell on what the media was saying, but we heard a lot of things throughout the week and we took it (personally),” senior defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo said. “We definitely tried to shut some people up ... OU is a physical team and we can play with anybody on any given day. Look, don’t count us out. We are not underdogs.”

Wi t h i t s tou g h e st re gu la r season game out of the way, Oklahoma and Riley have their eyes set on something much bigger. As Okoronkwo said, “The sky’s the limit.”

“Our guys gutted it out. It was a great environment — tough place to win, obviously,” Riley said. “To come and get this done was a lot of fun, and hopefully we’ll still continue to find a lot of things to build on. I told them in there we’ll be disappointed if this is the highlight of our season. We’ve still got a long way to go. We’ve only played two games.”

T h e S o o n e r s p l ay Tu l a n e in Norman at 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturday.

When I first received jobs that required me to dress up a bit, my main concern surrounded dressing too maturely for my age.

Although I understood that my graphic T-shirt would not cut it in an office setting, I also did not want to dress in dull colors and boring styles, making me look like a child rummaging through her grandma’s clothes.

This summer, I found various pieces of clothing that would allow me to look youthful, fashionable and keep up with some of

my favorite trends when I would have to dress up.

Here are two outfits I was able to put together.

Jumpsuits add this slight form of sophistication to an outfit while keeping it youthful. This specific jumpsuit also came with a bib necklace, however, I was not a fan of that specific accessory and removed it myself. I do believe that adding a statement necklace to a jumpsuit is just enough for the look. As for shoes, I love to wear either a pair of flats or booties, like the pair in the previous outfit.

Jumpsuits similar to my own can be found at ASOS or Forever 21. My shoes can be found at Forever 21.

Sweet dreams are made of cheese: Chipotle adds queso to their menu

Chipotle customers in Norman will soon be able to say, “I know the queso is extra” when the restaurant rolls out the topping.

Both Norman branches of the chain, along with all stores nationwide, will begin serving the product Sept.

12. The prices will vary by location, ranging from $1.25 to add to a meal to $5.25 for a large side order with chips, according to a press release.

“Although queso was the No. 1 requested menu item, we never added it to our menu before now because we wouldn’t use the industrial additives used in most quesos,” Steve Ells, Chipotle founder, chairman and CEO, said in a press release.

The queso is sure to be a popular addition to the chain, as Chipotle’s test kitchen has been adjusting it after tests in New York, Colorado and southern California.

The nearest Chipotle locations are at 765 Asp Ave. and 1641 24th Ave. NW. Allison Weintraub, @AllieFrances12

CORRECTION In the Sept. 7 issue, quotes were wrongly attributed to two students in the story about OU students’ reaction to the DACA announcement. The quote “We’re going to fight for our rights. We’re not just worth a piece of paper — we’re more valuable than that and we have to show it,” was from Janely Franco. The quote, “Family is the most important thing to me. That’s a common trend that you’ll see with DACA students and undocumented citizens too, because such a big family sacrifice doesn’t go unnoticed,” was from Carlos Rubio.

Awareness affects funding Donations ‘nearing zero’ for on-campus student food pantry MITCHELL WILLETTS @MitchBWilletts

Since opening in March, the OU Food Pantry has provided free groceries more than 400 times to university students, faculty and staff in need.

Now after six months in operation, funding has nearly run dry.

The pantry, established to combat food insecurity on campus, relies on donations of cash and food to keep the shelves stocked. It serves the OU community only, but despite the narrow customer base, the pantry is struggling to keep up with demand, according to Matt Marks, food pantry director, who said there’s more hunger on campus than people know.

Nearly half of college students will encounter food insecurity, defined as a “lack of access to sufficient ... affordable, nutritious food,” at some point in their academic careers, according to a study conducted in part by the University Food Bank Alliance.

“When we’re starting to run low, I’m going to make a purchase,” Marks said. “I don’t ever want to see this place empty. We’ve got people to feed.”

A Thousands Strong campaign during spring 2017 raised nearly $5,000 in initial funding. It did a lot of good, but take a glance at the accounts today, and “we’re nearing zero,” Marks said.

The faculty and students behind the pantry have started reaching out to student groups and organizations, local churches and even apartment complexes, looking for help wherever they can get it.

“I don’t think the word’s really gotten out,” Marks said about the pantry.

Donations, particularly in cash, have trailed off, Marks said. It’s not that the community doesn’t care, he said, it’s just that it’s unaware.

“This pantry will be here

for many years, there’s no question about it,” Marks said, confident that when the word is out, help will follow.

“I know the money will come in.”

Windeon McDowell, special projects manager for Housing and Food Services, acts as a faculty liaison for the food pantr y. Where there’s red tape or uncertainty, McDowell helps the student committee find a way through.

“Definitely funding has been a question we’ve had to raise many different times, in many different ways,” McDowell said.

There’s no doubt money is important, he said, but empty pockets aren’t the end of the world.

“Realistically, it’s not necessarily in a bad position,” McDowell said. “As much as money seems like something that’s going to hinder us, we’ve had such an outpouring of support … it’s not our primary issue.”

He pointed out that almost no money was raised over the summer, but the pantry was able to stay stocked thanks to food donations from fraternities and sororities, as well as the Swipe to Share program.

“At the end of the day, what we’re providing is food — it’s not like we’re handing out that money,” he said.

“Sometimes it’s easier for people to provide cans as opposed to cash.”

Money makes it easy to provide a well-rounded diet for customers. People don’t often think to donate milk, or meat, or mac and cheese, Marks said.

“I’d like to have a steadier stock,” said Haley Begala, a food pantry volunteer.

“Yesterday we had 10 chicken cutlets and they were gone in five minutes.”

For now, there’s enough food to go around. Whether that’s sustainable is less certain. There will be slow weeks, slow months.

Needs fluctuate and so does attention, but hunger doesn’t go away when no one’s looking and the cash runs out.

“I love food donations, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not going to come in

every day,” Marks said.

Max Bowman is a senior history and physics double major who volunteers at the pantry in his free time stocking and bagging. In his first years at OU, Bowman struggled with food and finances.

There were nights, he said, where dinner was just a couple cans of corn.

Hunger made it difficult for Bowman to concentrate. Grades were tough to maintain, and in some cases couldn’t be kept up. An impressive GPA just wasn’t in the budget.

“I just want it to be as simple and easy a process to get them the food they need, get them through the week. Let them take that worry off their shoulders for a while.”

MATT MARKS, OU FOOD PANTRY DIRECTOR

Most students have the support of their families, financial and otherwise.

Bowman’s relationship with his is complicated, he said, and he found himself on his own.

“I worked to get out of my situation,” said Bowman,

who took on a part-time job to make ends meet. “But really I just chanced out of it.”

He’s not running on empty anymore, for which he credits his partner, as well as financial aid. He just got lucky, he said.

Bowman’s situation is no anomaly.

“This is a really big issue we need to be talking more about, because I don’t think we’re doing enough,” Marks said.

The cost of education is growing nationwide, and OU is no exception.

“With prices going up across the board, people are struggling to find food,” he said.

Food insecurity is one of the widest-reaching issues affecting campuses today, and while Marks is appreciative of the whole OU community for helping to get the pantry off the ground, he said he still feels the issue isn’t getting the attention it needs - not from the students, nor from the university itself.

After leaving his job at Chipotle as a prep cook, Brent Phillips got a job at Couch Cafeteria. The transition period was difficult — he rationed what little he had waiting for that first paycheck to come in.

Food stamps were helpful, but, like paychecks, they only come so often. The waiting

game would’ve meant lean times for Phillips, but as a university employee, the pantry was able to give him what he needed.

Often, he still comes in. All that’s needed is a university-issued ID. From the start, Marks wanted the pantry to be as accessible as possible. No hurdles, no paperwork, no proof of need.

“Here, it’s all a trust system, and it’s gone well that way,” he said. “I just want it to be as simple and easy a process to get them the food they need, get them through the week.

Let them take that worry off their shoulders for a while.”

The pantry won’t be going anywhere, Marks and McDowell say, but how much good it can do does depend on charity. Both believe the help will come, by check or by the can. A second Thousands Strong campaign is in the works for the fall semester, though an exact timeframe hasn’t been decided.

“I’d like to do better than the $5,000 that we got (last time). I want to increase that number more, even try 10,000,” Marks said. “Yeah, I like that number. I think we’ll try for $10,000 or so.”

UPDATE ON THE OU FOOD PANTRY: Since this story ran on The Daily’s site Sept. 8, OU students have stepped up to respond to the pantry’s struggles. Finance and economics junior Andrew Racki tweeted after reading the story that for each retweet, he would use $0.10 to buy supplies for the pantry, and for each like, he would donate $0.05 to shop for the pantry. As of Sept. 9, according to his Twitter @akracki, Rack had purchased $200 in food pantry supplies, with more than 740 retweets and 1,400 likes on his original tweet. Delta Delta Gamma will also take donations for the food pantry as part of its “Do Good” week, which will run Sept. 11 to Sept. 15, according to its Twitter.

Faculty make OU second home

Program at OU quells students’ homesickness HANNAH PIKE @h_pike_

Mark Morvant sold his house, gave up privacy and time and moved his wife and children to OU’s campus — all to be closer to students and more involved in student success.

In his role as a senior fellow at Dunham College, Morvant is one of a number of faculty members who lives in the same building as OU students. For those who choose to be in the faculty-in-residence program, where faculty members live in OU housing centers and host events for students, the program is about family.

Morvant said his attitude toward the move is similar to the attitude he encourages students to have when they are adjusting to life in a different country to study abroad. “One of the things we try to tell the students (when studying abroad) is, ‘Don’t think about what you don’t have. Think about what you do have,’� Morvant said. “And what we have really outweighs.�

Morvant said he misses tinkering in his garage to relieve stress, and his kids miss having their own playground. But his son can now ride his bike up and down the South Oval, and the residential colleges are “like living in a 5-star hotel,� he said.

He and his family have been interested in the program since he came to OU because it adds value to students’ academic careers and helps faculty members gain a better understanding of what’s happening around campus, Morvant said. “It kind of lets you see a much bigger picture of who the students are and kind of

understand not only their academic challenges, but also just other things that are going on in their lives,�

Morvant said.

Morvant hosts weekly teas and other events, and his family eats meals with students at the college.

Getting to see students all the time and watch as the community grows is refreshing, he said.

Cameron Siler, an assistant biology professor and assistant curator of herpetology at the Sam Noble Museum, lives in Walker Center with his wife and kids. The family moved to Oklahoma in 2013, and he and his wife were “incredibly excited� to hear about the program and applied for it once they found out about it, he said. “We get to actually feel like we’re a better part of the university community,�

Siler said.

Siler’s wife was a resident assistant for three years at the University of Texas, and serving as a leader and a mentor in that way was one of her best college experiences, he said. She is now a physician’s assistant, so though she does not get as much contact with the university, the family’s living situation helps her stay connected, Siler said.

Serving as a faculty-in-residence family has been a great way for them to feel better-connected to their community, as they both love teaching and serving as mentors, he said. The transition to college can be hard for many students, so being able to provide a more family-friendly atmosphere is a huge strength of the program, Siler said. “(Our daughter has) basically spent half of her life

right now around hundreds of ‌ college students and faculty, and they all ‌ have been so wonderful,â€? Siler said. “And we’ve seen her grow up and get more comfortable being outgoing and talking with people and developing relationships, and that’s been, as a parent, a really neat experience.â€?

Students have many mentors and people to go to when they need help, but living in the same building as these people is different, said Matt Marks, journalism senior. Marks lives in Headington Hall, where Julie and Glen Krutz are the faculty-in-residence.

Marks said the Krutz family does an excellent job of carrying on the legacy of former faculty-in-residence, Kelly Damphousse and his wife Beth. “The Krutzs are kind of like the parents — it’s like

A team of OU researchers traveled to the East Coast to the expected landfall locations of incoming Hurricane Irma.

The Shared Mobile and Atmospheric Research and Teaching radar team, led by OU meteorology professor Michael Biggerstaff, is comprised of researchers from several universities and agencies, according to a press release. The team will be hosted by the Weather Service ofďŹ ce on the west side of Miami, Biggerstaff said.

This collection of researchers will gather data centered around Irma’s extreme winds, according to the release. “The objective is to look at the extreme wind events that occur during landfall,� Biggerstaff said. “We will be looking at tornadic activity in the outer rainbands and the strong winds from the eyewall.�

Due to Irma’s powerful gusts, the team, which was also sent to gather data on Hurricane Harvey, will be deployed farther inland than when investigating Harvey, according to the release. The research group deployed to Corpus Christi, Texas, Aug. 25 to study Harvey’s tornadic circulations, the storm’s core and eyewall circulations that lead to ooding.

Mayfield plants flag on field after leading Sooners to victory GEORGE STOIA @GeorgeStoia

COLUMBU S, Ohio — After a 31-16 victory over No. 2 Ohio State, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield ran to the north end zone, grabbing a giant OU flag from a member of the spirit squad. Taking a victory lap around Ohio Stadium, Mayfield ended in the middle of the “O,” planting the flag in the center of the

field.

“It was a last-minute decision,” Mayfield said about the flag following the game.

Mayfield and the Sooners made a statement — a statement to the college football world.

“We’ve had that mood in the locker room that nobody believes in us,” Mayfield said. “We were able to catch nobody picking us on GameDay, you see it throughout social media during the week and about 80 percent of the country picked Ohio State to win.

So right now, we believe in ourselves, and quite frankly

that’s all that matters.”

Mayfield was spectacular in the win, going 27-of-35 for 386 yards and throwing three touchdowns. The former Heisman-finalist was like a maestro conducting an orchestra, leading Oklahoma up and down the field on the Buckeyes.

“Baker deserves a ton of credit,” coach Lincoln Riley said. “He played extremely, extremely well tonight, especially against a defense as good as theirs.”

The Sooners offense did struggle early, fumbling the ball twice in the first half, but Mayfield was unfazed,

telling his team at halftime, “great teams finish drives” and “championship teams take advantage of their opportunities.” When OU fell behind 10-3 early in the third quarter, Mayfield led his team on a five-play, 67yard drive that ended in a 36-yard touchdown pass to senior fullback Dimitri Flowers to tie the game at 10.

Mayfield was the ultimate leader Saturday night, making play after play for his team.

“I think our guys feed off Baker,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “He’s

Coach Lincoln Riley said Mayfield deserves a lot of credit, but he wasn’t doing it by himself. He pointed out Flowers as someone who contributed a lot and said Mayfield’s trust in his team was important.

“He’s not doing it with a bunch of Rudies,” Riley said.

It will be important for Mayfield to continue to develop a relationship of trust with his receivers, and so far Flowers has shown he can be a key target for Mayfield. Flowers was perfect on the night, hauling in every pass that came his way.

Flowers said he wanted to let the score speak for itself when it came to how Riley did or how his team did when the whole country picked against them.

“You want to doubt us,” Flowers said. “Go ahead.

How’d that work out for you?”

The Sooners will play Tulane on Sept. 16 back in Norman.

Injuries fail to break Sooners OU dominates Ohio State despite losing key players ABBY BITTERMAN @abby_bitterman

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No. 5 Oklahoma (2-0) suffered injuries to some of its key players early in its 31-16 win over No. 2 Ohio State (1-1), but the S ooners’ ability to make up for those losses helped propel them to victory.

A few key players for the Sooners went down in the first half, but Oklahoma was prepared to replace

them without losing a step.

Junior tight end Mark Andrews was injured and being attended to on the sidelines early in the second quarter. His left knee seemed to be the problem, and Andrews didn’t return to the game.

Senior free safety Will Johnson also left the game in the second quarter. It was unclear whether he had been injured or not, but he went to the locker room and did not play again.

These players were arguably the Sooners’ two biggest losses. Andrews, who led the Sooners in receiving yards against UTEP,

He was one of the players who went in later in the game after some other S ooners had gotten injured. However, he seemed unfazed.

“It reflects our phrase ‘we too deep,’” Morris said.

“We have a lot of depth at receiver, and a lot of us can make plays.”

The Sooners spread out the offense for the second week in a row, proving they have more than just one option. This ability proved helpful after A n d re w s’ i n ju r y , a s h e was seen as someone who

Baker Mayfield on Heisman radar JADYN WATSON-FISHER • @JWATSONFISHER

After starting his 2017 Heisman campaign with a bang against UTEP last week, Oklahoma senior quarterback Baker Mayfield strengthened his case for the Heisman Trophy in the Sooners’ 31-16 defeat of Ohio State.

Mayfield went 27-for-35, passing for 386 yards and three touchdowns. The majority of his success, however, came in the second half when he went 16-for-17, threw for 228 yards and recorded his three touchdowns.

It’s no secret Mayfield wants to win the national championship, but he is also making a good case for why he should be a contender for the Heisman again this year.

Here’s how he stacks up against other possible Heisman contenders: BAKER MAYFIELD

Oklahoma’s ability to spread the ball around shows the depth Morris mentioned. The Sooners may have young players in key positions, but their ability to come in and fill in the gaps left by injuries in a Top-5 matchup shows their talent.

Oklahoma will play Tulane at 5 p.m. Sept. 16 at home.
