Report card: Kansas State blows out OSU Davis Cordova Staff Reporter

lights out.

The past two seasons, Howard has been called upon to play the majority of the game versus OSU, now for his third time, he finally won; Big time. He was relaxed from the start, passing for 296 yards and four touchdowns, with all scores coming in the first half.

Pass Rush: D Going into the season, OSU’s defensive front was thought of to be amongst the best in the country. On Saturday, it was never a factor.

No sacks, four quarterback hurries and little pressure on Howard. After the first half, coach Gundy simply said “They’re blocking our ass.”

Manhattan: AYou couldn’t tell it was homecoming at Kansas State on Saturday, but it was still an amazing experience nonetheless. To start the game, there wasn’t an empty seat, and considering Kansas State scored a lot, the tradition-rich Wabash Cannonball after every score was electric. All in all, Bill Snyder Family Stadium and the “Little Apple” beat many expectations and felt like an adjacent to Stillwater.

Tom Hutton: B+ There was one thing that OSU can point to that was positive, punter Tom Hutton. Hutton was called upon a lot considering the offense was stuck in quicksand for a majority of the game. Hutton punted six times with an average of 46.5 yards per punt with two being downed within the 20.

In OSU’s blowout 48-0 loss to Kansas State, the offense was immobile, Manhattan blew out expectations and Will Howard put on a clinic.

Here is the report card from Saturday’s game.

OSU offense: F Putting zero points on the board for the first time since 2009 will get you a failing grade.

The offense couldn’t muster a drive and had just 15 plays in Kansas State territory. The run game was nonexistent for the Cowboys on Saturday with an average of 1.8 yards per rush which caused a onedimensional offense that led to little success. The leading rusher for OSU? Backup quarterback Gunnar Gundy.

The offense had two interceptions, one from quarterback Spencer Sanders and one from Gundy, and had wide receiver Brennan Presley cough up a fumble after a significant gain early in the game.

Don’t expect the offense to play this bad next week, but it’s obvious it has major issues.

Will Howard: A OSU coach Mike Gundy said last Monday that they were preparing for Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez to start. But, backup KSU quarterback Will Howard started and played sports.ed@ocolly.com

The newly-named Big 12 commissioner inked the conference into a six-year media rights agreement with ESPN and Fox that profits up to $2.28 billion. The new deal will begin at the start of the 202526 athletic year and go through the 2030-31 season.

Breaking down the numbers With Saturday’s loss at Kansas State, Oklahoma State was shut out for the for the first time since 2009.

OSU suffers biggest defeat in two decades large of a defeat.

One of the Cowthe last time OSU suffered this boys’ strengths, getting into

the backfield, was missing on Saturday.

3: drives in which OSU reached KSU territory after Presley’s first-quarter fumble After wide receiver Brennan Presley fumbled inside the Wildcat red zone with 2:46 in the first quarter, the Cowboys had trouble getting back. Actually, they never got back into the red zone.

OSU didn’t get back into Wildcat territory until the four-minute mark of the third quarter (over 28 game minutes later), but it stalled and turned the ball over on downs at the KSU 43. The Cowboys again reached the KSU 41 in the fourth quarter before another turnover on downs. The closest OSU got to the red zone again was after a Gunnar Gundy 22yard scramble that put OSU on the KSU 32 with two minutes left in the game.

2: completions on passes of over 15 yards A week after OSU had nearly 400 passing yards, the Cowboys struggled to throw the ball down the field. OSU attempted a dozen passes of over 15 yards but only connected on two of those. A couple of those were drops and a couple were under-throws by Sanders, who left the game favoring his shoulder.

The offense was already one-dimensional, unable to run the ball, so the inability to pose a deep threat stagnated the offense. The offensive line — which struggled to open running lanes, also — gave up three sacks, even though KSU often rushed only three linemen.

The pressure on Sanders and the extra players in coverage caused the passing game to struggle, amounting only

163 passing yards — its lowest output of the season.

38: rushing yards in the first three quarters OSU tried to establish the run, but it never materialized. It ran the ball 14 times for 37 yards in the first half.

In the third, already facing a monstrous deficit, OSU tried the run seven times and amassed a single yard.

OSU ended the first three quarters with an abysmal average of 1.8 yards per rush on 21 attempts. That ineptness allowed KSU to rush three defenders and drop eight into coverage, which helped KSU shut off passing lanes.

This has been a theme of OSU’s offense all year. If the Cowboys can’t run the ball, the passing games pays the price, too. sports.ed@ocolly.com

‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ returns to OSU Michael Clark Staff Reporter

of the film.

OSU’s Student Unions Activities Board has put on yearly performances of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Halloween, but took a two-year hiatus because of COVID-19 protocols.

This year marks the phenomenon’s grand return to college campus. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” opened to hundreds of students packed into the Student Union Theatre.

The host nicely asked any people seeing the film for the first time to sit on the stage with them.

As is tradition, the film had live actors on the stage of the Student Union Theatre to reenact and dance along to certain scenes. They even moved into the audience and interacted with them, with many people yelling flirtatious comments at these actors as the performed.

When Frank-N-Furter sang the song “I’m Going Home” the audience threw hundreds of playing cards onto the stage. And unsurprisingly, at the end of the performance, the performers and film received a standing ovation long past the rolling of the credits.

It’s impossible to deny that “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a staple of the Halloween season. For the past 50 years, it has rolled into selective theaters for a short time for audiences to mock, reenact, and ultimately celebrate it. Because of this, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” doesn’t just stand the test of time, it seems to be immortal, and will certainly carry on for many more years.

With some things, you just have to see it to believe it. Unsurprisingly, Oklahoma State University’s production of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is no different.

Walking into this film for the first time was like walking into an inside joke you know nothing about.

However, becoming a part of this 50-year tradition is the best way to watch this film for the first time.

To the uninitiated, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a cult classic film from 1975. It soon found its place among many people in the LGBTQ community at the time, and quickly became an icon in cinema for its progressive themes of self-expression and pride. Because of its stylish, bold, and its ahead of its time nature , fans began rewatching it multiple times in theaters dressed as the characters and reenacting scenes in front of the screen. This soon spiraled into fans lovingly mocking the dialogue and ad libbing quips to yell at the screen.

For example, whenever the protagonists Brad and Janet’s names are spoken, audience members screamed “A**HOLE” or “S***” in retaliation.

Whenever the narrator appears, the audience will yell about how he seems to have no neck. When the narrator described two characters as “being in separate rooms” an eager audience member cried back ‘YOUR NECK IS IN A SEPARATE ROOM!” To an outsider, it seems disrespectful. Yet, it’s all a love letter and testament to the quotable, quirky nature entertainment.ed@ocolly.com
