OSU’s offensive line earned a B+ grade from The O’Colly.
Before OSU defeated Texas Tech 41-31, the score hours before looked different. As the clock wound down to end the first half, OSU found itself trailing 24-20. A gutsy first-half performance from the Texas Tech defense and redshirt freshman quarterback Behren Morton put the Red Raiders in great position for an upset. OSU stalled out in the red zone to start the second half and settled for a field goal to cut the lead to one. The Red Raiders responded on the ensuing possession with
31-23 lead. They didn’t score again. After trading punts on the next two drives, OSU quickly managed to get deep into Texas Tech territory. With 3:17 left in the third quarter, OSU quarterback Spencer Sanders crashed into the end zone to pull the Cowboys within two. Sanders handed it off to a speedy Jaden Bray to tie it up with a two-point conversion. With the score evened, it was up to the OSU defense to make another stop. Mason Cobb would do just that. An interception from the Cowboy linebacker set
position. Unable to find the end zone, OSU was forced to settle for Tanner Brown’s fourth field goal of the game. OSU ended the third quarter with a 34-31 lead, its first since early in the second quarter. To begin the fourth quarter, the teams again traded punts. This led to a Texas Tech drive that crossed midfield, helped with Cowboy safety Kendal Daniels getting called for targeting. The OSU defense held on a fourth down to give the offense the ball back with under 10 minutes left. See Cowboys on page 3

Texas Tech was a game of ebbs and flows — things for the OSU players and coaches to praise, while having a handful of things to be corrected. Here’s a report card of OSU’s 41-31 win over the Red Raiders to keep the Cowboys perfect on the
season. Spencer Sanders: C+ The senior quarterback is undoubtedly piecing together his most impressive season thus far in five years as OSU. Heading in, Sanders already tossed for over 1,000 yards for 11 touchdowns and
rushed for four. He has looked sharp through all four contests, completing over 65% of his passes prior to Saturday’s game. While a lot of it was him being under duress as a result of the quality Red Raider See Offense on page 2

Most of the members are music industry majors and they all share a passion for music. “We didn’t want to be confined to one style of music,” Timbrook said. “Even though some of us aren’t music industry majors, who doesn’t want to be in a band?” One member in particular, Wannebo, said she’s been dreaming of this opportunity for a long time. “For me, my entire childhood I wanted to be a rockstar,” she said. “As I got older I realized that wasn’t going to happen, but there’s nothing wrong with having fun. It’s easier when you’re surrounded by people who can play instruments.”
