OSU defense takes over as Cowboys defeat West Virginia 27-13

Chris Becker

Oklahoma State improved after a tough Week 1 performance with a win over West Virginia. OSU’s defense picked up right where it left, allowing only 13 points to the Mountaineers. The defense created constant pressure on West Virginia quarterback Jaret Doege and took pressure off of the inexperienced true freshman quarterback Shane Illingworth. “We want to be an aggressive football team, but sometimes the situation doesn’t allow for it, or call for it,” offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn said. “We’ve got a puppy at quarterback and we’ve got a really, really stout defense right now. It’s one of those games, you grind it out. It feels like you’re playing old school SEC football.” Issues have poked

OSU faced a competitive, defensive-heavy matchup against West Virginia this past Saturday.

out on the other side of the ball. After having zero fumbles in the 2019 season, Hubbard put the ball on the ground twice against the Mountaineers and once against Tulsa. However, despite seeing limited carries, LD Brown has stepped up in a big way to show that he can carry a bigger workload. “I’m just thrilled with him and his ability to protect, his ability to rush the football,”

coach Mike Gundy said. “He started to cramp up a little bit today. It’s almost like he just said, ‘Hey, I’m a senior, I’m gonna roll with it this year. I’m gonna play lights out.’ His attitude with a smile on his face and his willingness to compete has been awesome.” Brown’s explosive game shows signs of the future after Illingworth didn’t throw the ball much in his first start of his young career. With

Spencer Sanders expected to come back against Kansas, the Cowboys may have to wait to see Illingworth on the field again. Despite only seeing limited time and pass plays, the future is bright for the young quarterback Illingworth. Cowboy fans may have just got to watch the quarterback of the future early in his career. Gundy said Sanders was at 80% before the West Virginia game, so

he should be ready to go for the Cowboys first road game at Kansas. The Cowboy defense has really stepped up and played a bigger role through two games. The Cowboys have leaned on their defense with a true freshman at QB. If Illingworth does have to see more time the Cowboys defense will likely be relied on to take the weight off of the young quarterbacks’ shoulders. Allowing only 20 points in two games and only two touchdowns on the year, the defense has given the Cowboys offense more time with the ball and less weight to score. Despite a slow offensive start to the season, OSU has proved that it can withstand not being as explosive on offense with this stout defense and a young quarterback. The Cowboys now have to regroup and turn their attention to the first road game of the season. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Rally of Reflection: OkState Stand United rally reflects on progress made

Jenny Maupin OkState Stand United organizers held a rally Friday, highlighting the importance of perseverance and urging students to stay involved. The rally came almost a month after OSU President, Burns Hargis, committed to develop a new Diversity and Inclusion plan that will address the group’s List of Urgencies. Sean Tolbert, a coorganizer of OKSSU, said the event drew a smaller crowd than usual but the students involved are persevering. “It is so hard to be young people that are consciously aware today,” Tolbert said. “You guys are persevering and I just want to say thank you so much. This is exactly what we need to con-

tinue all the work that we are doing.” Tolbert then introduced the administrators that will oversee the development of the new Diversity and Inclusion plan, Jeanette Mendez, Vice Provost of Academic Affairs, and Leon McClinton Jr., Director of Housing and Residential Life. “These are the people who are going to do the important work that we need to see all the change that all of you have been fighting for,” Tolbert said. Co-organizer Payton Dougherty urged students to vote, directing them to the voter registration table on Library Lawn. “Make sure you have a plan to vote,” Dougherty said. “If you can vote in person, do it. If you feel safe enough do it and do it early.” OSU running back Chuba Hubbard also

Pumpkins, mums and fall, oh my! By Amelia Jáuregui Starting autumn right, OSU’s own Botanical Garden is now selling mums and pumpkins. This event started on September 21, the day before officially entering Autumn, and doesn’t end until October 11. That is if they don’t run out of pumpkins and mums before then. In a normal year, this sale would be happening during GardenFest, which is an annual event the botanic garden hosts. However, due to COVID-19, the gardens have decided to spread the sale over a three week period instead, and cancel GardenFest in its entirety. Although GardenFest may be a no go this year, that doesn’t mean to stop supporting the gardens and stop celebrating the new season we have entered. To many, pumpkins are a huge part of this season’s tradi-

tions, whether they are used for decorating, baking or carving scary faces into. So honestly, what cooler way is there to purchase a pumpkin than to get one from your very own college campus. After going and purchasing a few mini pumpkins on my own, I had the pleasure of talking to both Lynda Carrier and Laura Pang, who are two individuals who work right at the Gardens. “The mums were all raised right here at the gardens and the pumpkins we actually had brought in from Texas,” said Carrier. “They are nice quality pumpkins, fresh from the field.” Ranging from mini pumpkins that are only a dollar each, to medium sized pumpkins at $5, to full sized at $10, and then stillwater grown mums at $15, you are truly getting quite the bang for your buck. “We are just

trying to make an enjoyable experience for people to come out and pick whatever they like,” said Carrier. “We’ve had a lot of kids come through and we’ve even got a little photo backdrop for pictures.” Not to mention, these pumpkins and

mums don’t just make your own life a little more colorful, but it helps financially support the Botanic Garden here on campus. “This is actually our biggest fundraiser we do for the botanic garden all year,” said Pang. “All the proceeds from this go to fund our activities out

here. Most generally, if not all of them, are free to the public, and the rest of the proceeds go to support our student workers.” The Botanic Garden is located at 3300 W. 6th Avenue, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY! This life is an opportunity! It is also filled with opportunities. Let’s just look today at the one big opportunity. The one true God, who has set in motion this world and all that it is, giving us the opportunity to find and know him. He sets the boundaries of our existence so we can seek and find him. (Acts 17:26-27) He also sends out the good news in various ways; usually through those who have already found him, that he has made a way for all to come and live with him forever. There are many activities and opportunities around us that seem so interesting and worthwhile, but if we are wise we won’t let these things turn us away from what God is offering. The temporary can cloud our vision of the eternal. This opportunity from God includes such a relationship with God that he will help us, work in us, so that our lives will be a

great help to others. He will work in and through us in such a way that God’s purpose, that was determined before time began, will be accomplished. (Eph.2:10) This opportunity prepares us for an eternity of living and relating to the one and only God. He is going to show us the riches of his favor throughout the ages to come. (Eph.2:7) Eternity with God will not be dull and boring. There will be great joy in his presence, and eternal pleasures awaiting us. (Ps.16:11) There is nothing in this life that can be compared to the wonders God has in store for us. (Ro.8:18) What an opportunity! God’s message to us is good news and we are to respond and embrace it. Don’t miss it. Now is the accepted time. This opportunity is presented to us through Jesus Christ. Open your heart to him and trust him with your life. You will not be disappointed.

Olyvia Dowell dashes in last-minute goal to avoid draw Sam Hutchens When Olyvia Dowell spun to fire a shot with under a minute remaining in the Oklahoma State Cowgirls game against the West Virginia Mountaineers, she turned more than the ball around. She turned the match around. Dowell, a sophomore midfielder for the Cowgirls, buried the ball in the back of the net. That shot ended the game, giving No. 6 OSU a 2-1 victory over No. 4 West Virginia on Friday. The match in Stillwater looked destined for a tie, as the two high-profile teams were knotted up 1-1 in double overtime with seconds remaining. “Liv is a great player,” senior defender Hannah Webb said. “Very technical, very composed. She’s got a fantastic shot and a fantastic dribble. When the ball came to her, I wasn’t worried at all. She spun and ended up finishing and winning the game for us.” That shot moved OSU to 3-0 on the year, and since there are no nonconference matches in 2020, the Cowgirls are also 3-0 in the Big 12. Though OSU triumphed in the end, the ride to victory

was a roller coaster. Both teams played hard throughout the lengthy match — overcoming injuries and fatigue. “Both teams deserve immense credit for putting so much into that game,” coach Colin Carmichael said. Senior forward Gabriella Coleman scored the first goal of the match for OSU in the 50th minute. After a skillful interception by Webb that was played up the left sideline, Coleman capitalized. She ran down the pass and finished with her left foot — just beating junior WVU goalkeeper Maddie Murphy. For a Cowgirl team that was caught offsides five times, that difficult goal was an important breakthrough. “Credit to G she had a great first touch and a great finish,” Webb said. “She is very clinical in those situations.” After OSU took the lead, the match again settled into a defensive showdown. One player who performed well defensively for OSU was Ally Jackson. The junior defender consistently broke up Mountaineer scoring opportunities and even showcased an offensive element to her game by making long runs with the ball into WVU’s side of the pitch. “Ally is maybe our most improved player,” Carmichael said. “Ally Jackson’s development from

freshman year to now has been fantastic. She is a real leader for us now and a rock back there. Her composure to carry out of the back is terrific.” Though the OSU defense played well, it was not able to completely stifle the Mountaineers — who outshot the Cowgirls 13-11. In the 75th minute, senior WVU midfielder Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel tied the game. The Spaniard rocketed a free-kick at the goal and got a fortunate carom. The ball hit both senior OSU goalkeeper Emily Plotz’s hands and the crossbar simultaneously on a rebound and fell into the goal. “I thought she hit it over but it kind of dipped at the end and hit the crossbar and spun all weird,” Dowell said about the shot.

“It was a very quick, very confusing couple of seconds there and I’ll give the credit to number 21 (Ferrer-vanGinkel),” Webb said. “That was a great free-kick.” The unusual goal tied the game and set the stage for an incredible finish. Though the 650-person crowd on hand for the Big 12 showdown was lively, there was a point in the match where Neal Patterson Stadium became solemn. In the 87th minute freshman forward Peyton Vincze, who had subbed in two minutes prior, was injured. The Cowgirl was screaming in pain and had to be helped off the pitch and into the locker room. Though nothing is for certain until she can be evaluated, Carmichael said “The way she went down just didn’t bode well.” That moment meant that regulation ended with

a sour tone. As the two ten-minute overtime periods started, OSU was hoping to avoid a draw. “I’m super competitive when it comes to ties,” Coleman said. “I hate ties. I can’t stand ties.” With just 28 seconds remaining, Dowell ended all fears of a tie for OSU. Though it took all of an entire match and two overtime periods to separate the conference foes, Dowell’s clutch goal gave OSU a victory over West Virginia in one of the most dramatic ways possible — a walk-off goal. The superb goal capped off a match that will not be soon forgotten by the Cowgirls. “It was an unbelievable game,” Carmichael said.” news.ed@ocolly.com
