J.W. Walsh’s fourth-down touchdown run in overtime gives Oklahoma State its sixth 6-0 start in team history.
SEAN MATHEWS FOR THE O’COLLY
J.W. Walsh’s overtime touchdown improves Cowboys to 6-0
Chandler Vessels S po rt s R e p o rt e r @ChandlerVessels
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – He had been here before. J.W. Walsh stood here again. It was overtime. The Oklahoma State Cowboys were tied 26-26 with the West Virginia Mountaineers Saturday in Milan Puskar Stadium. On fourth down, 2 yards separated the Cowboys from a touchdown, with only 1 yard needed for a first down. Walsh took the ball and sliced through the defense for a touchdown to put OSU up 33-26. It was a gutsy call to go for it on fourth down. The Cowboys risked losing the game if they didn’t make it. But coach Mike Gundy wasn’t going to settle for a field goal. Especially after the day that Mason Rudolph had, throwing three interceptions while not throwing a touchdown pass for the first time in his career. Gundy sent out Walsh with confidence he would make the play. “We have a lot of faith in J.W.,” Gundy said. “Even if there’s a player in the hole that’s unblocked, he’s pretty nifty at sliding and making that guy miss. I just didn’t feel like 1 yard was worth kicking a field goal on the road. They had all the momentum. I just felt like we needed to give ourselves a chance to win.” It was up to the defense to make a stop. After seven plays, it was fourthand-11. The Mountaineers had their last chance.

heaved up a ball that took with it the prayers of 60,000 fans. But Tre Flowers was there to swat the pass down, securing the 33-26 win for the Cowboys, improving their record to 6-0. In 2013, the last time Walsh was in West Virginia, the ending wasn’t so happy. The Cowboys lost 30-21. He came into Saturday’s game with a goal of a revenge and didn’t disappoint when he was called to deliver. “To come in and redeem ourselves from the last time that we were here, it’s a good feeling,” Walsh said. “Especially for our senior class and everybody else that was here. It’s a big win for us.” The touchdown was Walsh’s second of the game. He had a passing touchdown earlier in the game. The two scores were his seventh and eighth of the season, and he
has had at least one touchdown in all of OSU’s games. Although Walsh ended the game, it was Emmanuel Ogbah who got things going. Early in the first quarter, WVU was backed into its own end zone. Howard took the snap and fumbled. Ogbah was there and the two dove for the ball. Ogbah wrestled it away, coming up with the first touchdown of the game. “It felt great,” Ogbah said. “I didn’t actually know I scored. I just hopped on the ball and all of a sudden the referee signals touchdown. I was shocked just like everybody else.” With 21 seconds left in the first quarter, Ogbah forced another fumble. This time, OSU took over at the WVU 28-yard line. It only took five plays for Rennie Childs to punch in the score from the OCOLLY.COM
1-yard line, giving OSU a 14-0 lead. At halftime, the OSU defense was looking dominant as the Cowboys led 17-2 and had already forced three turnovers. But the Mountaineers (3-2, 0-2) came out ready to claw their way back. Although defense was the trend in the first, it was offense that was on display in the second. WVU outscored OSU (6-0, 3-0) 24-9 in the half. After Ben Grogan stepped up to hit a field goal that put OSU up 2619, it was WVU’s turn to answer. The Mountaineers leaned on their running game as Wendell Smallwood used his speed to get in between tackles and take his team 68 yards downfield, where Howard ran it in from the 3-yard line to tie the game. With just 2:30 to play, the
Cowboys had a chance to win in the final minutes for a third straight week. But Rudolph was overcome with the pressure of playing in front of a raucous crowd. The Cowboys failed to get a drive going and had to punt with 58 seconds left. But the defense held, forcing overtime, where the Cowboys would eventually prevail. With the win, OSU is 6-0 on the season, and improved to 51-5 since 2005 when they won the turnover battle. The Cowboys will have a week off before they face the winless Kansas Jayhawks on Oct. 24. “Really proud of our team coming on the road and being resilient in overtime,” Gundy said. “…We’re excited about being 6-0, but we need a week off.” SPorts@ocolly.com

Simmons motivates Cowboys despite injury as Whitener steps up in victory
D e k o ta Gregory S po rt s R e p o rt e r @ d e k o ta g r e g o r y
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer rarely changes the way he does things. But he did Saturday for linebacker Ryan Simmons. “I broke my rule never to text on game day,” Spencer said. “I texted him this afternoon. I said, ‘Hey buddy, we miss you and don’t ever forget you’re still a large part of what we are.’ He just hit me back and said, ‘Thanks coach. You don’t know what that means to me.’” Simmons announced on his Instagram account Tuesday that his career as a Cowboy was over after needing surgery for a torn MCL and PCL. The injury not only concludes Simmons’ fiveyear career at OSU, but also ended his streak of 31 straight starts. Before exiting on the first drive against Kansas State on Oct. 3, Simmons tallied 14 tackles and was the vocal leader of the No. 1 defense in the Big 12. This week, that presence was missing for OSU in Morgantown. “Totally different,” Spencer said. “It was strange for me. It’s been three-and-a-half years, and he’s the guy. You could just feel it. You could feel it in the locker room. You could feel it last MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2015

night in all our meetings. He’s always the guy that vocalizes.” Simmons watched from Stillwater as OSU slipped by West Virginia 33-26 in overtime. He was 963 miles away, but Simmons still managed to motivate the Cowboy defense as it forced four turnovers. “The emphasis this week was ‘Ride for 52,’” linebacker Devante Averette said. “We knew that he put his heart and soul into OSU, and we owe it to him as players, as family. He’s a great person on and off the field.” Simmons left a big vacancy in OSU’s defense, and Chad Whitener had the duty of trying
to fill the void. Whitener stepped in last week and led the team with nine tackles against K-State. It was the most playing time he had received since transferring from California two years ago. Saturday marked Whitener’s first start as a Cowboy since making the move. Whitener proved he wasn’t a downgrade at linebacker. Just two plays into the Mountaineers’ first drive, Whitener pulled in his first tackle of the night. He ended the night with 11, tied with safety Tre Flowers for the team-high. His efforts also went further than tallying tackles. Defensive end Emmanuel OCOLLY.COM
Ogbah forced a fumble in the first quarter and Whitener was there to jump on it. Whitener then forced a fumble of his own during the next quarter, which safety Jordan Sterns recovered. Whitener refused to let the WVU homecoming crowd get in his head during his first go with the No. 1s, but not without a little advice from Simmons. “Going into an environment like this, I asked him because he was here in 2013,” Whitener said. “He said, ‘It’s gonna be wild. It’s gonna be crazy. You just gotta ignore it and just play your game.’ He’s a real good mentor, being a fifth-year guy, and he’s smart as hell.
“We do this for Ryan Simmons. It’s originally his defense, and I’m just trying to step in and do my best.” sports@ocolly.com

Heavy rains reveal flooding issues at Prime Place apartment complex
Stetson P ay n e Staf f R e p o rt e r @ s t e t s o n _ _ pay n e
Some tenants in Prime Place’s newest apartment complex have had to tread water this fall. Residents at Prime Place, 213 W. Elm St., have dealt with the normal growing pains of a new complex, but flooding has affected residents of the building’s lowest level. During a heavy thunderstorm just after move-in day in August, residents in the basement woke up about 4 a.m. to rain water coming into their rooms from under the walls. Alec McDaniel, an architectural engineering senior, said heavy rain at one point flooded his roommate’s en-

tire bedroom in their apartment. He said they frantically attempted to stem the flow and move valuables away from the rising water.

“We were putting boxes up on stuff because he’d just moved in the night prior,” McDaniel said. “We were trying to save all of his stuff,
but the entire room was covered in water.” McDaniel’s apartment is next to the parking garage door and part of a new edition of apart-
ments that opened this August. The Elm Street complex opened its first edition in August 2014, with construction of another story continues on page 5

complex directly across the street underway. Water came in from under the exterior wall, which sits below ground level, and from the bathroom wall against the stairwell. It then poured into the stairwell from the parking garage during the storm and found its way into McDaniel’s apartment. Prime Place property management arrived that night to help with the clean up, but by the time management arrived, McDaniel and his roommates had used up every towel they had in a vain attempt to keep water from spreading farther.
Before anyone moved in at Prime Place, the complex’s lowest level faced flooding issues during heavy rains in May. Originally, about five rooms had water in them during the spring’s record-breaking rain storms, said Trevor Gibbons, Prime Place’s lead property manager in Stillwater. This isn’t the first time Prime Place apartments have dealt with water leaks in the basement. Gibbons said the first edition of the Elm Street location and the Hester Street complex had similar issues after opening. “Every new building will have issues with leaks; it’s just natural,” Gibbons
said. Gibbons said the first fix was installing an additional drainage system next to the structure. The extra drains divert water away from the basement in the event of heavy rainfall. A few nights after the first flood this semester, another downpour brought water into McDaniel’s apartment again. McDaniel said water came into the rooms on at least three or four occasions. “Over and over again, they thought it was fixed, and then it wasn’t fixed the next time it rained,” McDaniel said. “So each time that it rained it would happen again. Not as severe, but water would still come

into the room.” When drains weren’t enough to prevent the flooding, Prime Place had crews excavate dirt next to the outside walls and inspect for leaks. These holes are still exposed with a visible water line from where heavy rains collected against the wall. A heavy coat of a black tarlike sealant has also been reapplied to the wall as well. Gibbons said after several methods to try to fix the problem, digging up the ground and retreating outside walls became the ultimate option. “We’ve done multiple different treatment types, and now, we’ve done the

Everything from construction errors to earthquakes can affect rooms being water tight. Gibbons said he had crews leave the holes open, so that in the event of further leaks, they can be widened to apply more sealant. story continues on page 8
