Cowboy football prepares for homecoming showdown with Texas h allie hart Sports Editor @ha lliehart

Enoch Smith Jr. bumped his fists together, illustrating the upcoming clash between the Oklahoma State and Texas football teams. “I feel like them coming from this side, us coming from this side, it’s gonna be a battle,” Smith Jr. said. Smith Jr., a redshirt senior defensive tackle, is aware of the significance football fans and media are placing on this matchup. The Cowboys will collide with the Longhorns at 7 p.m. Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium. OSU alumni are expected to flock to the stadium after participating in festivities for “America’s Greatest Homecoming.” The game takes the primetime slot on ABC. After a bye week, the Cowboys are fighting to redeem themselves from two straight Big 12 losses to teams without winning records. It’s a big weekend for OSU (4-3 overall, 1-3 Big 12). But Smith Jr., who has stepped into a starting role because of defensive tackle Darrion Daniels’ season-ending injury,

said he doesn’t want to focus on the added pressures and external factors surrounding this weekend. “Just think of it as another game,” Smith Jr. said. “There’s a lot of attention buildup with it, but you’re gonna make the most of it.” As Smith Jr. and his defensive teammates prepare for the Longhorns (6-1, 4-0), they aren’t sure which signal caller they will meet. Sam Ehlinger, Texas’ sophomore starting quarterback, suffered a strain to his throwing shoulder in a home victory against Baylor on Oct. 13. Shane Buechele, Ehlinger’s junior backup, entered the game midway through the Longhorns’ first drive. Texas shared the Cowboys’ bye week, so Ehlinger has had time to recuperate. OSU coach Mike Gundy said he expects Ehlinger to return for the matchup in Stillwater. The Cowboy defense isn’t taking chances. “Both of them are playmakers,” Smith Jr. said. “We’re game planning for both of them.” Despite opening the season with a loss to Maryland, the Longhorns have gone undefeated since then and ascended

to No. 6 in the AP Poll. Texas’ fourth-down conversion percentage of 75 leads the Big 12. The Cowboys are tied with Oklahoma at second place, converting on 66.7 percent of their fourth downs. As Smith Jr. has watched film this week, he hasn’t keyed in on only Texas’ efficient offense. He has observed the defenses of the Longhorns’ opponents, including Baylor and TCU, teams that had good showings against Texas despite their losses, he said. “Just building off what they have done and seeing certain things that they didn’t do will allow us to come out there and do what we need to do,” Smith Jr. said. This year, as homecoming draws OSU graduates back to campus, it also brings a piece of home to Cowboy football players from the Lone Star State. Jarrell Owens, a redshirt senior defensive end, is from Palestine, Texas. Although his hometown is closer to Waco than Austin, he said he grew up supporting his upcoming rival. “A lot of my family are UT fans, and they’re coming down,” Owens said. “So it’ll be a good chance for them to come and watch me play against Texas.”

Owens and the Cowboys are looking forward to sporting a new look for homecoming. They will wear throwbackstyle uniforms to honor former OSU running back Barry Sanders and his offensive linemen, who are the Sea of Orange Homecoming Parade grand marshals. The attire is modeled after the Cowboys’ threads from 1988, when Sanders won the Heisman Trophy and Gundy played as quarterback. “They’re really sweet,” Owens said. “I can’t wait to put them on.” Owens said nice uniforms

are his favorite part of homecoming at OSU, but eyecatching jerseys and campus traditions aren’t distracting the Cowboys from the hurdle they face. Tylan Wallace, a sophomore wide receiver from Fort Worth, is staying levelheaded, echoing Smith Jr.’s perspective. “I feel like it’s just another game,” Wallace said. “Homecoming, it’s a big deal, but I just feel like I try to treat it as any other game.” No matter what weekend the matchup takes place, the Longhorns are often a challenging

opponent for the Cowboys. After falling to Texas 28-7 in 2014, OSU has claimed the past three games for their longest winning streak against the Longhorns in program history, but they haven’t all been easy victories. In 2017, the Cowboys squeaked past Texas 13-10 with a Matt Ammendola field goal in overtime. “I feel like it could be a little something like that (again),” Wallace said. “I feel like it will be a pretty good game, pretty close game, but if we come out and handle our business like we’re supposed to, I feel like we’ll be pretty good.” Gundy predicted because of the Longhorns’ fresh energy on offense, the Cowboys will have to prepare for more scoring this time. “I would say that they’re (Texas) better on offense than they’ve been,” Gundy said. “They may have, for whatever reason, identified who they are and what they want to do, and they’re in a little bit more of an attack mode.”

The majority of individuals who set foot on the Oklahoma State campus have never seen the program’s lone Heisman Trophy in person. Locked down and tucked away within the lobby of the Cowboy football coaches’ offices in the West End Zone of Boone Pickens Stadium, only a select few have access to the room holding the prestigious trophy awarded to former Cowboy running back Barry Sanders 30 years ago.

on the 2018 Cowboy football team were alive for Sanders’ legendary 1988 season, in which he showcased arguably the greatest individual season in college football history. “Won’t be another like it,” said OSU coach Mike Gundy, who was the Cowboys’ quarterback in 1988. He handed the ball to Sanders for the individual rushes that compiled for 2,628 yards and 37 touchdowns. The NCAA didn’t begin including bowl game statistics in season totals until 2002, but with 222 yards and five touchdowns in a Holiday Bowl victory, Sanders finished the year

with 2,850 yards and 44 touchdowns. Sanders set 34 NCAA records along the course of the 1988 season, which is a record in itself that, like the other 34, could stand the test of time. Only 40 of the 130 schools with a Division I football team have had a student-athlete who won a Heisman Trophy, given annually to the most outstanding college football player each season since the honor was first awarded in 1935. The exclusivity is what makes the trophy such an effective recruiting weapon. “Usually as a recruit, you like to see deals like

that,” said sophomore receiver Tylan Wallace, who was a highly-touted four-star recruit from Fort Worth, Texas. “You like to go to schools that have Heisman Trophy winners. “Obviously, you see things like that and you want to try to come here and win one yourself, honestly. So I feel like that’s a big thing to see coming in as a recruit.” Sanders’ legacy at OSU is not as widely celebrated as it is at other schools with lone Heisman Trophy winners, such as Baylor, which constructed a statue of 2011 Heisman winner Robert Griffin III near McLane Stadium in STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 4

2014 when he was only two years removed from college. But for OSU, the legendary running back is 30 years removed from his days in the orange and black and 20 years removed from his NFL career. Athletic representatives want to fully embrace the legacy of the greatest player in program history. Gundy has been progressive in his efforts to showcase, display and honor the success OSU has had on the gridiron. Evidence of this has trickled in throughout the years as he has gained more control of the program. It shows in the “1945 National Champions” display that was

hung on the East End Zone wall of the stadium and the banners that were hung last summer displaying every Gundy-era bowl victory in the Sherman E. Smith Training Center. “We’ve got a lot of ground to make up to display the success that we’ve had here and our great players,” Gundy said. “This is a step, with bringing (Sanders) back. “At some point we will display more. We’re not there yet, but that is something I think is important.” Gundy mentioned in August that a statue of Sanders will one day stand outside the west plaza of Boone Pickens Stadium. OSU megabooster T. Boone Pickens

repeated this statement in his letter to OSU fans before the start of the 2018 football season. He said he was “honored that the university has commissioned a sculpture of me to stand at the entrance to the West End Zone at Boone Pickens Stadium,” and “Hopefully, not long after that, I’ll be joined by Barry Sanders, who is so deserving of his own sculpture.” Sanders, along with his offensive linemen, is the grand marshal this weekend for America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration. The Cowboys are wearing throwback uniforms, and the threads Sanders, Gundy and the Cowboys wore in 1988 inspired their design. The uniform will also include

a commemorative patch over the right side of the chest to honor the 30th anniversary of Sanders winning the Heisman Trophy.

“He’s kind of what this whole program is built on,” said Taylor Cornelius, OSU’s starting quarterback. “Tailback U is in the locker room.”

For now, the west plaza of Boone Pickens Stadium remains statueless. And OSU’s lone Heisman Trophy still sits out of sight from fans. But for every recruit who visits Boone Pickens Stadium, a short moment with the hardware symbolizes opportunity, showing the Heisman isn’t out of reach at OSU. And like Sanders’ untouchable name in the NCAA record books, the impact the trophy will continue to have on OSU’s recruiting landscape could withstand the test of time.

SGA passes bill of recommendation to bring scooters back jaco b sturm staff reporter @ Jaco b M St u r m

The Oklahoma State Student Government Association passed a bill recommending that the scooters come back to Oklahoma State. The bill amendments would remove Bird and Lime Scooter Companies from the forwarding list. Sen. Yuki Clarke said the bill is echoing the sentiments of the students, but gives SGA a way to be a part of the process. The senate debated the bill in its entirety,

including the decision to recommend bringing the scooters back to campus. “We have never had a bill come to senate that we have put through without talking to the administration first about feasibility and implementation,” Sen. Mason Russell said, addressing the senate. Russell stressed the importance of having the correct information before passing the bill. “This does not need to be the first thing we have that we do not get the correct input on,” Russell said.

Oklahoma State Student Government meets every Wedenesday.

Despite some of the senators’ opposition to the legislation, the senate decided to pass the bill and will recommend scooters be brought back on

campus to the administration. After the senate was dismissed, Russell explained why he was opposed to the bill. “I know we are the

voice of the students,” Russell said. “We should be and are representing the students, but speaking with the administration to understand feasibility and why things should be done and have been done, is something that I think is very important.” Sen. Franklin Kaleka said he was in support of the bill. “I think that a lot of the confusion had to do with whether we actually had the power to make regulations, when all we were really doing was conveying what the student

body felt was important,” Kaleka said. Kaleka said the number of students who signed the petition to bring the scooters back on campus should not be taken lightly. “That number of students, many who probably opened the email and didn’t respond to it, that tells me that we clearly have an obligation to convey our message,” Kaleka said.

Crime Notes: Don’t bring a gun to a fist fight E l l i e M elero s taff Repo rter @ E l ean o r _M el er o

Stillwater police were dispatched to the parking lot of the Bank NA at Sixth Street and Washington Street around 2 a.m. on Oct. 12 in response to reports of a fight with possible gun involvement. When officers arrived at the scene they saw two men grappling with each other next to a Ford F-150. One of the men, later identified as Cooper Dean Kious, 22, had a wound on the upper left side of his lip and large amounts of blood on his shirt, according to police

reports. The other man was identified as Cale Braden Pederson, 29. Police told the two men to step away from each other. Both men were visibly intoxicated, according to police reports. They were searched and no weapons were found, but a search of the F-150 resulted in the discovery of two handguns, one of which had fresh blood on it, according to police reports. A witness came forward and told officers he saw the fight from the second floor of a nearby parking garage, according to police reports. The witness said he

saw Kious and Pederson get into a fight with two unknown men who fled the scene before police arrived. The witness recorded a video in which Kious’ voice can be heard threatening to shoot the two unknown men. Kious and Pederson were both arrested for public intoxication. Pederson was transported to the Stillwater Jail, but Kious was taken to Stillwater Medical Center to be treated for his lip wound, according to police reports. While at the hospital, Kious explained that he and Pederson were leaving Outlaws when they

got into an argument with the two unknown men. One of them punched Kious. Kious responded by going to his F-150 and pulling his gun out of the vehicle, according to police reports. The two men left, and Pederson was upset with Kious for pulling out his gun, according to reports. Kious and Pederson started wrestling with each other until police arrived, according to police reports. When Kious was released from the hospital he was additionally charged with possession of a firearm while intoxicated. Kious’ surety bond

in the amount of $5,000 was posted Oct. 15. His next court appearance will be at 1:45 p.m. on Nov. 20.

Child neglect About 7 a.m. on Oct. 16, Stillwater police were dispatched to Stillwater Medical Center in response to reports of an infant patient whose mother was under the influence of drugs. At the same time two other officers were dispatched to the home of the woman to look for her 3-year-old son. When officers arrived at the home, they

found the child asleep in his room with no adult supervision, according to police reports. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services was contacted, and the child was released into DHS custody around 11:30 a.m, according to police reports. When officers arrived at the hospital, the emergency room staff briefed the officers on what they had observed. Sherri Janette Farr, 35, the mother of the 2-monthold patient, had brought the child in to be seen but was behaving like someone on drugs, according STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 10

to police reports. The officers went to the room where the patient and her mother were, and officers asked to speak to Farr while the ER staff attended to the child. Based on Farr’s behavior during their conversation, the officer believed she was under the influence of methamphetamine, according to police reports. During the conversation, Farr said that she had taken speed sometime the day before, but she could not remember when, according to police reports. She also admitted to being addicted to meth. Farr also said that she had been

When asked about her child she had left at home, Farr said her son was with her father and that her son had been with her father for about a week. She did not realize the child was home alone, according to reports. Farr was arrested for public intoxication and child neglect. DHS was contacted, and the infant was taken to the OU Children’s Hospital to be treated for respiratory syncytial virus, according to police reports.

who was later identified as John Edward Sanders, 24, out of the ditch. The man informed officers that he was trying to help Sanders home after Sanders chugged half a bottle of Fireball at a party, according to police reports. Sanders was extremely intoxicated and refused help from the other man and the police officers, according to police reports. The officers determined Sanders was too drunk to take care of himself and he was not going to cooperate with the other man, according to police reports. They arrested him for public intoxication. Sanders resisted the

two officers and injured an officer’s hand, according to police reports. Medics arrived on the scene and cleared Sanders to be taken to the Stillwater Jail. When police searched Sanders for weapons, they found a bag containing marijuana in his pocket. Sanders was taken to the Stillwater Jail and charged with public intoxication, resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.

The Cowboy family has many reasons to celebrate at Homecoming 2018. This year, we’re marking the 30th anniversary of Barry Sanders’ Heisman Trophy season. Sanders and his offensive line the “War Pigs” are serving as grand marshals of the Sea of Orange Parade on Saturday morning. They will also present trophies at halftime to Homecoming contest winners. OSU is also celebrating the 60th anniversary of Pistol Pete, America’s greatest mascot. Charles Lester was the first OSU student to wear the Pistol Pete head during the 1958-59 school year. Since then, 99 students have portrayed the character modeled after Frank Eaton, a U.S. deputy marshal who served as a living mascot for OSU from 1923 to his death in 1958 at age 97.
