Oklahoma State wideout Tylan Wallace, the Big 12's leader in nearly every major receiving category - including receptions per game (7.0), yards per game (117.6) and total yardage (588) - was held out of the lineup Saturday, reportedly batting a muscle injury that occurred in a practice earlier this week. His only appearance in the game came during the fourth quarter, when he took the field for an onside kick by K-State. He knocked the ball out of bounds before returning to the Cowboys' sideline. - Manhattan Mercury

Star running back Chuba Hubbard, who ranked third in the Big 12 entering Saturday with 110 rushing yards per game, carried the ball only six times for 31 yards against the Wildcats. He did not log a rushing attempt in the fourth quarter, as he was dealing with an apparent leg injury. - Manhattan Mercury

11/07/20 - LD Brown, rSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 5-09, 187 (DS#50 RB) + More +

Oklahoma State was missing so many offensive players to injuries this week that coach Mike Gundy joked he took most of the reps at running back, even though he's a 53-year-old ex-quarterback who was hardly known for his wheels. Good thing the Cowboys' defense showed up against Kansas State. Jason Taylor II returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Oklahoma State stopped the Wildcats' 2-point try that would have tied the game with 2:08 to go, allowing the No. 14 Cowboys to escape with a 20-18 victory Saturday night that kept their Big 12 title hopes alive.

"We don't ever talk about it," Gundy said, "but they need the credit this week for fighting through where they were and finding aw ay to win on the road and play this game. It's extremely difficult when you don't have your guys practicing, even though they're some veteran guys. You need to practice." Spencer Sanders was held to just 108 yards passing without dynamic wide receiver Tylan Wallace and with running back Chuba Hubbard slowed by an injury. LD Brown helped to pick up the load, running for 110 yards, as Oklahoma State (5-1, 4-1) leaned on a defense that was trampled by Texas a week ago. - AP College Football

Spencer Sanders passed for 235 yards and ran for 71 and a touchdown in his return from injury, and No. 6 Oklahoma State defeated No. 17 Iowa State 24-21 on Saturday. Sanders had been out since injuring his right ankle in the season-opener against Tulsa. Chuba Hubbard ran for 139 yards and a touchdown for Oklahoma State (4-0, 3-0 Big 12). With the win, the Cowboys joined Kansas State as the only remaining undefeated teams in conference play. The Cyclones (3-2, 3-1) vaulted onto the national radar by beating Oklahoma earlier in the month and were seeking their first ever 4-0 start in league play. Iowa State’s Breece Hall, who was second nationally in yards rushing per game, ran for a career-high 185 yards. With Oklahoma State leading 14-7 late in the second quarter, Iowa State drove deep into Oklahoma State territory but had to settle for a field goal attempt. Connor Assalley’s 33-yard kick bounced off the right upright with 1:22 left in the first half. It was his second missed field goal of the first half, and Oklahoma State took its seven-point lead into the break. - Oklahoma State/AP College Football

10/17/20 - Alan Bowman, rSr/2025, Oklahoma State, 6-3, 220 (DS#60 QB) + More +

Four games into the current season and with Texas Tech still looking for a Big 12 win, coach Matt Wells announced a quarterback change Wednesday. Alan Bowman, who had shown tantalizing potential the past two seasons when not sidelined by long-term injuries, is out. Utah State transfer Henry Colombi is the new starter, Wells said, for Tech's next game, Oct. 24 against West Virginia. Wells said Colombi "kind of jumpstarted the offense" in relief appearances against Kansas State and Iowa State. Colombi has completed 74.1% of his passes for 359 yards, with three touchdown passes and one interception. He was also familiar with the system offensive coordinator David Yost from Utah State.

While Bowman suffered an ankle injury against K-State, that was not the reason for the change."Alan has played OK," Wells said. "He has not played bad. I want to say that. He is not the reason we're 1-3, absolutely. It's never that way. Playing the quarterback position, I understand it that quarterbacks usually get too much credit and they get too much blame. "Certainly I want to make sure we're definitely not blaming, and it's absolutely not that. But when you're 1-3 and you have played just OK, and as we work through it with Alan, he understands that." A redshirt sophomore from Grapevine, Bowman had a 64.7% completion rate with 881 yards. He's thrown seven touchdowns but also had four interceptions. - Dallas Morning News

10/10/20 - Tylan Wallace, Sr/2021, Oklahoma State, 5-11, 194 (DS#10 WR) + More +

Tylan Wallace was having a relatively quiet start to the season. It was speculated the Oklahoma State receiver might have been dealing with the lingering effects of his ACL injury from late in the 2019 season. Others wrote it off as the offense was focusing more on avoiding major mistakes from true freshman quarterback Shane Illingworth once starter Spencer Sanders went down on the first play of the second offensive drive of the season. "Tylan is very driven," Cowboy coach Mike Gundy said. "He was at, sometimes, we felt four to six weeks ahead in recovery, just based on his willingness to work hard with with rehab. And he's put himself in a good situation. He's somewhat past the mental part of it, which, you know, anytime you get injured, you know, it works on you mentally a little bit, and I think he's gotten past that now. And he's back to just enjoying the game."

Whatever the case was, it's now a thing of the past with the help of the outmatched, inexperienced Kansas defense. Wallace recorded his first 100-yard receiving performance of the season, and hauled in his first touchdowns - including the team's first passing touchdown of the year. He finished with nine catches for 148 yards, with a long of 55 yards, and two touchdowns. "What they did defensively allowed us to be able to do those things," Wallace said. "We watched their past few games and we knew they were going to come out and do that. That's exactly what we needed to be able to throw the ball down the field, and I think we did a better job, obviously, than the past few games." - Stillwater Press

10/09/20 - Alan Bowman, rSr/2025, Oklahoma State, 6-3, 220 (DS#60 QB) + More +

An injury to Alan Bowman in Saturday's loss at Kansas State disrupted the Texas Tech quarterback picture for the third year in a row. Maybe this setback won't be as long-term as the collapsed lung and the cracked collarbone that caused Bowman to miss 13 games and the second halves of two others over the previous two seasons. Either way, the Red Raiders developed some confidence Saturday in his backup. Discussing Bowman's injured right ankle, Tech coach Matt Wells said Monday, "Nothing's broke. Nothing's fractured. He's day to day." But Wells and offensive coordinator David Yost indicated Bowman is likely to miss practice time this week and that Henry Colombi could get more snaps than usual to prepare. Tech (1-2, 0-2 in the Big 12) visits No. 24 Iowa State (2-1, 2-0) for a game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Asked if the quarterbacks' snaps will be adjusted this week, Wells said, "If he doesn't practice today, then you've got to." "We normally are a on a two-thirds/one-third rotation with the one and two quarterback throughout practice," Yost said. "Could he get closer to 50-50 this week? It's very possible. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

Heisman hopeful running back Chuba Hubbard finally burst onto the scene this season with 20 carries for 145 yards and two touchdowns in just over one half of work. His 7.25 yards per carry was his best output this season, and the sixth game in the past two years in which Hubbard rushed for more than 7 yards an attempt. "I was thoroughly (impressed). It was great to see him get out there on the perimeter, stretch those legs and get that speed," Dunn said. "...It was good to see him get out there on the perimeter today and get some space in some green grass." - Stillwater Press

10/03/20 - Tylan Wallace, Sr/2021, Oklahoma State, 5-11, 194 (DS#10 WR) + More +

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy finally got to see what his offense was capable of doing Saturday. It looked a lot like it has the past decade or so. After a couple ho-hum performances against Tulsa and West Virginia, the No. 17 Cowboys took advantage of a porous and backpedaling Kansas defense to get back on track. Shane Illingworth threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns, Chuba Hubbard ran for 145 yards and two more scores, and the Cowboys were so far ahead by the third quarter that they were able to rest most of their starters the final 20 minutes of their 47-7 romp at Memorial Stadium.

Tylan Wallace had nine catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns, and Braylon Johnson had four catches for 74 yards and the other passing TD, as the Cowboys (3-0, 2-0 Big 12) built a 31-0 lead by halftime and coasted from there. "Moving the quarterback around and changing linemen around, we couldn't get in sync," Gundy said. "Today we looked more like who we've been the last 13 or 14 years on offense." Oklahoma State finished with 298 yards through the air and 295 on the ground for 593 yards of total offense. But as gaudy as those numbers might be, the Cowboys' defense may have been even more impressive. - Oklahoma State/AP College Football

10/02/20 - Christian Holmes, rSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 6-0, 201 (DS#52 CB) + More +

For some athletes, seeing a daunting task ahead might send them in a different direction - perhaps down an easier path. But when Christian Holmes elected to leave Missouri as a graduate transfer, he looked at the pass-happy offenses of the Big 12 as a great obstacle for himself to prove his skills. And that's part of his reasoning for landing at Oklahoma State. "I think my mind was made up when I wanted to prove to myself to get more tape of my ability. The ball is thrown a lot in the Big 12," Holmes told the media prior to the season. ""… It is crazy to see the ball thrown around. This is the most I've seen the ball thrown around since I probably put on a helmet. It's crazy and it's fun. It's the way every corner dreams to do."

But there are a lot of defenses in the Big 12 that could have easily benefited from having an experience cornerback added to its roster. At Missouri, Holmes recorded 64 tackles and two interceptions in the previous two seasons before heading to Stillwater. So he could have contributed to any secondary in the Big 12. But it was Oklahoma State's recent success on the field that made it all that more appealing than any other football program. - Stillwater Press

10/01/20 - Teven Jenkins, rSr/2021, Oklahoma State, 6-5, 317 (DS#3 OT) + More +

Jenkins said he spent two or three weeks thinking about whether he wanted to leave early for the NFL last year, before settling on returning for his senior season. "Teven is an interesting young man," Gundy said. "He doesn't even know how good he is. He doesn't know how much he's worth, if you want me to just call it like it is. "He's uncharacteristically strong. He has tremendous feet. He's got good leverage. He's highly intelligent, and his work ethic is getting better this year." All the focus on the OSU offense is drawn toward superstars Tylan Wallace and Chuba Hubbard, who are set to be early-round picks. But if Jenkins continues to perform at the level he's been at, he could rise into that range as well. "That's the kind of talent that he has," Gundy said. "If he just gets his mind focused on, "That's what I want to do," that's the level he could get to. "In this last game, he actually played a little bit nasty, like what you have to do to be a really good player and play in the NFL." - Daily Oklahoman

09/30/20 - *Chuba Hubbard, rJr/2021, Oklahoma State, 6-0, 210 (DS#7 RB) + More +

A week ago against Tulsa, with an offensive line in shambles, Hubbard had to grind out 93 yards on 27 carries. On Saturday, he had 101 yards on 22 attempts - two yards fewer than backfield-mate LD Brown, who had half as many carries. Hubbard's hold-your-breath-when-he-touches-the-ball talent has yet to be on display this season. Maybe it has to do with an inexperienced and injury-riddled offensive line, or defenses ganging up to stop him when there's a third-string, true freshman quarterback running the offense. Or maybe something else is off in Hubbard's game. Saturday's two fumbles were uncharacteristic of Hubbard, who committed himself to better ball security after an early-season fumble last year against McNeese. "It's not good when you put the ball on the ground," OSU coach Mike Gundy said. "He knows that and he's gotta do a better job of taking care of the football. He did come back in late and made a cut and made a score and did good for us. "But this is not a secret. He needs to take care of the football. We have to have him healthy, rushing the ball and taking care of the football in order for us to be a good offensive football team." - Daily Oklahoman

09/30/20 - Elijah Collins, rSr/2024, Oklahoma State, 6-0, 212 (DS#48 RB) + More +

One year ago this month, Elijah Collins took a handoff and ran 29 yards before he got tackled and brought Spartan Stadium to its feet. As a true freshman, he injected life into a seemingly dead Michigan State offense and followed it up often enough to finish with almost 1,000 yards rushing. In Collins' eyes, it was a decent debut. It is nowhere near the full show he wants to present in this backfield before he is finished. "Last year, I had a few big runs, but I never really broke any home," Collins said. "That's one thing I really wanted to focus on, getting that breakaway speed at the end and really finishing my runs to turn them into touchdowns and not just long runs." After taking hold of the role with a 192-yard breakout performance against Western Michigan in Week 2, Collins finished the year with with 988 yards and five touchdowns to earn honorable mention All-Big Ten honors.

It was a season of singles and doubles in his eyes. He had the 29-yard dash on his first carry and finished with a long of 58, but his 4.5 per-carry average and five touchdowns showcase a player who kept drives moving but rarely finished them. Michigan State finished 104th in scoring offense and 7-6 overall, so Collins believes his breakout year was still far from hitting its peak. "I know I could have done better. There were a lot of things I really didn't know," said Collins, who had two carries before last season. "But after playing and looking at my own film and studying a lot, I would like to have a better year." - Lansing State Journal

09/29/20 - LD Brown, rSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 5-09, 187 (DS#50 RB) + More +

It's unlikely the Oklahoma State offense will get 60-plus yards from Brown every game, especially if/when quarterback Spencer Sanders returns from an ankle injury. But Brown has showcased he can be more consistent for the Cowboys, which will lead the coaching staff to working him onto the field more often. And that can only be a positive for Hubbard. The Canadian running back was clearly gassed in the final regular season games last season - with his only back-to-back games averaging less than 5 yards per carry coming against West Virginia and Oklahoma.

Hubbard has a quiet 49 carries for 194 yards and two scores this season - at times not looking nearly as explosive as Brown - and part of the reason for his lower numbers are due to the effectiveness of Brown in complementing the running game. Oklahoma State's star tailback will likely get on track, sparking interest again from the NFL scouts, but Brown has gotten onto the radar of those same scouts and on Big 12 defenses. And not having to rely on one bell-cow in the backfield will keep the Cowboys on conference championship contenders, especially in the latter part of the season with two running backs splitting the beating on the ground. - Stillwater Press
