10/03/20 - Tylan Wallace, Sr/2021, Oklahoma State + 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 + 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 + 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 + 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 + 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 + 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

Chuba Hubbard scored on a 23-yard run with 1:17 remaining to salvage a difficult afternoon and help No. 15 Oklahoma State beat West Virginia 27-13 on Saturday. Sidelined for a number of key plays after fumbling on consecutive second-half possessions, Hubbard ended up with 101 yards on 22 rushes for his 12th 100-yard performance in his last 13 games. With the additional action, Hubbard's backup, L.D. Brown, gained 103 yards on 11 carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run, for Oklahoma State (2-0, 1-0 Big 12). True freshman backup quarterback Shane Illingworth, in his first collegiate start, completed 15 of 21 passes for 139 yards, but also had an interception, for the Cowboys.

Jarret Doege threw for 285 yards and a touchdown for West Virginia (1-1, 0-1), which actually outgained Oklahoma State 353-342. Winston Wright had four catches for 103 yards, including a 70-yard score late in the second quarter. West Virginia was hurt by several costly penalties, getting flagged 12 times for 106 yards. Oklahoma State came through with a key turnover early in the second quarter. After defensive end Trace Ford forced a fumble by hitting Doege's arm while he was about to pass, Tyren Irby scooped up the loose ball in the backfield and raced 56 yards for the touchdown that made it 14-0. - Oklahoma State/AP College Football

09/23/20 - Alan Bowman, rSr/2025, Oklahoma State + More +

It took three years, but Alan Bowman will finally get to introduce himself to Texas' defense this weekend. Bowman will likely be Texas Tech's starting quarterback when the Red Raiders host UT on Saturday afternoon. This is Bowman's third year at Texas Tech. He, however, has never faced the Longhorns. Bowman missed the 2018 meeting between these in-state rivals - a 41-34 win for Texas in Lubbock - with a collapsed lung. A shoulder injury sidelined him for his team's 49-24 loss at Royal-Memorial Stadium in 2019.

The 6-3, 215-pound Bowman was a three-star prospect when he was signed out of Grapevine High. He has shown flashes of brilliance at Texas Tech. Bowman threw for 605 yards in the third game of his collegiate career, and that effort against Houston is the fifth-best effort in school history. Over his 12 career games, Bowman has averaged 340.7 passing yards. "We had always thought, when healthy, this guy was one of the better ones in the Big 12. I think he proved that two Saturdays ago with his performance against Houston Baptist" Texas coach Tom Herman said on Monday. "We definitely know that he is more than capable. He is one of the better ones, again, in our league and we're going to have our work cut out for us." - Austin American Statesman

09/17/20 - Calvin Bundage, rSr/2021, Oklahoma State + More +

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior says he learned that he was playing with the injury longer than he knew. "I never really played fully healthy, but I didn't know I wasn't healthy," he said. "Now it's a big difference. "It feels great to put everything at rest and prove I'm the best. I feel like I came back better than last time. I'm a better player this year." As good as Calvin felt on the inside, those on the outside were cautiously hopeful as they watched him return. "I was holding my breath with him until I saw him get into some tackles and contact in practice," coach Mike Gundy said. "I was hoping he would be there tomorrow and push through it, and he's done well." Now nearly six weeks into preseason practices, coaches and teammates are raving about Calvin's play.

He stands to bring an extra element as a pass rusher to the linebacker group that includes a pair of starters - Amen Ogbongbemiga and Malcolm Rodriguez - who had over 100 tackles apiece last season. "I was hoping Calvin could come back and play, for him more so than for the team," Gundy said. "As a coach, it's just tragic when you see a young man who can't compete anymore who still wants to play the game. "I'm really excited for him. His attitude, his posture and his demeanor over the past two months has been fabulous. He's smiling again. I'm just happy that he gets to get back on the field, because he loves to play football." The time away from the game reminded Calvin of that. "It convinced me that this is what I want to do until I can't do it anymore," he said. "I want to play football." - Daily Oklahoman

09/17/20 - Tylan Wallace, Sr/2021, Oklahoma State + More +

Oklahoma State receiver Tylan Wallace spent a good portion of the preseason wearing a brace on his surgically repaired knee, along with a green no-contact jersey for added protection during practice. But as this week's game against Tulsa - set for 11 a.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium - got closer, Wallace got back to full contact, and he eventually removed the knee brace as well. "I feel like I'm back where I was, back where I used to be," Wallace said. "I probably had the green jersey on for a couple weeks. I had it on for a while, and realized I was getting close to game day and it was gonna have to come off. "It came off, took the brace off, got into some contact stuff, starting running routes without it and felt perfectly fine. I feel kind of like the old me now. I feel like I'm going out there and playing football like I used to."

Wallace, a Blietnikoff Award finalist in 2018, tore his ACL late last October, finishing his junior season with 903 yards and eight touchdowns in eight games. Quarterback Spencer Sanders has seen Wallace regain his confidence in practice. And the quarterback has had to remind Wallace to take it easy at times in drills. "His motivation to get back and hold himself accountable for his job - he's gonna do what he's put on film the past three years. He's gonna give it his 100%," Sanders said. "I love watching Tylan play. "I think he's ballin' even better than he was last year." - Daily Oklahoman

09/17/20 - Malcolm Rodriguez, rSr/2022, Oklahoma State + More +

A year ago in preseason camp, Oklahoma State's Malcolm Rodriguez was forced into action as a linebacker after playing safety the previous two seasons. He totaled 103 tackles and became a reliable force in the middle of the defense, despite playing most of the season around 210 pounds. But Rodriguez spent the offseason focused on developing his body to better handle the pounding a linebacker can take near the line of scrimmage. "I'm pushing almost 230, so I've gained a little bit of weight since last year," the 5-foot-11 senior said. "The game goes a lot faster when you're up there at linebacker, so now I'm used to seeing all those pulls (by offensive linemen) and everything. The feet are better. - Daily Oklahoman
