  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 BowmanrSr/2025, Oklahoma State, 6-3, 220 (DS#60 QB) + 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

  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 WallaceSr/2021, Oklahoma State, 5-11, 194 (DS#10 WR) + 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

  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

  09/15/20 - Tay MartinSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 6-2, 184 (DS#58 WR) + More +

  Tay Martin hasn't been at Oklahoma State long, but he's making a quick impact. OSU coach Mike Gundy says he expects the 6-foot-3, 186-pound transfer receiver from Washington State to be heavily involved when No. 11 Oklahoma State faces Tulsa at 11 a.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium. Martin had over 1,600 receiving yards in three seasons at Washington State, playing in Mike Leach's spread offense. He announced his decision to transfer on Aug. 22, and learned a little over a week ago that he had been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA, since the Pac-12 is not playing football this fall. "I would expect him to get an extensive number of snaps in Saturday's game," Gundy said, noting the similarities of the Leach offense to what OSU runs. "The terminology is relatively similar, so it did help him in his adjustment to Oklahoma State. "An extra week of practice was an advantage for him." - Stillwater Press

  Just as Chuba Hubbard began his Zoom call with the media last Tuesday, the Oklahoma State running back was informed he had been named a preseason All-American by ESPN. Hubbard cracked a half-smile. "That's cool, I guess," he said. Maybe Hubbard cares deeply on the inside about personal accomplishments. If so, he's a master illusionist when it comes to hiding those feelings. Hubbard enters the season as Oklahoma State's best Heisman Trophy contender since receiver Justin Blackmon finished fifth in 2010. "It's a big year for our team," Hubbard said when asked about the individual accomplishments that could be awaiting him in 2020. "I wouldn't say it's just a big year for me. I didn't come back to break records for myself. I came back to win a Big 12 championship and a national championship with my team. That's my main goal." Of course, to accomplish those goals, it'll likely take a Heisman-type season from someone at Oklahoma State, and Hubbard is the prime candidate after his 2,094-yard season a year ago. Yet even that didn't get him close to a finalist spot in New York. Those spots went to quarterbacks of playoff teams. A running back hasn't finished in the top four of the Heisman voting since Bryce Love was the runner-up in 2017. - Daily Oklahoman

  Alan Bowman threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns and Texas Tech stopped FCS team Houston Baptist on a 2-point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter, hanging on for a 35-33 victory Saturday night. SaRodorick Thompson ran for two scores in the opener of the pandemic-shortened season for the Red Raiders in front of a socially distanced crowd of 11,157. Bailey Zappe threw for 567 yards and four touchdowns in the first game for Houston Baptist (0-2) against a Power 5 opponent a week after finishing with 480 yards passing and three scores in a 57-31 loss to North Texas.

Zappe's final TD pass to Jerreth Sterns pulled the Huskies within two with 3:23 remaining, but his pass to the sideline on the 2-point play was wide and high. The Red Raiders then ran out the clock. Josh Sterns had 209 yards receiving and two touchdowns, including a 75-yarder to get Houston Baptist within eight early in the fourth quarter. Jerreth Sterns had 12 catches for 130 yards. The Huskies set up their chance to tie by stopping Bowman on a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 from the Houston Baptist 4-yard line. Bowman spread the ball around, with five receivers getting at least four catches and 46 yards. KeSean Carter, who led Texas Tech with 86 yards receiving, and Erik Ezukanma had receiving TDs. - Texas Tech/AP College Football

  While his play on the practice field has drawn impressive reviews, Oklahoma State linebacker Calvin Bundage described a long and grueling path back to football that included back surgery last year. Bundage sat out last season with the injury, meeting with as many as eight doctors, some of whom told him to give up football. "This last year has just been battling through adversity trying to get back on the field," Bundage said on Tuesday. "In the last year, I've probably seen seven, eight doctors, but I finally found one at the end. "Everybody was telling me it was a big deal and I probably shouldn't play football. I went to a great doctor and he fixed it. People shy away from back surgery, but mine turned out good." 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." - Daily Oklahoman

  09/08/20 - Josh SillsrSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 6-6, 322 (DS#27 OT) + More +

  Oklahoma State continues to find success on the graduate transfer market by identifying players who can blend in with the program quickly and seamlessly. In a previous press conference, OSU coach Mike Gundy raved about how well grad transfer Christian Holmes from Missouri had found his fit with the team. And on Monday, Gundy had similar comments about offensive lineman Josh Sills, who came in from West Virginia in the winter. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound Sills is set to start at left guard. "He fits into our culture," Gundy said. "He enjoys living in Stillwater. He likes to hunt and do outdoor activities. His attitude, his willingness to be a part of the team, compete - he's not scared to work. We're thrilled to have him. We're excited about the maturity he brings to our team. "He's fun to be around. He fits into our Cowboy culture. He's been a good addition to our football team." - Daily Oklahoman

  09/06/20 - Tay MartinSr/2022, Oklahoma State, 6-2, 184 (DS#58 WR) + More +

  Oklahoma State transfer Tay Martin, a receiver with more than 1,600 receiving yards in his career, has been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA, Martin posted on Twitter on Friday. The 6-foot-3, 186-pound Martin announced his intention to transfer to OSU on Aug. 22, leaving Washington State, which is a member of the Pac-12 Conference and not expected to play football in the fall. In his three seasons as Washington State, Martin had 1,615 yards and 18 touchdowns on 143 receptions. Martin was regarded as a fringe NFL draft prospect after his junior season at Washington State, but chose to stay in school. He immediately enters the competition for playing time at the outside receiver position with Braydon Johnson and Dee Anderson. - Daily Oklahoman
