<p>The four (five) things that really stuck out in Oklahoma State’s season-opening victory.</p> <p id="mjKWcF">Let’s call this CRFF’s version of the Monday Morning Quarterback. After some time away from the game and the ability to look back, each week we’re going to examine the four things from the previous game that really stood out.</p>
<h4 id="cvruWZ">Quarter One: Spencer Sanders</h4>
<p id="cZeC1q">The athleticism. The legs. The arm. The redshirt freshman we’ve all been hearing and talking about since before he stepped foot on campus finally made his debut and he didn’t disappoint.</p>
<p id="Kpt6Xn">19/24 for 203 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and another 109 yards on the ground, and moves like this.</p>

<p id="MdZKfd">Sanders looks like the present and the future for Oklahoma State, but let’s discuss a couple of things.</p>
<p id="OtoONi">First, While Sanders impressed, he also showed that he is still a redshirt freshman. He had moments that made that started with concern and ended with relief. He avoided any interceptions, but that’s just because Oregon State’s defensive backfield isn’t any good. Oklahoma State was bailed out by pass-interference calls twice on <a href="https://twitter.com/Tapedoesntliepd/status/1168564646619561984?s=20">balls that a more talented DB would have picked off</a>. Well guess what folks, OSU is going to face more talented DBs than they did on Friday.</p>
<p id="QTPrOl">Also, dude, DON’T DO THIS AGAIN!!!</p>

</figure>
<p id="rpa43b">The talent is obvious, but he’s got some learnin’ still to do.</p>
<p id="IIK6AZ">Secondly, the Cornelius slander because of how Sanders looked is stupid. Yes, a lot of what Sanders did on the field on Friday night was about his talent and athleticism. But if you think the time he spent sitting for a year didn’t help him, you’re crazy. </p>
<p id="J2Dxv4">Sanders and Wallace already look to have a very natural connection. Think that’s not better because he waited?</p>
<p id="xz9KBV">Maybe he would have looked this good as a true freshman. Maybe they should have run him out during the season to see how he looked. But the idea that he’s not better today than he would have been at any point last season is just silly to me.</p>
<p id="2OZAfu">Let’s not end this on a low note. Sanders was a spectacle to see and if he keeps completing <a href="https://twitter.com/pistolsguys/status/1167643808877699073?s=20">throws like this</a>, oh my.</p>
<h4 id="7ubn5d">Second Quarter: The Dickey Effect</h4>
<p id="W5Rq2i">The first thing I wrote about Oklahoma State’s offense of Friday was this;</p>
<p id="GeR0ND">Chuba is AMAZING.</p>
<div id="xWqoY6">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<p id="7jepXP">They were opening up running lanes all over the field, getting down field to throw blocks (loved<a href="https://twitter.com/the_LGG/status/1167646639143739392?s=20"> this one </a>from Teven Jenkins), and not only keeping Spencer Sanders upright, but giving him time to throw. I know Oregon State’s defensive line isn’t awesome, but the Cowboy O-Line gave up just one sack, one quarterback hurry.</p>
<p id="2wRSK6">While I’m no offensive line expert (I’ll leave that to <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamLunt817">Adam Lunt</a>), but Jenkins and Bray really stood out. Charlie Dickey hasn’t been with the team for a full calendar cycle, but if game one is any indication, Oklahoma State may finally have an end to the subpar offensive line play that has plagued the team for the last six years.</p>
<h4 id="eT4cKZ">Quarter Three: The Defense is Bad(?)</h4>
<p id="bfd7ev">I think all Oklahoma State fans let out a collective groan after Oregon State’s first offensive drive of the game. A six-play, 70-yard TD drive where the Cowboys’ defensive line was absolutely dominated by the Oregon State o-line. It was embarrassing to watch and concerning to see. Then linebackers weren’t much better.</p>
<p id="qhaQN5">But, after that first quarter, they settled down. They filled more of the holes, the stopped more long runs. They knocked down multiple passes — I think I saw two by my new favorite player Trace Ford — they got a sack and had eight quarterback hurries.</p>
<p id="BWIfOG">In the second and third quarters, when the defense was clicking, they held Oregon State to 191 yards and 13 points in six 1/2 drives. That’s compared to the first and fourth quarters where the Beavers had 262 yards and 23 points in four 1/2 drives. Plus, during the final scoring drive, the back-ups were in on defense.</p>
<p id="Uvy3uG">I realize that’s nitpicking and over analyzing. The defense still isn’t there, and Oklahoma State is going to face more talented offenses moving forward. There is some cause for concern, because the secondary, which we all thought would be great, wasn’t super impressive either.</p>
<p id="kV6CnW">But, I’m going to give this defense, with all its new starting linemen, a little more time to gel before I set off any real alarm bells.</p>
<h4 id="zdiG7b">Quarter Four: Cleaning Things Up</h4>
<p id="mMLBaU">The biggest offseason focus for the Cowboys was discipline. Specifically, reducing the number of penalties, something that absolutely wrecked Oklahoma State last season.</p>
<p id="unyDsE">Against Oregon State, the Cowboys had six penalties for 55 yards. Considering two of those came on the Beavers’ last offensive drive of the game and were committed by a true-freshman and a redshirt freshman.</p>
<p id="5HCLkk">Your others were two offensive holding calls (one on Johnny Wilson), a false start on Teven Jenkins, and an illegal block on special teams.</p>
<p id="UcVwBk">They are all fixable penalties. No late hits, no targeting, no one playing recklessly. That’s huge. If OSU can keep the penalties down, it should show up in the win column.</p>
<h4 id="sPZ2Du">Overtime: The Other Options</h4>
<p id="krGiZ6">There are so many other things we can talk about, but there’s one in particular I’d like to; the receivers not named Tylan Wallace.</p>
<p id="PeZqZG">When they announced the addition of Jordan McCray, it seemed strange. Of all the positions of need, wide receiver didn’t seem like one. But Coach Dunn made the right move and all the preseason hype surrounding McCray was accrit. His two catches were gems and feels like it might end up being the pick-up of the offseason for OSU.</p>
<p id="63ayhx">Also, at Big 12 Media Days, Mike Gundy talked about how they knew Tylan Wallace could be special as a freshman because every time they saw him on the field he did something to “wow” them, even in his limited opportunities. Well, let me introduce you to redshirt freshman CJ Moore who is backing up McCray. His 11-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter impressed me. No, it didn’t “wow” me, but it was enough to make me keep an eye on him moving forward.</p>

<p>Week 1 is in the books, and the Cowboys survived #Pac12AfterDark</p> <p id="t7PYDg">After a #Pac12AfterDark game with <a href="https://www.buildingthedam.com/">Oregon State</a>, <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Oklahoma State</a> came out with a win 52-36. It was the debut of <span>Spencer Sanders</span>, and the chance for the nation to see how special <span>Chuba Hubbard</span> is. There was a good amount to unpack from this game, so Phillip and Joel got together to record this episode immediately following the conclusion of the game in Corvallis. They’ll be back mid-week to preview the game against McNeese State.</p>

<p>The Cowboys’ Triplets shine and the defense holds Jermar Jefferson under 100 yards.</p> <p id="YfNoaq">Redshirt freshman quarterback <span>Spencer Sanders</span> threw for 203 yards and three touchdowns in his debut during <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Oklahoma State</a>’s season-opening 52-36 win over <a href="https://www.buildingthedam.com/">Oregon State</a> on Friday night at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.</p>
<p id="ALSwi7"><span>Sanders</span>, who was named the starter over graduate transfer <span>Dru Brown</span> from Hawaii just hours prior to kickoff, was 19-for-24 with no interceptions and also showcased his mobility by rushing for 109 yards on 13 carries. <span>Brown</span> did see two snaps in the game with 1:19 remaining in the game, handing the ball off each time.</p>
<p id="e9A0bz">Redshirt sophomore <span>Chuba Hubbard</span> rushed for a career-high 221 yards on 26 carries and three touchdowns. It’s the first time since Gerald Hudson (121) and <span>Barry Sanders</span> (312) in 1988 the Cowboys have had a 100- and 200-yard rusher in the same game.</p>
<p id="ZfOVsj">Junior wide receiver <span>Tylan Wallace</span>, who was a Biletnikoff Award finalist a year ago, had five receptions for 92 yards and two scores.</p>
<p id="5MfbFt">Oregon State had their own QB battle in fall camp, but <span>Jake Luton</span> was named the starter last week. The sixth-year signal caller threw for 251 yards and three scores. <span>Isaiah Hodgins</span> caught nine passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Running back <span>Jermar Jefferson</span>, who rushed for 1,380 yards last season, was limited only 87 yards on the ground.</p>
<p id="uNBIJM">It wasn’t all rosy for the Cowboys (1-0), who allowed a six-play, 70-yard drive on the opening possession with <span>Jermar Jefferson</span> slashing through the defense with two runs for 37 yards. <span>Luton</span> then found <span>Hodgins</span> in the back left corner of the end zone from 29 yards out.</p>
<p id="VUTKUY"><span>Sanders</span> took his first snap in his college career and... handed it off to <span>Hubbard</span> for a 3-yard gain. Hubbard did the heavy lifting on the drive, with 55 rushing yards on four carries, including a 6-yard score on an option play opened up by a kick out block from cowboy back <span>Logan Carter</span>.</p>

<p id="9M5Js9"><span>Luton</span> and the Beavers (0-1) responded by marching down the field before <span>Artavis Pierce</span> was unable to haul in a pass, and they settled for a 30-yard field goal from <span>Jordan Choukair</span> to make it 10-7 just 5:31 into the game.</p>
<p id="X67RxV">But then the Cowboys took over with 24 unanswered points as Sanders started to find his rhythm. </p>
<p id="zEcGdp">After overcoming two third downs, Sanders looked to have his first TD pass of his career with a 6-yard touch pass to <span>Wallace</span> in the back corner of the end zone, but it was overturned after video review showed Wallace was out of bounds. <span>Matt Ammendola</span> hit a 23-yarder to tie it at 10.</p>
<p id="mtT8Wu">Sanders went 3-for-4 on the next drive, including a 23-yard pass to Wallace, who had lots of green ahead of him down the right sideline but stepped out of bounds. Hubbard followed with a 26-yard run, and Sanders hit <span>Landon Wolf</span> for 20 yards then <span>LD Brown</span> punched it in from 6 yards to give the Cowboys their first lead of the season, 17-10, with 9:41 left in the first half.</p>
<p id="CeqlMp">Sanders and Wallace connected on two scores from 36 and 21 yards to increase the lead, including a pass on a third-and-7 for 21 yards that saw offensive tackle <span>Teven Jenkins</span> come up with a big downfield block. </p>

<p id="Ph8Dum">After the Cowboys scored 24 unanswered points, the Beavers drove down the field to the 1-yard line in the final 2 minutes. <span>Malcolm Rodriguez</span> stood up Luton at the goal line, but after the two teams exchanged time outs Luton found <span>Tyjon Lindsey</span> on an out route. The Beavers two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete for the Cowboys to head into halftime 31-16.</p>
<p id="T6n52w">Sanders was 2 for 3 with 14 yards – and induced a defensive pass interference – in the first quarter. He went 8 for 10 for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the second quarter.</p>
<p id="EwwBLt">Hubbard opened the second half with a 2-yard score before Hodgins answered in a big way accounting for 71 of the 73 yards on the Beavers’ drive. Hodgins hauled in a 10-yard TD catch to make it 38-23. </p>
<p id="gpU5Mw">Oregon State then forced a three-and-out much to the dismay of Stoner, who appeared to reach past the first down marker. The 29-year-old Australian freshman <span>Tom Hutton</span> entered the game and booted a 40-yard punt.</p>

<p>After a long QB battle, the redshirt freshman gets the start over Dru Brown. </p> <p id="LMGvhK">The <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Oklahoma State</a> quarterback battle between <span>Dru Brown</span> and redshirt freshman <span>Spencer Sanders</span> has gone on since spring practice. It has been sensed that this has been a legitimate competition, and not coach Mike Gundy giving the senior player a fair shake just because. The fanbase has wanted Sanders, the heir apparent, to get his chance after sitting behind <span>Taylor Cornelius</span> last season, and it looks like he’s gotten that shot.</p>
<p id="piJqys">Rumors have swirled some during the last 24 hours that Sanders was named the starting QB, but nothing was ever confirmed until now. </p>
<p id="N3hRaR">Confirmation came about two hours before kickoff from Brett McMurphy of The Stadium. </p>

<p>The Cowboys will be without one of their top defenders.</p> <p id="PxoPZ0">Oklahoma State will be without senior linebacker <span>Calvin Bundage</span> for Friday’s season opener at Oregon State, Robert Allen of 247Sports reported during his spot on 107.7 The Franchise.</p>

<p id="qOgNR8">Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said <span>Bundage</span> was cleared for full speed earlier this month after being banged up throughout fall camp. It appears Bundage isn’t ready enough for game action.</p>
<p id="jlXXrL">Bundage and true freshman Na’drian Dizadare were listed as “or” behind <span>Malcolm Rodriguez</span>, who is making the transition from safety to linebacker, on the team’s first depth chart of the fall. Bundage has 129 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks in 35 career games.</p>

<p>Here’s how you can watch Oklahoma State’s first game of the 2019 season. </p> <p id="VoGeDh">We made it people! Another offseason has come and gone! <a href="https://www.cowboysrideforfree.com/">Oklahoma State</a> will head out west to Corvallis, Oregon, to take on <a href="https://www.buildingthedam.com/">Oregon State</a>. With some question looming over the Cowboys starting out of the gate a win would be big.
