There is A LOT to Like About Ethan Wesloski!

Ethan led the team in tackles Saturday with 9, and had both a half TFL and a half sack to his credit, so let's start there. Meaning, with his production on the field, because at the end of the day, that's what has to take center stage.

But let's talk a little about how he gets there!

Ethan is SUPER smart, and he processes information super fast. And, when I say that, I mean during the week when digesting the game plan, and on the field during games diagnosing plays in real time.

And he has a great deal of experience in the game of baseball, so he's lived a sports life learning how to handle failure.

So, here's how it goes!

You nuke one right at someone, and you're totally blown up, and tell the world that you have the worst @#$# luck of any human being to ever exist.

Sorry moms...That's actually what happens!

You strike out, and you walk back to the dugout mumbling, how in the @#@$ did I not hit that pitch? Then, once you get in the dugout, you blame your helmet by slamming it, you drop another @##$@ bomb, you explain to everyone in the dugout how #@#@ bad you suck. Then, likely finish it off with a “my bad guys, I can't $%#% hit #@$# to save my @#$@!”

Then, 5 minutes later, you get a ball hit to you, because the ball finds you in those moments, and you make the play, get a hit in your next at-bat, then that's the only thing you remember about that game as you do a cannonball jumping into the pool after the game.

Sound familiar?

Well, it should, because that's the exact process this team went through from everyone at the top of the organization all the way down to the bottom. And, while I don't know Ethan, I'm confident in saying that there was probably no one better equipped to handle the mentality of getting up after you get knocked down than him.

And, to continue the baseball theme, because I could talk about it all day, Atta Baby Ethan, job well done sir! #GoPokes #OkState
So Much to Like About Ethan Wesloski!
Probably the biggest thing OSU had to do to stop Oregon was to stop their downhill running game. We had to get Oregon going sideways, and while Dierre Hill, who is extremely fast, bounced a couple with some success, this OSU defense played inside-out and used the sideline as the 12th defender.

So, give a TON of credit to Iman and Jerry and Enai and Landon and all those big ugly dudes. They created the “controlled chaos” that we’ve been promising you they would, and that forced a lot of the UO running game to bounce. Then, once it bounced, Jaleel, James, Malik, Keviyan, DeSean, DJ, and Billy took it a step further. Not only did we force the Oregon running game sideways, we then bubbled the runner’s path, which gives the safeties, who love to stick their nose in the run action, more time to make their run/pass reads and then get downhill in the run game.

Somewhere, wherever they were watching, Mark Moore, Chris Rockins, Melvin Gilliam, Chuck Verner, Jay Fleischmann, Scott Harmon, Markelle Martin, Deion Imade, and all the other secondary players OSU has had left that game with a BIG OLE smile on their face. They know exactly what it looks like when a defense plays that way, and I'm sure they loved seeing it.

James consistently beat his tackle and got rewarded with the fumble recovery. It fell in his lap, no question, but to recover fumbles, you have to put yourself around the ball, and his activity- the way he works at full throttle at all times- got him around the ball all day.

Well done, James. Complete effort all the way around for you and the team. #GoPokes #OkState

Gonna say it AGAIN, but Caleb Hawkins is absolutely an ELITE human being. Not that all these guys aren't, but he's on a different level in terms of the combination of his love for OSU, beyond just being a player, his trust and respect for those around him, and his talent. The "full package" aspect of this young man goes well beyond his skills on the field.

Hawkins had 110 yards yesterday, he gave OSU its 1st rushing TD of the year, he had several other huge runs, and had the 6-yard run on 1st down of the last possession, which set the offense up perfectly to end the game, which is the MOST satisfying way to finish things off. He may not have had his BIGGEST game of his career, but it may very well have been his BEST.

Several things to unpack!

Caleb was in the middle of storming the field in 2023 when we beat OU, so he had experience with the field storming of yesterday. Which speaks to the point that he's more than just a player. He's a fan beyond that, so getting things turned around was very personal for him. And, no doubt, that bled into those around him.

Then, to finish the conversation of the type of person he is, watch how he lights up when he talks about his folks back home at North Rock Creek. That's special!

Caleb Hawkins Takes OSU Personal! Elite Human Being...Elite Cowboy!
Not gonna lie, I’m still on cloud nine — and I don’t plan on coming down for a couple of days.

So many parts of yesterday felt like such a big deal, and actually getting across that finish line was incredible. After being the punchline of college football for so long, OSU was the national darling, at least for one day, and this podcast soaks it all in.

We also break down everything that went right. From the incredible performance of Drew Mestemaker to the run game overall to the great defense, I give my unfiltered, full-of-emotion thoughts.

Hope you check it out! #GoPokes #OkState
