If OSU was trying to give off the late '70s, early '80s vibe last night, they could NOT have done a better job! The helmets and unis were spot on, but check out the postgame attire from Shaun Torgeson. I mean, seriously, if that doesn't transport you back to those days, then I don't know what would. Now all we need is some tight-fitting Riddell Coaches shorts, some burnt orange polyester slacks matched with some pony shoes with a big folded-over flap on them, or a pair of cowboy boots, and a spit cup, and that look has it ALL to a tee. The mesh trucker hat, high crown, old logo, looks like the shade of orange from that time, and then the toughest sumbeach on the team, reppin' it all! That's just absolutely awesome...ALL of it! I mean, DAYUM...I think I had the EXACT hat when I was a kid! Of course, that sumbeach is Shaun Torgeson, who took over at left tackle after the devastating injury to Jacob Sexton, and he's owned it. Torgeson is likely the strongest player on the team, and loves the physical aspects of football. Think about this for a second! You're getting ready to play Oregon, a team with maybe the 2 best edge rushers in college football. And you turn over your left tackle spot to an FCS transfer just ONE game into his tenure here. And then he goes out and just kicks their ass all over the field. I mean, that's just mind-boggling to me! #GoPokes #OkState
Are we in 1981? Love the Throwback Look! And Torgeson is a Badass!
OSU got to play quite a few true freshmen last night, which is always a great thing and is one of the biggest benefits of playing these types of opponents. The 5-for-5 rule is, IMO, one of the best things the NCAA has done in a long time. Now, instead of trying to map out redshirts, coaches can just play these kids, and it's a win/win all the way around. The 2 true freshmen on the O-Line were Ja'Qwon Evans, a young man out of Shawnee, and Eli Holbrook, a 6'3", 295-pound freshman out of Arlington. Miguel Chavez is also a freshman out of good ole' Muskogee, Oklahoma, and he's a redshirt freshman. Side note, I saw Garth Brooks in concert back in the day in Muskogee at a place that, if I remember correctly, was called "The Rose." KD Jones' TD was super cool, but the burst he showed on the run on the North Sideline was a "wow" moment for me. It had that Tatum Bell type feel to it where the burst was different, and it looked like the top end at the end of it was too. He's gonna be a special player at OSU. I am so pumped to watch this dude grow and be at the forefront of the next generation of GREAT Cowboy football teams. #GoPokes #OkState
OSU Got to Play Some Really Good Freshman!
The defense has been good all year up to this point, and the biggest part of that is that each player has "bought into" fitting it together in 11 different pieces. Everyone has 1/11, and if everyone does their job, the play is over. Conversely, if just one player doesn't, the offense wins. And, when you have a system of accountability like that, where roles on individual plays are that well defined, it's not hard to identify who did or didn't do their job. And no one wants to be THAT guy who was the one who didn't do THEIR job. Especially when there is so much competition throughout the different units and inside the rotations that have been created. So, the interior linemen have done a great job of plugging up the middle, the ends have done a great job of forcing plays sideways, and the LBs have done a great job at reading flow and getting to the spot first. Which means teams like Murray State have resorted to testing the manhood of the secondary, particularly the corners, and they've held up. And Mo Horn has led that charge. The cover skills have been good, but it's the tackling and the physical nature of how they've done it that has caught my eye. They're winning their one-on-ones in the RUN game, and that's put the opponents behind the chains and forced them to throw, which has sent the play right back to the box in terms of the pass rush changing games. See how that works together! Great stuff so far, huge week ahead! #GoPokes #OkState
The Secondary is TACKLING! Big Week Ahead!
Continuing our theme on Justin Bowick, because it's well deserved, I think one question a lot of folks have about him is, "Where the heck did this guy come from?" Or, with those measurables, why did he start at Eastern Illinois, which is an FCS school? All very legit questions...so...here 'ya go! He tore his Achilles and didn't play his Jr. OR Sr. year, so he literally had NO tape for colleges to evaluate. So, he started at the FCS level and has continued to work his way up. And, when I say "work", I mean it literally because Coach Morris says he is a total pro when it comes to how he handles the work that he puts into it. Then, he went to Illinois, and while Brett Bielema is a very good coach, his offense is run-oriented, so you don't get the targets that someone like J-Bo needs to show just how big of a weapon he is. So, now that he's at OSU, he has a wide-open offense, lots of targets, and an NFL quarterback throwing to him, it wasn't hard to predict he'd start reaching his potential. And while Drew has chemistry with Wyatt, Terrence, and Miles that he's built over time, Drew is as smart as it gets. So, developing chemistry with a 6'5" dude that can run a 4.3 and has the wingspan of a 747 was always something he was going to put on the fast track. So, fast forward, and that chemistry is built, and you can really see it in the timing of the "dig" routes that Justin has become so effective with. Last night they added a "jump ball" that he caught but was barely out of bounds, and the run after catch has been grown-man stuff for him. And, more than anything, you can just see the confidence for this young man grow with every catch. He's a dude! And, IMO, he's in the process of embracing that and thinking like he's a DUDE! Don't ask me to explain what that looks like. I just know it when I see it. #GoPokes #OkState
Justin Bowick is Becoming a DUDE!

Mo Horn Postgame After Murray State
OSU took control of the game against Murray State, never looked back, and then got some valuable reps from some of the younger guys and depth pieces. Coach Morris takes you through the game, what he liked, and a few things he didn't. #GoPokes #OkState
