Colin Carmichael Postgame - OSU 3 TCU 1
Emmy Hedden and Sonora DeFinii Postgame TCU
It's Thursday, so that means OSU's Director of Sports Nutrition, Ann Weidmayer, gets to address the team and get them ready for Murray State. Ann joined the staff in 2025, so she was a holdover from the previous staff, and she immediately gained the respect of Coach Morris. She's worked with athletes from several different sports, and she graduated from OSU in 2021 before earning her master's degree at Illinois State. She eventually came back to Stillwater and joined the OSU athletic department. Also, a big shoutout to Wes Edwards, the longtime equipment guy at OSU. Wes joined OSU Athletics in 2006, so he's been around this place for a long time and knows his way around OSU. And there is probably no one more professional and respected in that building. I also wanted to mention my man Len Magby, a 1991 classmate of mine from back at SHS. Len has been an equipment manager at OSU for as long as I can remember, and I'm super proud of him and all he's done. He's currently an Assistant Equipment Manager for football and baseball. Scott Parker also got a shoutout from Coach Morris for his great work. Scott is in his 19th year at OSU and his 10th season as the Head Athletic Trainer for football. There are so many parts of an organization like this that go on behind the scenes, but OSU has some great people who keep things rolling so Coach Morris and his staff can do their jobs. #GoPokes #OkState
Shout Outs To Folks Behind the Scenes of OSU Football!
UNDER THE HOOD IS BACK! 🔍 How did Oklahoma State knock off No. 6 Oregon? This series breaks down the Xs & Os behind the Cowboys' 39-31 win, with a look at some of the biggest plays from Saturday. First up: Oregon and how OSU came away with the HUGE 39-31 win. 🎥 OState Daily #GoPokes #OkState
UNDER THE HOOD: How Oklahoma State Beat No. 6 Oregon | Xs & Os Film Breakdown
Recruiting is the lifeblood of any program, and one byproduct of the win on Saturday is that it gives Coach Morris and his staff something to show recruits. Up until this point, he's been trying to sell a vision. Now he's selling a vision with proof of product to show what it looks like. So, while recruiting has been somewhat slow, TBH, which is to be expected considering the short amount of time this staff has been here and the lack of success OSU has had the last two years, it will start picking up. And there is just no scenario where Coach Morris won't be anything other than just about the perfect recruiter for a place like OSU. And what I mean by that is that I have no idea how high his recruiting classes will rank because OSU likely isn't going to get a ton of the most expensive players. But through evaluation methods that Coach Morris has mastered, his staff will find the best players that fit. Just look at Saturday if you want a homework assignment, and look at how many lightly recruited players won their matchups against one of the most talented teams in college football. That includes Drew Mestemaker, Caleb Hawkins, Wyatt Young, Ethan Wesloski, and every other UNT transfer. And Shaun Torgeson, Carson Kolb, Morgan McPhaul, etc. Those players "fit," so they maximize what they are capable of, and, in the end, that's good enough to compete at the highest level. Saturday proved that! There are so many great football players out there that, while the richest teams get their first pick a lot of the time, that doesn't mean they end up with the best or most productive players. #GoPokes #OkState
Saturday Should Give OSU a BIG Recruiting Boost!
The defense has been very good up to this point in the season, and there are several parts of it that are very impressive. I think the first thing that sticks out is how complicated the overall scheme is, but how simple each 1/11 of it is. This means it fits together, and everyone understands that all they have to do is their role. That may mean just occupying a certain space to steer a play into a certain stunt, and no one on this team gets jealous when someone else gets the credit for a play that, behind the scenes, so to speak, they helped create. Another aspect of the job Coach Cassity has done that is very impressive is that he's gotten a whole bunch of older dudes, dudes that came here to play, and he's gotten them to buy into the team concept. More specifically, everyone has bought into the different rotations that every position group is utilizing, short of maybe at linebacker. To get a 23-year-old transfer who has no prior history with OSU to not only be okay with not playing every down, but to be so invested in the teammates who go in when he comes out, shows a pretty high level of leadership. Legitimately, if you earn the reps, you become part of the rotation of players that get them. Then, the IQ that this defense plays with is pretty high level, both in pre-snap checks and post-snap keys. This defense plays fast, and I'm gonna say it again: yes, fast means rallying to the ball, physically playing fast and making plays. But equally as important, it also means making checks and reading keys very fast as well. That's a huge part of playing fast, and I think that's one of the things that has made this defense so good through the first part of the season. #GoPokes #OkState
Don't Under Estimate the Value of Sean Brophy!
Malik Charles and the entire defensive end group were grown $#$ men on Saturday. Malik had a HUGE sack after a really confusing sequence. OSU got a stop on 3rd down, and it looked like it was going to be 4th down, but there were offsetting penalties, and no one made an announcement. So, Oregon got to do 3rd down over, and any time you give Dante Moore and those dudes that Oregon has a second chance, you hold your breath. But Charles got the sack, BPS went nuts, and it was another HUGE moment for that defense. The official play-by-play has it at 11:41 of the 2nd quarter, on the replayed 3rd-and-9. James Williams made the 1st and last plays of the game, Keviyan Huddleston and Jaleel Johnson each had HUGE sacks, DJ Jackson did a great job putting pressure on Moore, and the unit overall was what we told you it should be. Very deep, very explosive, and very good. Containing Dante Moore is NOT easy, and much of that duty fell on the shoulders of the D-Ends, and they dominated that role. They are kind of the in-between pieces in terms of leverage. They have to play outside leverage of the tackles, so they have to be connected to them. But then, they have to play different types of leverage based on how many LBs Coach Cassity has on the field at any given time. So they have to be in total sync with the LBs, while playing very connected leverage to the tackles. And they have to do it all at the same time. They were not only explosive, but they were also disciplined and played the leverage each call asked for. There's a reason the coaches praise them so much. Just re-watch the game if you need to know why. #GoPokes #OkState
D-Ends Played Like Grown $@#$ MEN!

Coach Morris Opening Thoughts From Media Availability
Coach Brophy joined me and broke down the details of what led to the great performance Saturday in the win over Oregon. Absolutely awesome job all the way around, and Coach Brophy is somewhere near the top of that tree. Coach keeps the communication lines organized while everyone is making the adjustments they need to make on the field. He’s the conduit that brings all that information together and gets it to the different units in digestible chunks. He also has a relationship with Drew that is crucial to keeping the mentality headed in the right direction and keeping this offense firing on all cylinders. #GoPokes #OkState
