What the Media Are Saying: OSU vs. Iowa State
October 08, 2016 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Fresh off a win over Texas last week, the Oklahoma State football team hosts Iowa State Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m.
The Cowboys have come together and improved in several ways over the last few weeks, with several media outlets taking notice of what's happened both on and off the field.
The Oklahoman's John Helsley wrote about the Cowboys' continued improvement in the run game, summarizing it by saying, "there are smiles all around as OSU positively answers its biggest question mark entering the year."
One reason for that improvement has been the emergence of true freshman running back and Tulsa native Justice Hill. The Tulsa World's Mark Cooper compared his numbers to some recent Cowboy greats and found some impressive results.
On the field numbers aren't the only thing interesting about the OSU vs. Iowa State matchup, though.
Helsley's colleague at The Oklahoman, Kyle Frederickson, covered another intriguing aspect of the game in the fact that Cowboy quarterback Mason Rudolph and Cyclone quarterback Jacob Park once faced off in a South Carolina high school state championship game. See the whole story here.
The Stillwater News Press wrote about another Cowboy's story prior to his arrival at OSU, as Jason Elmquist wrote a feature on safety Derrick Moncrief and his path to Stillwater. Elmquist details how Moncrief has not been one to shy away from competition and how much value he's added to the team in several different ways.
It should be fun to see how it all comes together. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at Boone Pickens Stadium, with tickets still available at okstate.com/tickets. If you can't make it to the game, then watch it live on ESPNU with Anish Shroff, Ahmad Brooks and Dawn Davenport on the call.
