Cowboys player makes first catch
By Drew Hill Daily O'Collegiate Via U-Wire Oklahoma State
STILLWATER, Okla. - Freshman D'Juan Woods made his first catch of his Oklahoma State football career a big one — he hauled in a 47 yarder.
"It felt great," Woods said. "Knowing that it's my first collegiate catch of my life, you know, you are only going to have one, so it felt great."
OSU coach Les Miles said it felt good to see Woods bring down his first reception.
"We knew he could do it and given the opportunity he will deliver the punch for sure," Miles said.
According to Woods, his
older brother OSU wide receiver Rashaun Woods, has helped to improve his game.
"Rashaun has been a visual guide," D'Juan Woods said. "He is the one that does it the best and then you can try to do it like him."
"He looks, plays and has a demeanor like his brother," Miles said. Woods said he is ready for a bigger role, but knows he will have to be patient and continue to build in practice.
Woods has drawn many comparisons to his older brother and Miles said the comparisons are warranted.
"I am just here to help when I can and back up John Lewis," Woods said.
Woods said he has been influenced a great deal by the older receivers, but has learned the most from sophomore wide receiver John Wohlgemuth
"He has really helped me because he is in the same situation I am, fighting for playing time. We have the same idea when it comes to trying to get things done on the field," Woods said.
The 52-16 blowout against Southern Methodist allowed 20 freshmen to get some playing time.
"It is always fun to watch new guys. new people with fresh enthusiasm and talented guys go on the field and play hard," Miles said.
Many players stood out to Miles during the game against SMU.
"Vernon Grant had a great game starting as a special teams player and as a reserve defensively," Miles said.
Linebacker Lawrence Pinson played nearly the entire game in place of defensive captain Terrence Robinson. He did a nice job according to Miles.
Another player who made a good impression was defensive end Antonio Smith, who filled in for Khreem Smith when he was injured.
"Antonio Smith is becoming a really fine player and will end up being a starter for a good portion of the season," Miles said.
Miles also indicated tailback Tatum Bell, who is nursing an ankle injury, may not be 100 percent for the game against Texas on Oct.5.
Colorado quarterback's season over

BOULDER, Colo. - Craig Ochs, Colorado's starting quarterback, is done for the season.
After suffering his fourth career concussion in the San Diego State game on Sept. 7, Ochs announced Monday through a press statement that he will "apply to a medical waiver red shirt for the 2002 football season
...withdraw as a student from the

University of Colorado... and relinquish my athletic scholarship."
Ochs, a junior and three-year starter, has endured three concussions over the last 12 months. His first two came in a three-week span in games against Kansas and Texas A&M in 2001. Ochs' third concussion occurred late in the first half of Colorado's win against the SDSU.
to make sure it's done the right way."
There was speculation that Ochs would return for Colorado's upcoming Big 12 opener against Kansas State on Oct. 5. However, that possibility was
"We totally respect Craig and his family's decision," said Colorado head coach Craig Barnett. "We want the best for Craig, no matter what. If this is what Craig and his family have decided to be best for them, then we certainly are going to do everything we can
quickly quelled by Ochs' announcement.
It is unclear if Ochs will ever play football again at Colorado. In his statement, Ochs plans to "reevaluate my options for returning to play football next season."
"He's a tremendous young man. Bottom line, you want what's best for him and for his future, for his health."
"He's a great guy," added Lucier. "I've always been a big Craig Ochs fan. He's a great football player and we hate to lose him."
In today's world, it's so easy to lose sight of why we're really here. So perhaps the thought of devoting your entire life to God has never crossed your mind.
Then again maybe it has. Maybe you're one of the rare women who are being called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. And if you'd only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice, God will get through.
We are the Sisters of St. Joseph, an international order with roots right here in Wichita. And we invite you to come live a life of holiness, in a community where we strive for unity and reconciliation among all people with God and with one another. Ours is a community of prayer and service. Our dedication to God motivates us and is the source of joy for all that we do.
But how can you know if you truly have been called? Do you feel a longing for more in your life? Do you feel a void in your heart? Do you radiate joy? Does love pour out of your smile and do you long to follow Jesus?
If so, you owe it to yourself to answer God's call. To learn more about the Sisters of St. Joseph, call or visit us online. You'll be eternally grateful you did.
