Oklahoma State aims for success
Cowboys winning streak runs strong
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Before the season began, any sensible Oklahoma State football fan would have been thrilled with seven victories. Now, however, that would be considered a disaster.
The Cowboys are 5-0 for the first time in a decade and have played well enough that eight or even nine victories would seem realistic.
Barring the unforeseen, No. 20 Oklahoma State would be favored against Baylor, Missouri, Texas Tech and perhaps Oklahoma. That leaves this week's opponent, No. 24 Colorado, and No. 15 Texas A&M.
A 42-16 victory against Texas last weekend moved Oklahoma State into The Associated Press poll for the first time since 1988. It also answered questions about whether the Cowboys simply were benefiting from a weak early schedule and made the thought of a victory
"If we continue to do the things we've been doing, it could be a special season for us," coach Bob Simmons said.
Simmons is in his third year at Oklahoma State. The Cowboys, who haven't had a winning season since 1988, won four games in 1995 and improved by one last year.
Last year, David Thompson ran for 1,500 yards for the second straight season, but the Cowboys couldn't stop anyone else's running game. They won three of their first four games but only two more after that.
Simmons said the players all participated in the offseason training program and worked hard to be in great shape when two-a-days began. But some didn't work hard enough in the classroom. When two-a-days started, Simmons announced that four players, including both starting cornerbacks, would not be eligible.
A few weeks later, on the eve of the opener against Iowa State, a school review board refused to reinstate six other players whose
grades were in question. Two of them were expected to play major roles — linebacker Raymond Cato and tailback Andre Richardson.
"I think that come this weekend, these kids will rally around one another and play for one another," Simmons said at the time.
And they did. The Cowboys went to Iowa State and, after falling behind early, won the game 21-14. They since have beaten Southwestern Louisiana, Fresno State, Northeast Louisiana and Texas by a 29-point average.
"We went up to Iowa State and played all four quarters and came out victorious and that actually set the tone." Simmons said.
But why such a dramatic turnaround?
The defense. Coordinator Rob Ryan installed the scheme devised
years ago by his father, Buddy, and the players have thrived. With 300-pound tackle Jamal Williams as the anchor up front, no one has been able to run consistently against the Cowboys. And the secondary has avoided giving up the big plays that can result from this attacking formation.
Lack of injuries. So far, none of the injuries incurred by the Cowboys have ended any of the seasons of the team's more important players.
Playmakers. Williams, safety R.W. McQuarters and quarterback Tony Lindsay also have contributed to the Cowboys' success.
Confidence. The Cowboys clearly believe in Simmons and his motto for this year: One team, one goal, going in one direction.
The early success has raised expectations, but Simmons has no problem with that.
"I think our kids expect to win, too, and that's the most important thing," he said. "I think they know how; they've proven that. Now what they've got to prove is, can you continue to do that? That is the challenge."
