JW on Dez: Dez, he was probably the biggest supporter. He was in everybody’s ear, keeping us up, making sure we were still in the game. He was a lot of fun down there.” (NewsOK)

Believe or not, Walsh is actually the closest thing to Weeden that we have. His arm was not his only weapon. Brandon’s leadership was just as valuable. His teammates willingly followed him into the breach. (CRFF)

Ranking the positional units after Week 1. (PFB)

I did a podcast with Carson about the FSU game and, of course, uniforms. (KOCO)

I do love the CRFF weekly Big 12 power rankings. (CRFF)

Good story on Larry Stephens here. I forgot that he tore his ACL against Mississippi State last season. Nice rebound for him. (NewsOK)

Here is a tremendous quote from one Big 12 defender on Tyreek Hill if you haven’t seen it yet. (PFB)

This defense aced its first test against the run game vs. Florida State. Running back Karlos Williams was hit behind the line of scrimmage on 52 percent of his carries and the Seminoles finished the night with just 106 rushing yards on 3.4 yards per carry. That’s as good as you can ask if you’re this OSU staff against the No. 1 team in the country, and the Pokes defense will only get better as its players gain experience. (ESPN)

You might want to take a look at the stats comparison between JW and Zac. Look, I’m all in on Zac and I’d take him over JW faster than you can say “BoonePickensisfilthyrich” but Mr. Patton isn’t that bad. (PFB)

Dez on Michael Sam: He deserves the same respect as anybody else. That’s what we’re going to give him. That, and ‘play football.'” (Fox SW)

Nothing (NOTHING) says Les Miles like hyping the crap out of a recruit and then being mad when everybody else did the same. (CBS Sports)

Yurcich on The Freek: “We just have to be careful. The funny thing is he’s so hungry and he wants to play. From an offensive coordinator’s standpoint, it’s hard to say no to that. It’s going to be up to the running backs coach, the special teams coach or the head coach to say ‘whoa’ for me not to call upon No. 24.” (ESPN)

Holy cow this chart on drive efficiency is amazing. Hopefully OSU will start moving towards that top right corner. (Football Study Hall)

Devon Thomas update: Willison entered the home and saw Thomas sitting alone on a couch and then returned to his car to get something. He said that when he opened his car door, he was surrounded by 15 people, some of whom removed $1,000 cash, newly purchased apparel still in shopping bags and a 9 mm gun from his car and ordered him to take off his shoes.

He fled in the vehicle and slowed briefly on his way down the street upon hearing the group yell. He then heard two to three gunshots and felt a bullet “zip past” his right ear, he testified. (Tulsa World)

Another OSU blog has popped up on the interwebs. Here’s their good/bad/ugly from Week 1. (YOLOrange)

Mailbag Wednesday: Buy the Legoman and who I’d sell Tyreek for. Also, a short basketball preview. (PFB)

Haha! (Rivals)

Holder: “Football pulls the load for a huge, huge portion of what supports the other sports here. Our mantra around here for so many years was, ‘We’re Oklahoma State. We do more with less.’ To see how a lot of our alums have stepped up with significant amounts of money – it has changed the culture of this place.” (Tulsa World)

Ranking the fantasy performances of Big 12 QBs. PFB contributors have been crushing it this week. (PFB)

OSU will run its home opener winning streak to 19 games on Saturday. (okstate)

Interesting. Cool usage of the new studios. Also, I bet Kevin Peterson is incredible at the Football 101 thing.

Dang.

In-state PG has plans to visit Stillwater. Good work by Kyle Boone here on some recruiting news. (PFB)

Interesting stuff here. Part of me wonders if he was just built to thrive in the NBA..
