Brandon Weeden’s Heisman Trophystock took a big hit with the doubleovertime loss to Iowa State.
While the senior signal caller threw for476 yards and three touchdowns, he alsothrew three interceptions — includingone in the first part of the second over-time that sealed Oklahoma State’s doom.
Weeden has one thing still going forhim. He will be playing on the final weekof the college season while other Heis-man hopefuls — Stanford quarterbackAndrew Luck, Alabama running backTrent Richardson — will be sitting on thecouch at home.
This will give Weeden one morechance at the national spotlight just daysbefore the final ballots are due in.
That brings up an interesting debate:Can/should the Heisman Trophy, givento college football’s best player (typicallythe best player on the best team), behanded to an athlete who couldn’t evenlead his team to a conference champi-onship?
Stanford and Alabama aren’t playing intheir conference championship game.Weeden and OSU essentially are playinga conference championship game againstOklahoma.
New Heisman hopeful Robert GriffinIII of Baylor had an impressive showcaseagainst Oklahoma — which in the worldof ‘what have you done for me lately?’forced his stock to skyrocket. But again,Baylor most likely will finish third orworse in the conference standings.
Does one game make a Heismanplayer?
If that’s the case with RG3, then thatcould be the case for Weeden.
The interesting question, however, ishow does Weeden need to go about it?
Does he clinch the Heisman bythrowing for 500-plus yards and fivetouchdowns in a rout of the rival Sooners?Or must he return the Heisman trophy toStillwater for the first time in 23 years byputting up those same numbers and puttogether a game-winning drive in the finalminute?
The flaw in claiming he must do thelatter is the fact that he already has donesomething similar to that — twice.
He rallied the Pokes from a 17-pointsecond-half deficit to squeak out a 30-29win over Texas A&M. Then againstKansas State, he got the Cowboys downto the 23-yard line — at which pointJoseph Randle scored to propel OSU to a52-45 win.
For argument’s sake, he didn’t throw a34-yard touchdown pass with eightseconds remaining. However, in bothinstances, he had more pressure ofcompleting comebacks because theopposing teams would have had plenty oftime to put together game-winning drives.
In Griffin’s case, there was no pressure.If he didn’t score, the Bears go to over-time with a chance to win.
Griffin’s the hot new pick because ofhis latest performance. But looking at thebody of work, Weeden won the “head-to-head” matchup over Griffin and RG3 hasmore losses. As for the stats, Griffin hassolid ground to stand on as he has nearlyidentical numbers to Weeden — thoughhe has fewer interceptions than OSU’ssignal caller and fewer passing yards, buthas more than 600 yards rushing.
In the end, if Weeden puts up gaudynumbers against an OU defense that hasbeen praised by everybody all seasonlong and proves that the Iowa State gamewas an aberration on a dark day in OSUsports — and clinches a conferencechampionship for the Cowboys — heshould propel himself into a trip to NewYork City. And could conceivably returnto Stillwater with a cast of Ed Smith to sitalongside a similar one awarded to BarrySanders.

Sometimes an athleticfamily leaves its mark on amajor college footballprogram.
The University of Okla-homa and the legacy of theSelmon brothers immediate-ly come to mind.
Oklahoma State’s Chelfbrothers haven’t had as a bigof an impact on Cowboyfootball as the Selmonbrothers did at OU, but theyhave seen playing time thisseason and made plays tohelp propel the Cowboys toward their first Big 12Conference Championship.
Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1 in the Big 12) hasclinched at least a tie for its first Big 12 Confer-ence title. If the Cowboys beat OU on Saturday,they win the title outright.
Clint Chelf, a redshirt sophomore, is OSUquarterback Brandon Weeden’s backup and heirapparent. He has seen limited playing time the lasttwo seasons. He usually comes in late in gameswith OSU winning by a comfortable margin.
Clint has completed 30 of 30 passes for 306yards and three touchdowns. He has played in fivegames this season. Clint’s older brother, Colton, isa senior receiver. He doesn’t start but has playedthe inside receiver and wide receiver role thisseason. He has caught 16 passes for 194 yards.
Weeden praises both Chelfs. He said both are
smart football players withstrong work ethics.
Clint Chelf is the mostimproved player on the team,Weeden said.
“He is one of the sharpestguys on the team. He’salways asking questions ... hecares. He has come a longway. It’s unbelievable,”Weeden said.
Colton Chelf is a smartplayer, too — smart enoughto learn the plays as an insidereceiver and wide receiver.
“Anytime he has ever got ashot he has always madeplays. He always plays hard
and does everything right. He doesn’t bust routesand doesn’t have any drops. He is one of the mostreliable guys on the team. He’s good. He’s solid,”Weeden said.
The brothers played high school football at Enid.Their high school careers overlapped, but they werenever on the field at the same time for the Plains-men. That changed this season at Oklahoma State.They have been in the lineup and connected on a 39-yard pass play in OSU’s lopsided victory overKansas. It’s Colton’s longest catch this season.
On a third and 6 play at OSU’s 32, Clint Chelfdropped back to pass, surveyed the field and hithis brother in stride for a 39-yard completion. Twoplays later, quarterback Chelf found MichaelHarrison on a 20-yard touchdown pass.
“We didn’t get on the field at the same time (inhigh school),” Clint said. “That was cool as well,
but being able to play at the same time is reallysomething special.”
It was an incredible feeling for both brotherswhen the duo connected against Kansas.
“To do it in front of all of those people in a game infront of our family is unbelievable,” Clint said. “Toactually complete a pass to your brother is unbe-lievable.”
The pass was right on the money, but Coltonsaid he wasn’t sure how the ball reached him.
“I ran the wrong route. It wasn’t supposed to goto me. He threw it anyway and it was all good,”Colton said.
The brothers took different routes to OklahomaState. Clint was one of the top 30 players in thestate. He was recruited by OSU in high school andreceived a scholarship.
Colton started his college career at Northeast-ern Oklahoma A&M Junior College in Miami. Hewas a walk-on at OSU and redshirted in 2009. Hedidn’t receive a scholarship until this season.
“It was a tremendous feeling when they told me. Iwas ecstatic,” Colton said. “When I first got here,gaining a scholarship was my goal and it came true.”
Colton’s journey to an OSU scholarship hasbeen amazing, Clint said. “He has always had thetalent to do it. Once they realized that and gavehim a scholarship it was one of the best feelingsfor both of us.”
The pair said they don’t get back to Enid as oftenas they’d like during football season. When they dogo home, the brothers are the talk of the town.
“It’s a cool feeling. We were born and raisedthere ... and it’s good to go back and see ourparents and their friends,” Colton said. “We justtry to represent the city the best that we can.”
Chelf brothers enjoy connecting on the field
Clint Chelf: Thebackup quarter-back has com-pleted 30 of 30passes for 306years and threeTDs.
Colton Chelf: Thereceiver connectedon a 39-yard pass,setting up atouchdown twoplays later.
To (connect with brotherColton) infront of all ofthose peoplein a game infront of ourfamily isunbelievable.To actuallycomplete apass to yourbrother isunbelievable.

2011 Bedlam OSU 7
OSU 8 2011 Bedlam
T he hype started in the summerwhen Big 12 officials movedthe Bedlam game to Dec. 3 as
a substitute for the defunct confer-ence championship game.
On paper, it sure looked likeOklahoma and Oklahoma Statewould be deciding the confer-ence championship.
On paper, it appeared theBedlam game could decide oneof the contestants for a BCSnational title.
On paper, it figured to be thebiggest Bedlam ever.
Then, Oklahoma andOklahoma State started playinggames. The hype built as theSooners and Cowboys won asthe first six weeks unfolded.
Some decided this Bedlam wouldneed a special name because it would
be too huge to simply be calledBedlam.
Oct. 22, 2011, is a date that foreverwill live in Sooner infamy.
Texas Tech waltzed into Normanand beat OU, 41-38.
And all those people predicting aPoke Choke were blindsided by theSooner Swoon.
The Red Raiders snapped OU’s 39-game home winning streak and didso convincingly. Yes, OU rallied toget close, but the Red Raidersdelivered a whupping.
If OU could right the ship, Bedlamstill had BCS title implications.
Coach Bob Stoops revived theSooners for two games until the Nov.19 loss to Baylor — a team that hadnever beaten Oklahoma.
I’ll admit Oklahoma State lost itsfirst game the night before in double
overtime to Iowa State.Still, a Bedlam game with a one-
loss Oklahoma and a one-lossOklahoma State turned Bedlam intoa battle for the conference champi-onship, a berth in the BCS’ FiestaBowl and an outside shot at thenational title.
But noooo!Oklahoma couldn’t beat a Texas
Tech team that Oklahoma Statethrottled, 66-6. The Cowboys handedthe Red Raiders their worst defeatever.
The Sooners didn’t stand a chanceagainst the Baylor Bears. OklahomaState whipped Baylor 59-24 on Oct.29. OSU led Baylor 35-0 at halftimeand 49-3 at the end of three quarters.
The Sooner Swoon changedeverything.
Oklahoma State has clinched at
least a tie for the Big 12 Champi-onship. The Pokes can claim anoutright Big 12 Conference champi-onship with a Bedlam victory.
Oklahoma State is ranked No. 4 inthe BCS Standings as this is beingwritten. The Sooners were No. 9. inthe Nov. 20 BCS Standings. OU isn’tranked high enough to propel theCowboys into the national title gameif the Pokes win Bedlam.
All the preseason and in-seasonhype was just that: hype.
We don’t need a special name forthis Bedlam game. It’s not anymorespecial than any other Bedlamgame.
We can thank the Sooner Swoonfor that.

Christian Littlehead came to OklahomaState as a slightly pudgy, baby-facedfreshman. Now the redshirt freshmanfrom Tahlequah Sequoyah High School isa lean, mean-fighting machine battling fora starting spot on the Oklahoma Statedefensive line.
“It’s a lot different,” Littlehead said. “It’sa lot better being on the field. Everybodywants to be on the field. I lost a lot ofweight from last year, so I feel about 100times better.”
Littlehead isn’t the only one happyabout his opportunity to get some playingtime. According to Littlehead, numerousfamily members and friends make the tripto Stillwater on Saturdays to see theirhometown hero excel on the field.
“There’s a lot of us and they all seemreally proud,” Littlehead said. “Myparents come up to all the games andhave even been traveling to the awaygames. It feels great to have my familythere to support me. It really helps mestay motivated.”
But while his crew decks themselvesout in orange, it’s Littlehead’s hard workand ability to learn that have earned himmore and more playing time with eachgame.
“He’s getting better and better,” OSUdefensive coordinator Bill Young said.“He’s just a freshman and he’s gonethrough some growing pains, but we’recertainly proud to have him on our
football team. He’s going to be a heck of aplayer eventually, he’s just not quite thereyet.”
At times, Littlehead said trying to keepup with all the information has been achallenge — especially earlier last year.But Young feels that Littlehead’s redshirtyear should pay dividends down the road.
“It’s helped him immensely,” Youngsaid. “The difference, when you really seeit is four years from now, is when he’ll beback for another year instead of beinggone. We talk to our recruits about thefact that if you had another year in highschool how good would you be? It’s thesame situation in college if you redshirt.”
Now, Littlehead gets to achievesomething every young football player inthe state dreams of — playing in Bedlamwith everything on the line.
“Honestly, I haven’t really been payingmuch attention to that game,” Littleheadsaid. “But just being a part of that rivalryis quite awesome. Everybody that growsup in Oklahoma wants to play in Bedlam.We know that they’re going to be at theirbest, so that only helps push us to be atour best.”
Beating OU in Bedlam isn’t the onlygoal for Littlehead and the Cowboys. No,they want even more.
“Our main goal is to win the Big 12championship and try to get to a BCSbowl,” Littlehead said. “Who knows, if thecards fall right, we may be even looking ata national championship. I feel like wehave the talent and the coaching to be achampionship-caliber team.”

Is there a better quarterbackin college football than Okla-homa State’s Brandon Weeden?
The Cowboy coaching staffwon’t denigrate quarterbacks atother universities, but theywouldn’t trade Weeden for anyother passer.
“I don’t want to judge otherpeople. I do know this. If thereis a better guy throwing thefootball around out there, hemust be special. I don’t know? Iknow there are a lot of guys outthere that are really, reallygood, but if there’s a guythrowing the ball better thanour guy — he’s pretty special,”offensive coordinator ToddMonken said.
The 28-year-old from
Edmond holds every passingrecord at Oklahoma State, andhe has set those marks in justtwo years. He threw 27 passesin 2008 and 2009 as a backup toZac Robinson. He has startedthe past 23 games.
“He’s a strong human beingwith a strong arm. He spins it.When he spins it, it cutsthrough there pretty good,”OSU coach Mike Gundy said.
Records just come withOklahoma State’s spreadoffense and a group of talentedreceivers, Weeden said. Theoffense fits his strength —throwing the football.
Weeden has tossed a ballaround most of his life.
He led Edmond Santa Fe tothe state semifinals in theschool’s first playoff appearance,but baseball is his first love.
The New York Yankees madeWeeden their first playerchosen in the 2002 MajorLeague Baseball draft. He was aClass A All-Star team pitcher inthe New York-Penn League. Heeventually was traded to the LosAngeles Dodgers before an arminjury forced him out of base-ball.
The Cowboys had recruitedWeeden when he was atEdmond Santa Fe. He walkedon to the Cowboys’ footballteam in 2007. He redshirted thatyear and played sparingly in2008 and 2009.
Fans noticed Weeden in 2009when he started the second halfof the Colorado game andrallied OSU to victory.

Weeden as a starting quarterback. Nowonder he is mentioned as a leadingcandidate for the Heisman Trophy.
“I’m excited to be mentioned in thesame breath as guys like (Stanfordquarterback) Andrew Luck and(Alabama running back) Trent Richard-son,” Weeden said. “If I were able to goto New York, I would be extremelyexcited about it.”
It also means Oklahoma State iswinning football games, Weeden said.The Heisman Trophy reflects as muchor more on the team’s success as it doesan individual’s.
Weeden also attributes a lot of hisand his team’s success to coach MikeGundy and his ability to get close to hisplayers. Most people know Gundy’sserious side, but few people see his funside.
“Coach has a lot on his plate, but
whenever he is around us he is alwaysgoing to joke with you, have a goodtime and communicate,” Weeden said.
Weeden said Gundy invited him intohis office prior to the Iowa State game— just to talk.
“It’s pretty unique. I don’t know toomany coaches who really do that. Theones that do are usually your bettercoaches,” Weeden said. “He’s a largereason this program is where it istoday.”
Weeden deserves every accolade hereceives, Gundy said.
“He has done everything we haveasked him to do. He’s been a greatleader for us. There have been timeswhen people doubted his ability and henever said a word. There are games hedidn’t play in the second half and gameshe didn’t play in the fourth quarter andnever once said ‘I need more throws orTD passes.’ I’m happy for everythingthat comes his direction,” Gundy said.
Weeden: ‘He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. He’s a great leader for us.’ • Continued from Page OSU 12 By the Numbers:

BEDLAM

Justin Gilbert doesn’t like to draw toomuch attention to himself. It kind of comeswith the territory as a cornerback in theBig 12.
But by the end of last year’s Bedlamgame in Stillwater, the state of Oklahomaknew the cornerback from Huntsville,Texas.
“Really just the crowd was amazing,”Gilbert said. “I was just kind of around thewhole game. I didn’t play much at corner,but when I ran that kickoff back, I justremember how loud they got.”
That kickoff, of course, is the 89-yardreturn that helped spark Oklahoma Statein an unforgettable game with 40 points inthe fourth quarter — 24 of those in thefinal six minutes.
“I was just hoping there were no flags,”Gilbert said. “We were hoping to be able
to stop them on defense and keep themfrom scoring again, with the way theoffense was going out there.”
Gilbert said he’s kind of amazed howthat one kickoff has changed the wayteams kick off to OSU. This season thesophomore has 21 kickoff returns for anaverage of 26.9 yards per return with twotouchdowns — including a 100-yard returnagainst Texas — but he’s noticed teamsare trying to kick away from him more.Still, he won’t let that slow him down.
“It all starts with the blocking,” Gilbertsaid. “Without those guys, I wouldn’t havea chance. They do a great job and I justfollow my blocks.”
While kickoffs may be the part of thegame he’s known for — he was a RivalsAll-American kick returner in high school— Gilbert is changing that perception thisyear.
“A lot of people on opposing teamsthought that I wasn’t able to play corner
and I was just a kick returner,” Gilbertsaid. “They also said I was on the wrongside of the ball, but I’m out to proveeverybody wrong on that statement and Ithink I’m doing pretty well so far.”
So which would Gilbert prefer — aninterception for a touchdown or a longkickoff return?
“I like them both because they bothenergize the crowd and our bench,”Gilbert said. “But if I had to pick just one,I’d take a pick-six every time over a kickoffreturn. And that’s just because it’s usuallya shorter distance to run.”
With so much potentially riding on thisyear’s Bedlam game, Gilbert said the mostimportant thing is to not fall behind earlyas the Cowboys did last season.
“We just have to take things day byday,” Gilbert said. “Our main goal is tostay focused from here on out. That meansstaying focused during the game, on thesidelines and in practice.”

OSU DESIGNS
By Nick SnowStillwater NewsPress
The Oklahoma State defense spentmore than 40 minutes on the field dur-ing the 52-45 win over Kansas State.The Cowboy receivers caught 46 pass-es for 502 yards in that game.
Yet when it mattered most, nei-ther showed the fatigue expectedafter more than 1,000 yards of totaloffense.
So what’s different about this year’steam?
“I think Coach (Rob) Glass did agood job of working us hard this sum-mer,” safety Markelle Martin said. “Wedidn’t go as long, so that kept us fresh.But he made us give our maximumeffort by upping the tempo at practice.”
In coaching circles, OklahomaState’s strength and conditioningcoach Rob Glass is known as a guru.He’s turned players such as BarrySanders and Danny Wuerffel into Heis-
man Trophy winners, and he’s hopingto add another to that list with BrandonWeeden.
“As much as I’d like to take credit,there are a lot of pieces that led to thisteam’s success,” Glass said. “They trainwith me three times a week just tokeep up with their workouts and stayin shape. It isn’t just one thing I do. Itmostly falls on the kids.”
Make no mistake, the influenceGlass has had in the weight room andon the practice field are at least part ofthe reason why the Cowboys reachedthe No. 2 spot in the BCS standings.
“That’s one of the things we tellthe guys,” Glass said. “Their attitudein the weight room and how hardthey work on the practice field canbe the difference between winningand losing. A lot of teams try to gotoo fast too long. We try to go withquick reps at maximum effort for ashorter period of time so that they’refresh by game day.”
For Martin, the difference wasnoticeable against Kansas State.
“Because our offense was so goodlast year, we were seeing 60 to 80 playsper game,” Martin said. “We wereexhausted after every game. Now,we’re still seeing the same number ofplays, but we’re in better shape to goout there and compete on all of thoseplays.”
Glass, a true professional and per-fectionist, still feels that there’s roomfor improvement.
“There’s always room for improve-ment, no matter how good you are,”Glass said. “We train pretty much year-round trying to expand the work capac-ity. As a coach, you can’t be satisfiedbecause there’s always someone whois working harder than you are.
“Our goal is to make sure these play-ers reach their full potential whilethey’re at Oklahoma State,” he said.“Otherwise, I feel like we’re doing a dis-service to them, as coaches.”

OSU 26 2011 Bedlam
Steven Sturgeon, YukonGosh, it was the last time we beat them
of course. I was Pistol Pete at the time, soI was on the field. It was an exhilaratinggame. We sucked them inwith some runs and wentplay action and threw it overthe top to Rashaun(Woods) over and againand again and again.
Q: What was it likebeing on the field?
A: It was just crazy. Itwas awesome because itwas the second year webeat them in a row, and itwas just good to get another victoryagainst them. We didn’t have to listento their band play “Boomer Sooner” asmuch. That’s always good when youcan keep their band quiet.
Q: What’s your prediction forthis year’s game?
A: If we both go in there healthy, Ithink we’ll win by 10 to 14 points.
Kurt Ikard, Broken ArrowI remember there’s an old joke that
Rashaun Woods is still open. He gotbehind their defense allday long.
Unfortunately, I wasn’there at the game then, butI was at home and it wasright around Thanksgiv-ing. I had a sister-in-lawthat’s an OU fan and therewas a constant battle ofchanging the channel andchanging it back — justpretty good natured ribbing.
Q: What was Thanksgiving din-ner like?
A: It was full of very quiet dinner con-versation. We didn’t ask her to pass anyof the food. We were afraid we wouldhave received it in a rather enthusiasticmanner.
Q: Any predictions on thisyear’s game?
A: If our defense continues to playlike it does, I’d say 35-28 OklahomaState, of course.
Doug Hall, HoustonQ: The last time
Oklahoma State beatOklahoma was in2002. What do youremember about thatgame?
A: I don’t really remem-ber much about 2002, butI can tell you about 1976when we beat them inNorman with Terry Miller.That was my freshman year. That’s thelast time I remember us beating them.Back then, it was awesome becausemy dad went to OU and I used to go to
all the OU games. Then I came to Still-water and my freshman year we beatthem. It was beautiful. I just rememberTerry Miller tearing them up. It was allabout Terry Miller. He was a financemajor and that’s what I ended upmajoring in.
Q: Your dad was an OU grad.What’s it like when you visit himfor the holidays?
A: Oh he’s always been very sup-portive. He loves OSU, too. So I rootfor them and they root for us, butsecretly I always want us to prevailbecause we’re getting some respectthese days. It was not a big issue all theyear’s growing up, but now it’s nice tobe in the hunt.
Q: What’s your prediction forthis year’s game?
A: I think this is our year. I thinkthey’ll have two losses by the time wesee them. My prediction will be some-thing like 38-24 OSU.
Cowboys fans remember 2002, when OSU beat the SoonersEditor’s Note: It has been nine years since Oklahoma State beat Oklahoma in Bedlam. With a BCSberth riding on this year’s game, the Stillwater NewsPress asked several Cowboy fans during home-coming what they remember about Oklahoma State’s 38-28 victory in 2002 over the Sooners.

Q: Mark’s an OU fan. Did he take thatloss pretty hard?

Rebecca Ashburn, DallasQ: What do you remember about
Oklahoma State’s 38-28 win overOklahoma in 2002?
A: Good God almighty, it was good, andwe want to repeat this year. I just rememberthinking, let’s throw it again and let’s let himrun some more yards and he can keepgoing.

Justin Blackmon is Okla-homa State’s big-playreceiver. The Ardmorejunior leads the team intouchdown receptions (15)and yardage (1,241)
He is a Biletnikoff Awardfinalist and won the awardlast year.
While Blackmon is theCowboys show receiver,senior Josh Cooper is theirgo receiver. When quarter-back Brandon Weedenfaces a must have firstdown, he looks for hisinside receiver knownaround OSU football asCoop.
Oklahoma State coachMike Gundy compared theWeeden to Cooper connec-tion to the bond Tom Bradyand Wes Welker share onthe New England Patriots.
“That’s a pretty goodcomparison,” Weeden said.“He is one of those guysthat is hard to cover under-neath but he can also run byyou. He’s not running just 5-or 10-yard routes. He’s run-ning verticals and he’sgoing up the seam. …. TomBrady has a lot of trust inwhat Wes Welker does andI feel that way about Josh.”
Cooper missed the Nov.5 Kansas State game with aslight hamstring pull, butremains a solid second inreceiving. He has 60 catch-es for 654 yards and threetouchdowns. His longestcatch and run went 37yards.
He has come back frominjury with a vengeance. Heled the Oklahoma Statereceiving corps the nexttwo games.
He caught six passes for106 yards in OSU’s 66-6 routof Texas Tech and grabbed13 passes for 128 yards anda touchdown in the Pokes’Nov. 18 double overtimeloss to Iowa State.
Cooper comes throughin the clutch, OklahomaState offensive coordinatorTodd Monken said. Herarely drops balls and iscapable of going a long wayafter the catch.
“We do a lot of things try-ing to get him the ball.There’s a lot of comfortthere. … With Coop,
they’ve played a lot of foot-ball together. They’ve wona lot of games.”
Cooper emerged in the2010 season when the Cow-boys charted a new offen-sive course with a switch tothe spread offense. Hecaught 68 passes for 736yards and five touchdowns.Good enough to finish sec-ond on the team behindBlackmon.
Cooper traces his raisingstar power to one person –Weeden.
“That guy just surprisesme every week,” Coopersaid. “He is right on themoney every time.”
Blackmon and Coopergive Oklahoma State offen-sive threats on either side ofthe line, Monken said.
“It’s a good thing havingboth those guys. You havetwo talented guys on eachside,” he said. “It works outreally good.”

Levy Adcock played high schoolfootball in Oklahoma. But Adcocknever had a real allegiance in thebiggest rivalry in the state.
“To me, it really wasn’t anything.I didn’t really look too much into itbecause I wasn’t a part of it,”Adcock said. “My entire family wasOU fans, but I never was diehardfor one team or the other. It wasjust fun to watch, (that) was aboutit for me.”
Now, as one of the staples of theOklahoma State offensive line,Adcock finds himself in the heartof the Bedlam rivalry — and hasconverted family along the way.
“Everybody wears orange now,”
Adcock said.The 6-foot-6, 322-pound, mullet-
sporting lineman, a first team All-Big 12 selection a year ago, wasnamed to several preseason watchlists — including the Outland Tro-phy for top interior lineman and theRotary Lombardi Award for bestcollege lineman. He was alsonamed the 17th-best overall playerin the country by Rivals.com.
Adcock wasn’t some All-Ameri-can high school player when hecame out of Sequoyah in Clare-more. Adcock had to take a differ-ent route to Division I football.
The OSU senior found himselfat Northeastern Oklahoma A&MJunior College straight out of highschool. And even in the junior col-lege ranks he wasn’t a big man on
campus — figuratively speaking.“I was hoping to get to the D-I
level when I first got there, but Ifound out quickly that it’s difficultto do,” Adcock said.
Adcock had to rely on his men-tor from high school to start gettinglooks from the Division I ranks.
“I asked for help from my highschool coach and stuff like that andeverything obviously worked out,”Adcock said.
Adcock said his high schoolcoach, Jody Iams, basicallybecame his recruiter — gettingAdcock’s name and game tapesout to colleges.
“He was very influential in get-ting me to the next level. He didmost of it on his own,” Adcocksaid. “He did all my recruiting basi-
cally.”So it’s no surprise that Adcock
now considers his high schoolcoach a friend.
“He wishes me luck every Fri-day, I wish him luck every Friday,”Adcock said. “We always talk onoccasion. I guess I would considerhim more of a friend.”
And now being considered oneof the best linemen in the countryand playing for an in-state DivisionI team, Adcock has become a pop-ular man when he makes a journeyhome.
“Everybody in Claremore wantsto catch up whenever I go backhome,” Adcock said. “But I try tospend time with my family morethan I do anything else. I try to justgo home and relax.”
With a boost from his mentor
Claremore senior finds his way to Division 1 successHe wishes me luckevery Friday, I wishhim luck every Fri-day. We always talkon occasion. Iguess I would con-sider him more ofa friend.

The Oklahoma State footballteam came up just short ofearning a trip to the Big 12Conference championship gameby losing in a shootout toBedlam rival Oklahoma in 2010.
But the play of the game —and considered by most to be theplay of the college footballseason — came from theCowboys. And more specifically,the OSU defense — not theexplosive offense.
A year later, there is still abuzz about the play made byBrodrick Brown, who tipped aLandry Jones pass — that wasdestined to be incomplete, out ofbounds — back into the field ofplay and into the waiting arms ofOSU linebacker Shaun Lewis.
“Anytime anyone talks aboutOU, they bring up that intercep-
tion,” Lewissaid. “It’s crazythat it stilllingers around.”
The momentis mind-boggling forLewis when hewatches replays.
“As you lookat it, you don’t believe it actuallyhappened,” Lewis said. “Watch-ing the play now, it’s crazy toknow that he had the ability andthe mindset and the awarenessto get up there and bat the ballback to one of his teammates —not an OU opponent, but to oneof his teammates wearingorange.”
While Lewis praised Brown’sawareness, the junior cornerbackgives credit to Lewis — who wasa true freshman playing in theOSU linebacking corps last year— for his awareness to be close
enough to snagthe ball out ofthe air on a playthat Brown hadnever practicedbefore or since.
“It justhappened. Youcan’t practicethat. There’s no
way that you could practice thatbecause if you try practicing thatyou could end up getting hurt orsomething,” Brown said. “It’s justsomething that happened andfortunately it happened the way itdid and was that big of a deal. I’mjust happy that I had a smartplayer there to react like that andintercept the ball.”
Lewis said it was a surrealmoment watching the ball beingbatted back toward him.
“Everything around me justshut out,” Lewis said. “It’s likebeing back in the backyard,
playing around with the ball andI just grabbed it and just wentwith it. It was so surreal when ithappened.”
The play was so impressivethat it made the cut in the battlefor the ESPY for year’s greatestsports play.
However, the football play lostto a different kind of football —soccer, to be exact. The Brown-to-Lewis interception lost in a fanvote to a bicycle kick for a goalby Manchester United’s WayneRooney, which went on to winthe ESPY award.
“Everybody was supportingme and I thank everybody forthat,” Brown said. “People weremaking fliers, sending them outand sending text messagestelling people to go vote for meand the ESPY’s play of the year.I’m just happy that I was able tobe nominated for it. It’s a greatfeeling.”
Lewis said he’ll take some ofthe blame, however, for the playfalling short of winning theESPY.
“Maybe if I would havereturned it for a touchdown, weprobably would have won,”Lewis said. “I told him it was myfault. But maybe this year he cando something like that again.”
Maybe the athletic Brown, whois considered one of the top col-lege cornerbacks in the country,should consider if he’s in the samesituation that he should do a bicy-cle kick of the football back into ateammate’s arms.
“It definitely would have wonif he did that,” Lewis said. “Hedefinitely has the will to do abicycle kick, but I don’t know ifhe’d want to take a chance likethat — out there on an islandlike he is. But I’m pretty surethat if he wanted to, he could doa bicycle kick like that.”
