The Sooners are one win away from achieving their goals for the pre-season.

Without future NFL star receiver Tylan Wallace and rising young quarterback Spencer Sanders, No. 21 Oklahoma State fought all the way up to the fourth quarter.

No. 7 Oklahoma stuck to their ground game, and their defense proved themselves by putting away the Cowboys to win 34-16 in the second half.

Intensity levels were matched by the Sooners and Oklahoma State to start the game to keep things tied up after two drives. Early in the second quarter, Oklahoma jumped to a 17-7 lead after a Parnell Motley strip and recovery gave the Sooners a good field position.

Oklahoma State did not bow down quite yet, but in the second quarter they were held on two field goals and went down 20-13 in half-time.

In the second half, it was all Oklahoma.

The defense of the Sooners held the Cowboys after half-time to three points and 109 yards on 25 plays. The Oklahoma offense churned out two long scoring drives behind its offensive line that stretched over 12 minutes of game time.

Kennedy Brooks is leading Oklahoma on the field with a score of 160 yards on 22.

The Cowboys opponent for its first round of Big XII is to be determined.

The Kansas football team couldn’t get going for the second straight Saturday and was blown out.

Chuba Hubbard rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns, and on Saturday No. 25 Oklahoma State rolled past the Jayhawks 31-13. The Jayhawks have been humiliated for the third time this season, coming off a 38-10 home loss to rival Kansas State.

Earlier in the year, they had lost just 50-48 to Texas and were close in two other defeats.

Oklahoma went in with a great start on Saturday and took control of the game. Hubbard, the rushing leader of the nation, also caught two 42-yard passes. For a career-high 150 yards and two touchdowns, Dillon Stoner caught five passes and Spencer Sanders passed 168 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys, making it their third straight game to win. With two interceptions, Kolby Harvell-Peel led the defense of the Oklahoma State. Carter Stanley threw for Kansas for 226 yards and two touchdowns.

The last point scored was from a good friend of mine, Liam Jones, an extra point scored after Kansas’s final drive in the 4^th quarter.

Oklahoma State University finished with a total of 481 yards, including 243 rushing yards.

It was the first meeting of coach Les Miles from Kansas and coach Mike Gundy from Oklahoma State. Gundy was Oklahoma State’s offensive coordinator for Miles in 2001-04 before Miles left to become LSU’s head coach and Gundy took over as the Cowboys ‘ head coach.

Chuba Hubbard from Oklahoma State made history on Saturday afternoon, the kind TCU wants to forget.

In Oklahoma State’s 34-27 victory over TCU at Boone Pickens Stadium, Hubbard became the first opponent to run back to the 200-yard mark against a Gary Patterson defense.

It marked his fourth 200-yard game this season for Hubbard, and his most impressive consideration of TCU had Saturday’s top-ranked rushing defense of the Big 12.

Hubbard’s first hit with the 92-yard TD run was ran with the game tied at 17 in the third quarter.

The 92-yard run also served as a landmark for any opponent in program history as the longest running play given up in the Patterson period and the fourth-longest. Chris Gilbert from Texas holds the record with a 96-yard TD run in 1967, followed in 1993 by a 95-yard run by Greg Hill from Texas A&M and in 1957 by Rice’s King Hill.

Nevertheless, Hubbard was not finished. In the fourth quarter, he added a 62-yard TD run to put Oklahoma State up 31-17 with 9:48 remaining. Which came on the heels of Max Duggan’s third interception by TCU’s true freshman quarterback.

It marked his fourth 200-yard game this season for Hubbard, and his most impressive consideration of TCU had Saturday’s top-ranked rushing defense of the Big 12.

In the end Oklahoma State was able to secure the win, even without star wide receiver Tylan Wallace.

• Chris was hesitant to follow his dreams.
• Flying to Florida to buy a food truck.
• It was all worth it in the end.

Food is a necessity. Humans must eat to stay alive, which makes the demand for food pretty high. Not only is the demand high, but it has steadily increased since the beginning of time. That being said, the food industry is one of the top industries to be in because it’s always going to be there. This is the mentality Chris Tollers had when he first began thinking of buying a food truck.

Hesitation

Tollers started to learn to cook before he could talk. As far back as he can remember, Tollers has always been in love with the art of cooking.

“It is something that has stuck in my family, it just stuck to me a little stronger than most,” food truck owner Tollers said.

As a young adult, many of Tollers friends and family encouraged him to start his own restaurant; but owning a restaurant never spiked his interest. That was until January of 2016 when he scrolled upon a food truck on craigslist for sale in Florida.

Getting to Florida

The distance from Florida to Oklahoma is no quick trip. On top of that, the food truck did not run. After speaking with the owner, Tollers, a successful mechanic at the time, took the challenge. A couple of days later Tollers bought a one-way ticket to Florida in hopes of being able to fix the truck, and drive it back to Oklahoma. Though some people would question Tollers decision, friends and family flooded him with support.

“I had no doubt he would be able to fix the truck,” said close friend Kelli Rice, “when I heard he was actually going to do it I was so excited.”

Because of unexpected difficulties, Tollers spent a little longer in Florida then he was expecting; but he eventually made it back with the food truck in Oklahoma.

Once back on home turf, Tollers quickly realized starting up a food truck service, while already working full-time for another company, was going to be no piece of cake. Much time and effort was needed to get this business started.

If asked, majority of people would assume if they saw a food truck that they most likely sold tacos. This is exactly what Tollers did not want to do. He wanted something different that would stand out from all the taco selling food trucks. So instead he chose to sell beef: ribs, brisket, shank, etc.

Hard Work Pays Off

From the get-go the food truck was a success. Living in the small town of McCloud, Okla. Tollers relied on family and friends to get his new food truck business; it didn’t take long for word to spread. Before he knew it, he had regulars every weekend, and still does to this day.

“Every weekend that trucks parked in the same spot, and every time I see it there is at least five or six people in line” said McCloud resident Garrett Wilson.

The decision to fly to Florida, and fix up that beat up food truck has blessed Tollers more than he says he could have ever imagined. He enjoys any chance he can get to talk about it, and looks forward to seeing where it takes him.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
