Oklahoma State’s season was filled with interesting matchups, and the Cowboys’ star had a breakout performance against the Jayhawks.

OSU came into its matchup against Kansas following a win against Kansas State to try and turn the season around. However, with one of the Big 12’s best entering Stillwater, a win was far from guaranteed. 

Much like their matchup against Kansas State, OSU took an early lead. Alan Bowman helped the Cowboys take a quick 14-0 lead with red zone touchdown throws to Ollie Gordon and Brennan Presley. However, Trevor Wilson’s 47-yard score helped turn things around for Kansas.

Without starting quarterback Jalon Daniels, Jason Bean filled in for the Jayhawks and helped them take a lead into halftime. He threw four touchdown passes in the first half. Back-to-back scores to Mason Fairchild for 30 and 44 yards helped Kansas take its first lead.

Gordon’s 42-yard run put the Cowboys back in front momentarily before Quentin Skinner’s 49-yard catch gave Kansas a 25-24 lead after some mishaps on an extra point and failed two-point conversions.

Bean added his final touchdown on Kansas’ first drive, finding Skinner for a 42-yard score. He finished with 410 yards, but OSU’s dynamic star stole the show.

Although OSU had to settle for three second-half field goals, Gordon finished the day with 168 yards on the ground and 116 receiving yards in one of the best all-around games in OSU history.

To help seal the game, Brennan Presley found the end zone on a 6-yard run in the closing minutes to take the lead, and Alex Hale nailed a 42-yard field goal to push the lead to seven with 15 seconds left. Following Kansas’ touchdown to open the third quarter, OSU’s defense forced turnovers on the next four drives before running out of time on the final possession.

Ranking OSU’s 2023 season:

No. 14 South Alabama
No. 13 UCF
No. 12 Texas
No. 11 Central Arkansas
No. 10 Iowa State
No. 9 Arizona State

The Kansas City Chiefs escaped their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars mostly healthy, although two players did suffer noteworthy injuries. One of them was wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who left Saturday’s outing after just one play.

It’s a sternoclavicular dislocation for Brown, which head coach Andy Reid confirmed after the loss. At the time, Reid said the 27-year-old wideout was at a local area hospital receiving further evaluation and possible treatment. Sunday morning brings some more significant news, as Brown is officially on the road to recovery.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN on X, Brown was discharged from the hospital on Sunday morning and is returning home.

“Chiefs WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, who suffered a dislocation of his sternoclavicular shoulder joint Saturday night, was discharged from a Jacksonville-area hospital this morning and now has been cleared to return to Kansas City,” the tweet read.

When Reid confirmed the injury, he acknowledged that Brown would “miss some time” before making his return to action.

“I think he’ll miss some time,” Reid said. “We’ll just see where it’s at. We’re kind of going through it right now. We’ll know more later on here.”

It was a short preseason debut for Brown, who registered one catch but was injured on the ensuing tackle by Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown. Landing on his side put pressure on Brown’s shoulder area and led to the posterior dislocation. Reid compared it to the same injury Tyreek Hill suffered five years ago, also down in Jacksonville. That specific ailment caused the All-Pro receiver to miss four games – roughly a month.

Right now, it’s unclear what Brown’s individual recovery timeline will be. It’s unfair to put him on the same track as Hill, as different players heal in different ways and we’re still waiting on more information. Hill’s injury was reduced under anesthesia instead of direct surgery, shortening his time missed. A typical inactivity period for something like this is oftentimes a window of four-to-six weeks. The next time head coach Andy Reid speaks to the media, he very well may provide a more defined update on where Brown stands.

Until then, Kansas City’s prized free agent pickup will have his eyes set on a full recovery.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Several area restaurants and businesses were broken into in recent weeks, leaving business owners scrambling and asking what the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department is doing about it.

At the same time, illegal street racing and side shows have taken over downtown Kansas City, with drivers performing illegal maneuvers on city streets every night of the week.

Mayor Quinton Lucas addressed the issues on social media on Saturday, saying he wants businesses and people to feel like they can safely operate in Kansas City.

“There is no such thing as ‘petty crime’ for victims,” Lucas told KCTV5 on Saturday. “Robberies, break-ins, vandalism, and beyond is something we will never accept in Kansas City.”

Lucas says the rash of crimes in the city needs to stop.

“Prevention, accountability, and making sure the people of Kansas City know all of us care is something I will work with the police department on to ensure we are not hearing some of the same stories we saw earlier this week.”

Another issue the mayor wants to tackle is street racing and illegal sideshows. Lucas says the city is considering legislation that will allow them to take people’s vehicles should they be caught racing, doing donuts or other similar illegal activity often seen in downtown KC.

“We’re very close on that,” Lucas said. “I find that remedy to be legal in Missouri. I think that is something we need to do more of. I think we need to make it clear to people who are causing nuisances and frankly acting a fool all around this city that it is totally unacceptable.”

Lucas emphasized that all crime, regardless of size or severity, is a concern for him and KCPD. He says he has heard the calls from the community for something to change.

“I think most Kansas Citians say, ‘We’ve heard enough. We’ve seen enough, and we’re tired of people’s nights being disrupted, businesses being disrupted, and the violent crime that comes with it.’ We’ll make a change on it here.”
