Oklahoma State turned around its season after a rough start, but its nonconference finale was the team’s lowest point.

OSU finished last season with 10 wins and made a trip to the Big 12 Championship. Of the thousands of people in Boone Pickens Stadium in mid-September last season, none would have believed that as they walked out of the stadium.

After two uninspiring nonconference wins against Central Arkansas and Arizona State, the Cowboys hosted South Alabama and looked poised for a last-place finish in the Big 12 by the end of the night. OSU entered the game as a 6.5-point favorite but did not deliver in any way.

Still trying the three-quarterback system, Alan Bowman got the start and did not look impressive. He completed six of his 12 passes for 42 yards and an interception. 

South Alabama’s Caulin Lacy caught a 39-yard touchdown early and La’Damian Webb ran for a touchdown on the first play after Bowman’s interception to take an early 16-0 lead. Offenses stalled out for most of the second quarter before Lacy caught a 59-yard touchdown just before halftime and sent the Cowboys to the locker room facing a 23-0 deficit.

Gunnar Gundy was the second quarterback to see the field, and he also looked rough. Still, he led OSU in passing yards and helped the team to its only touchdown drive of the night in the fourth quarter. After OSU scored to cut the lead to 16, the team forced a punt, but Brennan Presley muffed it, and South Alabam sealed the game with another score.

Infamously, Ollie Gordon had only five touches throughout the game, with three carries and two receptions. While the fix was simple, OSU did not look capable of turning around a disastrous start to the season.

Former Oklahoma Governor David Walters is a long-time member of the Democratic National Committee.

He said he had already created a 28-day plan in the event President Biden did step aside. Walters said while it may seem like an impossible feat, the DNC is prepared to move quickly and they might have an updated plan sometime this week.

Walters said once the committee approves a plan, interested candidates will begin gathering endorsements. Walters agreed that it’s likely that Vice President Kamala Harris will end up being the strongest candidate but he says right now it’s too early to tell. He also says whoever takes over this campaign will have some big shoes to fill.

“Joe Biden has been the most successful president in my lifetime. I’ve seen a lot of them and, oh my goodness. I mean the Inflation Reduction Act. The CHIPS Act The work they’ve done for the military. The Infrastructure Act. All of that has been extraordinarily successful,” said Walters

He said that he fully believes President Biden will be able to fulfill the remainder of his term as president. And concentrate on both national and international issues that need his full attention.

Following President Biden’s announcement on Sunday, the DNC released a statement on its website which said the party will undertake a transparent and orderly process to move forward as a united Democratic Party to defeat Donald Trump in November
