Morris tabbed Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week
- STILLWATER – Oklahoma State football head coach Eric Morris was named the Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week after the Cowboys' 39-31 upset victory over No.
- The first-year OSU head coach guided an OSU offense that had a 100-yard running back, 100-yard receiver and a quarterback who passed for 300 yards and rushed for 100 yards for just the second time in program history.

The 2-4-7 preview: Predictions, key players, points of emphasis for Oklahoma State vs. Murray State
- The report attributes to Eric Morris an expectation that injured offensive lineman Braydon Nelson will be full-go before UCF. The writer views Shaun Torgeson's left-tackle work against Murray State and West Virginia as important to his future role. Nelson's timing is a coach's expectation, not current clearance or confirmation that Torgeson will be replaced.
- LSU transfer tight end Donovan Green made his Oklahoma State debut with 12 snaps against Oregon. Morris praised him, and the report describes him as healthy with a possible increase in work. Carson Kolb remains the reliable starter; a larger Green role is a projection rather than an announced starting change.
- Murray State coach Jody Wright's film assessment highlights Drew Mestemaker's ability to throw intermediate digs, crossing routes and deep balls while staying in the pocket with his eyes downfield. This is an opponent's assessment of Oklahoma State's quarterback, not a points projection or evidence for a specific bet.

Scott’s thoughts: Three intriguing freshmen to watch vs. Murray State
- No Oklahoma State true freshman had played through two games. The reporter expects an opportunity for Brodie Vehrs against Murray State if the game becomes lopsided, but it remains unclear whether Vehrs or veteran Grant Jordan would enter first behind Drew Mestemaker. Sean Brophy deferred the QB2 question to Eric Morris; no decision was announced.
- Chris Barnes' injury in the previous game increased Terrence Lewis' work and brought Rodney Harris II into his debut. Barnes and Justin Bowick had otherwise dominated outside-receiver snaps. The reporter identifies freshman Standard as a possible depth addition, not a confirmed promotion, and gives no current Barnes clearance.
- The reporter saw freshman running back Jones lag behind others in pass blocking early in camp and suggests that may be limiting his chances. With little production from the backup backs through two games, useful carries against Murray State could improve his role. That is a development scenario, not confirmation he will play.
- Freshman Evans appeared as the backup left tackle on the Week 1 chart, yet Desmond Magiya and Shaun Torgeson handled the position after Jacob Sexton's injury. The reporter argues for giving Evans live snaps now to prepare for further injuries; the chart listing alone has not translated into being the actual first replacement.
- Sexton is out for the season, Braydon Nelson has not yet played, and Joseph Hanson's status remains unknown. The reporter projects Nelson could return within the next couple of weeks and expects him by the Oct. 10 UCF game, but this is not medical clearance. Those uncertainties keep offensive-line depth a material concern.

Eric Morris postgame press conference after Cowboy Football's home opener against Oregon
- After Oklahoma State's 39-31 win over Oregon, Eric Morris said quarterback runs were a planned answer to the defensive looks; Drew finished with 109 rushing yards. Morris and Drew said the quarterback had the wind knocked out of him on the touchdown landing, and Drew said he felt fine once his breath returned. They did not announce a subsequent injury or absence.
- Morris slowed Oklahoma State's short-yardage operation and favored downhill runs with selective misdirection, rather than relying on the tempo approach that fit his older line last season. Finishing inside the five remained a concern despite sustained drives, and he used game feel more than his usual fourth-down chart against Oregon.
- Oklahoma State's already depleted offensive line had two more interruptions against Oregon: the center left for an IV and the right guard went out in the second quarter. Morris praised the replacements' effort and the improved blocking but said it was not perfect. He did not identify those two players' diagnoses or provide next-game availability.
- Morris simplified Oklahoma State's defensive evaluation to whether each player played fast after the prior week's problems. He credited the line with pushing the pocket, winning around the edge and producing key sacks and fourth-down stops against Oregon. The emphasis was quicker recognition and execution, not an announced permanent scheme change.
- Morris said establishing the run improved Oklahoma State's play-action passing, with first-down deep shots aimed at opportunities when Oregon was not blitzing much. He praised Wyatt Young's downfield play and said Drew's two interceptions came on tipped passes to the correct open targets. Those turnovers were not, in his assessment, evidence of two incorrect reads.
