against Central Michigan last week, c

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State is glad to move on to its next game after the disappointment of losing a 30-27 stunner to Central Michigan last week on an untimed final play that officials admitted they never should have awarded.At home Saturday against Pittsburgh, the Cowboys (1-1), who fell out of the Top 25, will face another difficult opponent thats off to a 2-0 start.Were looking forward to getting back to work, OSU coach Mike Gundy said. The players attitudes were really good. A good football team will be in here Saturday. Weve felt like theyre a team that should be ranked in the top 25 with what they have. It will be a real challenge for us in a lot of different areas.Pitt is coming off a thrilling 42-39 win over Penn State last week, in which it built a big early lead and held off a furious fourth-quarter comeback attempt.Coach Pat Narduzzi isnt concerned with how Oklahoma State will respond, just with ensuring that his guys dial up the same intensity they did last week for a big rivalry contest.Im not worried about (Oklahoma States) mindset, I only worry about our mindset, Narduzzi said. I would guess they are going to be pretty upset and angry. Our job as coaches is to make sure that we are all up for the game. Were going to treat it just like we did last week. I told the team this is a big game because its our next game. Were going to be excited for this one.Five things to watch for on Saturday:1. RUNNING ON EMPTY: One focus for Oklahoma State this week is to get the running game back on track. After gaining just 50 yards on 26 total carries last week, with running backs carrying the ball just 15 times while quarterback Mason Rudolph threw it 44, the Cowboys are hoping for a more balanced attack that includes more success on the ground. We have to find a way to move the ball on the ground some, in order to set up everything else we do, Gundy said. Weve got to continue to get better at it. We abandoned the run too early in the last game.2. CONNERS BACK: Pitt junior running back James Conner is in fine form after missing nearly all of last season recovering from a serious knee injury and Hodgkin lymphoma. He leads the potent Pitt running game, gaining 117 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries last week, while also leading all Panther receivers with four catches for 29 yards and another score. A great story, and a good player, Gundy said of Conner. Its pretty amazing, when you watch him, to think that hes gone through that.3. CENTURY MARK: Oklahoma State sophomore receiver Jalen McCleskey enjoyed a career game against Central Michigan last week, catching 11 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown, the first time this season a Cowboy hit 100 yards receiving. His previous personal bests were five receptions and 58 yards. He also returned two punts for 36 yards. They were trying to take away our outside guys and he did a great job of stepping up and moving us down the field, Rudolph said of McCleskey.4. RETURN TO SENDER: Sophomore Quadree Henderson has been a dangerous weapon for Pittsburgh as a kick returner, leading the nation with a 53.5-yard average on kick returns. He had a 96-yard return for a touchdown in the opener against Villanova and then took off on an 84-yarder in the fourth quarter last week against Penn State that set up what became the game-winning touchdown. Henderson has also thrived as a receiver, catching seven passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing four times for 58 yards.5. TURNOVER BATTLE: Both teams have been among the NCAAs best at creating turnovers so far this season. The Cowboys lead the nation with five fumble recoveries and are tied for sixth with six total turnovers, along with Pitt, who has recovered four fumbles and pulled down two interceptions. Panther linebacker Mike Caprara, who pounced on two of those fumbles last week against Penn State, ranks second in the nation in recoveries. Penny Hardaway Jersey Large .

West Coast skipper Shannon Hurn insists theres no need to make mass changes to the clubs list, despite the Eagles AFL finals capitulation.Hurn is adamant the squad has the right mix of players capable of pushing for premiership glory next year.The Eagles bombed out of this years AFL flag race following their shock 47-point loss to the Bulldogs in Thursday nights elimination final at Domain Stadium.West Coast were one of the hottest teams last year during their fairytale run to the grand final, with their defensive structure receiving widespread acclaim.But 2016 was a different story, with the Eagles producing scratchy performances for most of the season before making a swift exit.The nature of the Bulldogs left a host of Eagles players shellshocked and coach Adam Simpson said he couldnt help but feel the season was a waste.But Hurn claims the team doesnt need to make drastic changes in order to contend for the 2017 flag.Instead, improving the fitness and skill set would be a key focus during the summer.I dont think we need to be changing the group, Hurn said.I wouldnt say its (a) wasted (year), because you can always learn something.But certainly as the years pass on, you realise youve got to make the most of your opportunities.If you can play good, team football, thats what wins premierships.One area West Coast will nneed to bolster is the ruck.ddddddddddddWith All-Australian big man Nic Naitanui (knee) set to miss most of next season, the Eagles need to find a mobile ruck/forward to complement Scott Lycett.Greater Western Sydneys Rory Lobb looms as an ideal target.Fremantles Hayden Ballantyne could also be traded to the Eagles after expressing a desire to explore his options elsewhere.The Eagles were heavily criticised for playing a team that was too tall against the Bulldogs.Pinch-hitting ruckman Mitch Brown was included in the side at the expense of Lewis Jetta (calf), while Jonathan Giles and Lycett were the two main ruck options.The trio ended the match with a mere 22 disposals between them, with Lycett clearly troubled by his ongoing left knee injury.But Hurn played down suggestions the team selection played a part in the loss.I dont think it would have mattered if we were tall, small, or in between. We just didnt play good football, Hurn said.Lycett, who has battled a posterior cruciate ligament injury since midway through the season, is set to undergo surgery in the coming weeks.Veteran defender Sam Butler, who at 30 is the second oldest player in the team, is set to receive a new one-year deal.
