Woods is among the top receivers in the nation as a senior this year. Oklahoma State entered the 2003 football season ranked in the top 25 and touted as a legitimate contender in the Big 12 South. Then, after an open ing day loss to a greatly underrated Nebraska team in Lincoln, many had already written off the Cowboys’ season as a disappointment. In the month and a half that followed, OSU won its next six contests, giv ing the team its best sea son-opening record since Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas shared the Cowboys’ backfield in 1987. This week, OSU (6-1, 2-1 Big 12) will look to continue its winning streak with a visit to Kyle Field, a venue that has challenged the Cowboys in recent history. The Cowboys’ lone victory in College Station came in 1983. Oklahoma State coach Les Miles said his team recognizes the impor tance of winning conference games away from home. “To be successful in any league, you have to be able to go on the road, you have to be able to win big games like this one,†he said. “(Kyle Field) can be a difficult place to win, and we under stand that. We’re not looking by that challenge at all.†Last year, the Cowboys knocked off Texas A&M (3-4, 1-2 Big 12) in Stillwater, Okla., thanks in large part to returning wide receiver Rashaun Woods. The All-American senior hauled in seven catches for 79 yards en route to a 28-23 OSU victory. Woods currently owns Big 12 career receiving records for yardage (3,851), receptions (260) and touchdown catch es (36), and with 149 more receiving yards, the potential Heisman candidate will become only the eighth player in NCAA history to reach the 4,000-yard plateau. Unfortunately for the Aggies, stopping OSU isn’t as simple as shut ting down Woods. The Cowboys’ passing threat is balanced well with a speed running game, comparable to that of a Pittsburgh team that beat A&M earlier in the year. OSU tailback Tatum Bell is an elusive runner with game-breaking speed. Last week. Bell showed off his athleti cism when he broke free for a 95-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Bell finished the game with 238 rush ing yards and three touchdowns on only 28 carries, earning the senior Big 12 Player of the Week honors. “You can’t scheme to Rashaun Woods, (though) you wish you could,†said A&M coach Dennis Franchione. “If they didn’t run the ball so well, you could maybe do some things. (But) the balance that they have, 200 some yards rushing, 200 and some yards passing, you sit down and say, how do we defend them?†The best defense for the Aggies could very well be a good offense. In their last two games, the Cowboys have allowed an average of more than 40 points, albeit to the high-powered offenses of Texas Tech and Kansas State. Unfortunately, A&M will be forced to play without senior wide receiver Jamaar Taylor, whose season ended with a right knee injury last week in Nebraska. Taylor needed only 36 yards to become the Aggies’ all- time leader in receiving yardage. “It is unfortunate for him and for us,†Franchione said. “Fm grateful for what he’s done for this program and for the team, and we’ll certainly miss him.†A&M will depend on some of its younger receivers to fill the void left by Taylor and to prevent a seventh straight win for OSU. Saturday’s game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. and will be regionally televised on ABC.
