Good Morning Pokes. I think we all know who Stone Cold Steve Austin’s favorite football player is… our very own Alex Hale.

At least, that’s we’re picturing him yelling “Give Me A Hale Yeah!” every time Alex drills another field goal, which he is doing a lot of this fall.

So much so that he’s earning weekly accolades.

What else do we have stirring in today’s Brew! Check it out below!

🎧 OSU MAX PODCASTS

Deion Imade and Clint Chelf provide a full breakdown of the win, give their players of the game and look ahead to this weekend's match-up with Kansas in Stillwater.

Get the guys thoughts on all that and more on this week's episode of The Old Pokes Show.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Oh Hale Yeah. Senior kicker Alex Hale is showing off his leg.

In OSU’s 29-21 win over Kansas State, Hale booted five field goals and his effort earned him the Lou Groza Award “Star of the Week”.

Hale, a senior from Point Frederick, New South Wales, Australia, matched OSU's program record with five field goals in the Cowboys' win. He also tied his career-long with a 53-yarder to go with connections from 43, 34, 31 and 25 yards.

He added two PATs for a crucial 17-point performance to mark the most points scored by any FBS kicker for the week. Hale now leads the FBS with 2.2 made field goals per game and is 11-for-13 overall on the season.

🔼 They’re Coming. 26 days. Roughly 635 hours.

That’s all that stands between us and the start of the OSU hoops season! It’s coming!

In just three weeks, the Orange and Black hit the court at GIA for exhibitions with the Cowgirls taking on Oklahoma Christian at 6:30 pm on Oct. 31st and the next night (Nov. 1st), the Cowboys play host to Oklahoma Baptist at 7 pm.

🔼 The Top Spot. It was a a busy start to the week for the OSU men’s golf squad, who competed in Big 12 Match Play, along with five individuals competing at the Grier Jones Shocker Invitational wrapped up play on Tuesday at Sand Creek Station.

In Big 12 Match Play, the Cowboys dropped two tough matches, 3-1 to Texas Tech and 4-1 to Texas, but fifth year Rayhan Thomas captured his first career victory in the Grier Shocker Invite.

Thomas shot a final round of 65 to finish four shots clear of the rest of the field with a 16-under overall.

🏈 HAWK HUNTING

Same energy. Same effort. Same place.

Coming off last Friday’s thrilling home win over Kansas State, the Cowboys are back at a sold-out BPS this weekend when the 23rd-ranked Jayhawks of Kansas come to town.

Nick Martin, Cameron Epps and the defense will have its hands full as Kansas is coming off a 51-22 home win over UCF and is averaging nearly 38 points per game.
