Oklahoma State football: Cowboys have branded an offense

Some college football offenses are known for their inventor or the coach who popularized it. Bill Yeoman and the Houston veer. Emory Bellard and the Texas wishbone. Hal Mumme and the Air Raid. Mouse Davis and the Run and Shoot.

Some college football offenses are known for their proficiency at a position. Southern Cal tailbacks, of yesteryear. Miami quarterbacks. Brigham Young quarterbacks. Stanford quarterbacks. Michigan quarterbacks ? yep, Michigan. Look it up sometime.

Some college football offenses are known for their perfecter. Mike Leach?s Air Raid. Urban Meyer?s spread. Paul Johnson?s option.

But Oklahoma State?s offense is reaching the point where it?s just known as the Oklahoma State offense. Its success seems to know no barriers. Quarterbacks change. Coordinators. Heck, even styles change ? the Cowboys rode high with Zac Robinson and Larry Fedora, in a system far different than what?s been run with Brandon Weeden and Dana Holgorsen and Todd Monken and Wes Lunt and J.W. Walsh and Clint Chelf and now Mike Yurcich.

The only constant has been Mike Gundy, and even Gundy hasn?t been a constant. First, he was a student, learning Fedora?s offense, then Gundy was the teacher, as Fedora?s successor, then Gundy was the student again, learning Holgorsen?s offense except Gundy really didn?t pretend to try to grasp the whole thing, even when Monken replaced Holgorsen, except when Monken moved on to Southern Miss last December and Gundy ran the offense in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against Purdue.

?It?s been a number of years since I?ve really been involved in play calling,? Gundy said. ?I have an opinion each week on what I think gives us the best chance to move the ball and score points, and then usually by Monday, I?m out of that room.

?I have a lot of confidence in the coaches on our staff and the decisions they make, and at the end of the day, they?re the ones that have to instill it in the players in meetings and get it across to them on the practice field. They have to get them to perform on Saturday. I have a lot of faith in the guys that are in that room.?

OSU?s offensive success has been remarkable. In scoring offense, the Cowboys were third nationally in 2012, second nationally in 2011, third nationally in 2010 and ninth nationally in 2008. In total offense, the Cowboys were fourth in 2012, third in 2011, third in 2010 and sixth in 2008.

?We?ve been very fortunate that we?ve had good players,? Gundy said. ?We hit on quarterbacks, a couple of them that weren?t very highly recruited who had come in our system and had success. We believe in our work ethic. We believe in the way we handle our players once they walk on campus as freshmen, and we develop them into ? put them in a position to have success on Saturdays in all three phases.?

Only in 2009, when Robinson was banged up much of the year, was Gundy prompted to make a change. Gundy gave up running the offense to hire Holgorsen, and his two offensive coordinator hires since have come with the command to keep Holgorsen?s system largely intact.

?We have approximately 35, 45 players or so that have played for our offense each year, each season, and when we?ve lost a coordinator to become a head coach, I felt like it was an advantage to continue to run the offense and keep our terminology,? Gundy said. ?So we would bring in one new coach or two new coaches, and they would learn our system instead of 35 or 40 players trying to learn a new terminology or a new system from the outside.

?For that reason, we?ve had success. So we don?t see any reason to change. Our players have also been recruited there, and we told them that this was the offense we were going to run. We would be up tempo. We would throw the ball. We?d run play action. We?d run the football. We want to be consistent in our recruiting. So the players that are currently on our team will continue to recruit. They?ve always been the best for us, and I know that?s somewhat broad, but those are reasons for staying with the system. It?s difficult to bring a young man in that?s made a commitment to our program for certain reasons, and then a couple years later things change. It can certainly affect him. So we try to stay as consistent as possible in that area.

?It?s never perfect, but by bringing a coach in and having him adjust to Oklahoma State, we?ve had success. So we?ll continue to move in that direction.?

MIT review cites missed chances before death of Net activist

By Ross Kerber

BOSTON (Reuters) - Reviewers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said on Tuesday the school could have taken steps that would have reduced pressure on Internet activist Aaron Swartz such as taking a public stand against his controversial prosecution.

Swartz, 26, killed himself in January, two years after he was arrested and later charged by the U.S. Justice Department for hacking into MIT's network to download millions of academic articles, potentially to make them freely available to the public.

Swartz's death became a flashpoint in a broader debate over how far prosecutors should go in enforcing U.S. computer rules, and raised questions over whether MIT, a traditional leader in technology matters should have spoken up in his defense.

An internal MIT review found that while leaders of the elite school may have been trying to act with restraint, they paid little attention to Swartz's case as it was developing and did not question the law underlying the charges.

"MIT's position may have been prudent, but it did not duly take into account the wider background of information policy against which the prosecution played out and in which MIT people have traditionally been passionate leaders," according to the report. The reviewers also wrote that "...by responding as we did, MIT missed an opportunity to demonstrate the leadership that we pride ourselves on."

After Swartz' death, his partner Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman criticized what she described as MIT's "indifference" to the matter.

In a statement on Tuesday from her Twitter handle, @TarenSK, she called the new MIT report "a whitewash" and wrote that MIT should have come out publicly against the case.

According to MIT's report, MIT employees first learned of someone using its network improperly starting in the fall of 2010 and did not learn it was Swartz until he was arrested the following January.

At the time Swartz was already known for technical work like developing a content-reading format and advocating to make more information publicly available.

U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz's office used a 29-year-old computer security law to charge Swartz with 13 felony counts that carried maximum prison time of 35 years, even though he had not profited from his actions.

MIT President Rafael Reif launched a review of the case shortly after Swartz's death. Speaking on a conference call with journalists on Tuesday Reif acknowledged the school could have acted differently.

On the conference call, review leader and MIT Computer Science Professor Hal Abelson said he hoped the school could use Swartz's case to teach students about the tensions posed by Internet technologies that can be used both for good or bad.

"Aaron Swartz did both," he said. In a later interview by phone Abelson said that in his own view, MIT should have taken a stronger role on issues surrounding the case such as the merits of the computer security law and what might have been more appropriate punishments for Swartz.

"At least my opinion is that MIT should have been more engaged in the wider picture around this," Abelson said.
