How a ‘Catastrophic’ Few Plays Turned a Competitive Game into Another Blowout

STILLWATER — A gander at the Cowboys’ average margin of defeat against FBS foes this season (28.8) will show you they haven’t been super competitive this season.

Oklahoma State was competitive against No. 24 Cincinnati on Saturday … until the Cowboys weren’t.

OSU lost to Cincy 49-17 on homecoming, an unlucky 13th consecutive conference loss across the past two seasons. Despite the looks of that final score, the Cowboys were hanging around with the ranked Bearcats until a disastrous set of plays.

Plays from every game every week can be nitpicked, but there were a few from Saturday that took it a step further than simply not going the Cowboys’ way.
