Not much went right for the Cowboys during Oklahoma State’s anticipated season opener. They escaped with the 16-7 win over Tulsa but it’s hard to call it a huge success for the Cowboys.
OSU lost the turnover battle, its starting QB and fair amount of the hype it had carried into Saturday — and that was all before the start of the second quarter.
After just three pass attempts and two stalled drives, Spencer Sanders’ highly-anticipated sophomore campaign was grounded with a high ankle sprain. In as his replacement was Ethan Bullock, who finished the day 8-for-13 for 41 yards and an interception that would see him replaced by true freshman Shane Illingworth.
