Tramel: How else should 2020 season start for OSU football other than a defensive masterpience?

STILLWATER — Shane Illingworth won the game in relief of Ethan Bullock. L.D. Brown looked better than Chuba Hubbard. OSU won the game with defense. Cowboy coaches raved about the atmosphere created by 14,688 fans in Boone Pickens Stadium.

2020, you haven’t lost your touch.

After an off-season of pandemic, Mike Gundy getting crossways with his players and administrators, and even a delay to this Tulsa season opener, what other script should we have expected for OSU’s season opener Saturday?

The Cowboys survived Tulsa 16-7, needing 13 fourth-quarter points to do it.

For most of the game, you’d have sworn the Golden Hurricane was part of the Sun Belt Conference, which last week cut the Big 12 to the quick, with three upset victories.
