Tulsa couldn’t overcome the Cowboys’ fourth-quarter explosion, even after adding a touchdown with 3:06 to play. OSU recovered an on-side kick and ran out the clock.
Similar to its narrow victory over Missouri State last Saturday, Oklahoma State’s offense struggled to find its footing, even with its starting quarterback back in the lineup.
Saturday’s game marked the return of Sanders, who missed the team’s season opener. He finished with 173 passing yards on 15-of-26 passing to go with two touchdowns and an interception.
Sanders’ first touchdown went to Jaden Bray, who led Oklahoma State with 84 yards on four catches, including the first touchdown grab of his college career. Sanders' other touchdown went to Bryson Green.
THE TAKEAWAY
Tulsa had its chances late but couldn’t capitalized on a long drive that ended with a 20-yard field goal and had a late fumble recovery overturned after officials reviewed the play.
Oklahoma State’s offense sputtered often for a second consecutive week, but it’s defense continued to provide a safety net.
