In the only game of the day involving a Big 12 team, this performance didn’t do much to repair the conference’s reputation.

Cowboys weren't crisp, but enjoyed the 16-7 win over Tulsa just the same thanks to one crowd reaction in particular

Because nine OSU assistants have contracts, the university cannot cut their pay unless they agree to the terms.

Two hours before Oklahoma State’s football season was scheduled to begin, the streets near Boone Pickens Stadium were eerily quiet.

The OSU offense didn’t have the usual explosive game Cowboys fans are used to but the defense held down the fort by forcing Tulsa to go 0-for-11 on third down. OSU won a game when scoring less than 20 points for the third time in the Gundy era.

It’s unfair to think the offensive line would be what it was  last year in the first game following an offseason that included a pandemic. However, many fans expected a better showing than what they saw Saturday.

The Cowboys are still waiting to see if starting quarterback Spencer Sanders will be available against West Virginia after being forced to play three different quarterbacks in the 16-7 win against Tulsa.

For as long as the 2020 Cowboys are playing football, a new episode of “Our Time: Oklahoma State Football” will be released on the ESPN+ streaming service.

A team spokesman called OSU quarterback Spender Sanders' issue a lower extremity injury, and coach Mike Gundy said he doesn’t think the injury is serious.

"I feel kind of like the old me now. I feel like I’m going out there and just playing football like we used to," Tylan Wallace said.
