Cowboys embarrassed by Golden Hurricane
The Oklahoman • • sports
Key Points:
- Oklahoma State Cowboys, under first-year head coach Eric Morris, suffered a disappointing 24-10 loss to Tulsa in their season opener, marked by turnovers and offensive struggles.
- Starting quarterback Drew Mestemaker completed 29 of 49 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, describing the loss as "honestly embarrassing."
- The Cowboys lost the turnover battle 4-1 and are now facing a 12-game losing streak, with their next game scheduled against Oregon in Stillwater.
- Offensive injuries also impacted the team, notably left tackle Jacob Sexton, who was carted off early in the game with a leg injury.
- Despite offensive issues, the OSU defense performed relatively well, but the team must improve quickly to avoid further setbacks this season.
