Special teams blunders ‘the difference’ as Boise State comes up short at Oklahoma State

Erase two plays on special teams, and it’s a different game for Boise State.

Oklahoma State blocked a pair of Boise State punts — one in the second quarter and another in the third — and turned them both into touchdowns in a 44-21 victory at Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Without those two plays, the Broncos could have been up 21-20 going into the fourth quarter instead of down 34-21.

“It was definitely the difference in the game,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy told ESPN after the game.
