BC-FBN-SEAHAWKS-FLOWERS:SE — sports (1050 words)
SEATTLE — Here’s the first stop on a tour of Tre Flowers’ football failures.
It was Halloween in Lubbock, Texas, in late 2015, and the rookie Seahawks cornerback was a redshirt sophomore safety for Oklahoma State. The 7-0 Cowboys met the 5-3 Texas Tech Red Raiders in front of nearly 55,000 fans at Jones AT&T Stadium.
They were all witness to something special — and, given the holiday, fairly gruesome — at the Oklahoma State secondary’s expense. Sure, the Cowboys ultimately won the game, 70-53.
But Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 480 yards and four touchdowns in the process.
