HOUSTON, Texas -- When Mike Gundy said that both his quarterbacks would play in the Texas Bowl, this isn’t exactly what I had pictured.
With Spencer Sanders recovered from his thumb injury, I imagined him and Dru Brown would get roughly a half each. Like Gundy said, both guys deserved to play.
Instead, Sanders was given only three snaps.
Each time, he was inserted to run the read option with Chuba Hubbard when the offense needed to gain a yard for a first down. Oklahoma State successfully converted the first time, but was stuffed on the other two.
