Turnovers were a big part of the Cowboys’ first loss, and their second-year quarterback took a lot of grief for it.
Spencer Sanders lost two fumbles and threw an interception in Oklahoma State’s 41-34 overtime loss to Texas on Saturday. Sanders has six turnovers in three games this season (he only played two series in one of those games), and it has led a portion of the OSU fanbase calling for true freshman quarterback Shane Illingworth.
Illingworth played in three games for an injured Sanders, guiding OSU to three wins with only one interception. But on Monday, Gundy said he still backs Sanders to turnover his turnover problem, and it doesn’t seem like Gundy wants to cuff his gunslinger too much.
