FORT WORTH, Texas — Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders’ final pass, a Hail Mary as time expired, fell harmlessly to the grass of Amon G. Carter Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Harmless. The pass, and the Cowboy offense.
No. 15-ranked OSU’s 29-22 loss to TCU was one of blown opportunities by an offense that was given many.
Five takeaways by the defense resulted in one touchdown — and the defense scored that one itself when Brock Martin returned a Malcolm Rodriguez-caused fumble 42 yards for a score.
On the possessions following the other four turnovers, OSU didn’t get a single first down, punting twice, missing one field goal and turning it over on downs once.
