It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cowboys proved Saturday that they can win ugly.
No. 11 Oklahoma State suffered through dry spells on offense and several serious lapses on defense to defeat Arizona State 34-17 inside Boone Pickens Stadium. The Sun Devils pulled within three points on their first drive of the fourth quarter, but OSU went on to score 14 unanswered points.
Oklahoma State did not get off to the offensive start it did in Week 1. The Cowboys’ first five drives resulted in four punts and an interception. They were sluggish in the run game and slow-going on first downs.
