Short-handed but not outgunned, Oklahoma State flexed its fierce ground game against a stout TCU defense and took its shots when they came. The Cowboys defense made play after play, and despite missing his first field goal of the year, Matt Ammendola put the Frogs on ice putting OSU up 10 with two minutes to go. They would hold on for a 34-27 win.
The biggest question coming into this game was how Oklahoma State would replace the loss of Tylan Wallace. Mike Gundy’s answer was two-part: 1) Dillon Stoner and 2) more designed runs than pass attempts for Spencer Sanders.
