The Cowboys-vs.-Cowboys puns are finally a thing of the past just like the OSU-vs.-OSU puns from last week, but these expired even faster.
The hometown Cowboys took care of business, besting visiting McNeese 56-14 and moving to 2-0 on the season. If you were following the game via scoreboard, you might have assumed it was smooth sailing for the Pokes from the start — but you would have been wrong.
Despite turning in 14-zip first and second quarters, the Cowboys offense struggled to get out of its own territory (and its own way) for much of the first half.
