The Cowboys couldn’t find their footing on a slippery grass-covered baseball field for much of the night. But when they finally did make some progress, it was too little, too late.
Oklahoma State fell to Wisconsin 24-17 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. The Cowboys came back from a 24-7 second half deficit to pull within seven, but a late interception by OSU quarterback Garret Rangel kept the game just out of reach.
Trey Rucker saw his first action of the season and immediately made an impact by saving a would-be touchdown — twice in three plays. After running down Chez Mellusi from across the field to save a walk-in score, Rucker intercepted Badgers QB Chase Wolf in the end zone.
