Dru Brown will make his first career start at quarterback for No. 21 Oklahoma State on Saturday when the Cowboys visit West Virginia at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Brown, a graduate transfer from Hawaii, takes over the starting job after redshirt freshman Spencer Sanders was ruled out for the regular season after having surgery on his right thumb. Sanders injured his thumb last week in OSU’s 31-13 win over Kansas. Sanders hasn’t been ruled out for the postseason, but for now it’s Brown’s job. Brown is 13-for-18 for 223 yards with three touchdowns for OSU (7-3, 4-3 Big 12) this season.
