OSU football: Five takeaways from No. 21 Cowboys' 45-35 loss at Texas Tech

LUBBOCK, Texas — Oklahoma State mistakes kept piling up, and Texas Tech kept rolling.

In a game that didn’t seem to be as close as the final score suggested, No. 21 Oklahoma State lost to Texas Tech, 45-35, at Jones AT&T Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Discipline disappears

The biggest intangible focus of the offseason was the Cowboys’ efforts to improve discipline.

It had gone fairly well prior to Saturday, but went south early.

The offensive line struggled to protect quarterback Spencer Sanders. The offense was flagged for illegal blocks and holding, and the defense drew pass interference calls.
