STILLWATER — In a virtually meaningless game in which Oklahoma State overpowered its opponent, FCS-level McNeese State, 56-14 Saturday night at Boone Pickens Stadium, it was a little surprising to see freshman quarterback Spencer Sanders running the ball as often as he did.
Sanders rushed the ball 11 times — several of which were direct run calls or option plays — and was sacked once, totaling 12 attempts for 51 yards, all in the first half.
New offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson showed in his time at Princeton that he wasn’t afraid to run the quarterback early and often, and he wasn’t too bothered by Sanders’ usage on Saturday.
