There was always hope inside a rowdy Boone Pickens Stadium that the No. 14 Oklahoma State (3-1, 0-1 Big 12) defense could come up with a big play and provide the Cowboys offense with a little momentum.
The Cowboys defense did just that as they forced No. 12 Utah (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) to a three-and-out with six minutes left. However, the Cowboys offense was on the field for just one play as quarterback Alan Bowman threw an interception, and the Ute offense took the field again.
With the ball on the OSU 45-yard line and six minutes remaining on the clock, the Utes decided it was time to put the game away.
