Who would have thought that special teams would make a difference for Oklahoma State in a good way? This game did not go as fans, as well as the media, were expecting it to. And boy are they (at least the fans) grateful. Oklahoma State passed their first test with flying colors in a 44-21 win against Boise State.
For the first half of this game, these teams were neck and neck. After a missed field goal attempt, Boise would score early in the second quarter, Brett Rypien would throw it to John Hightower for the first score of the game.
