RECAP: Pokes come up short in a weird one in Austin

The Pokes gained leads early in both halves but were mostly trying to claw their way back from behind. That strange juxtaposition is a nice microcosm of the type of game that unfolded tonight in Austin as the Cowboys fall 30-36 (for the first time since 2008!).

No quit in the Cowboys, but the Pokes drop their first game in Austin since 2008.

Your @ChevyDrivesOKC final: #OKState 30, Texas 36.

The Cowboys stalled at weird times and sometimes it felt like the playcalling lacked inspiration, and sometimes it was the decision-making that left us scratching our heads.
