Report: Spencer Sanders to Start Iowa State Game

The Cowboys’ QB1 is back.

Spencer Sanders will start Saturday’s game against Iowa State, according to Stadium’s Brett McMurphy. Sanders suffered a high-ankle sprain in Oklahoma State’s season opener against Tulsa, where he played only two series. He hasn’t played since.

True freshman Shane Illingworth played in Sanders’ absence, leading the Pokes to wins against Tulsa, West Virginia and Kansas. Illingworth has completed 36 of his 49 passes for 483 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

On Monday, OSU coach Mike Gundy said both Sanders and Illingworth could get snaps in the Iowa State game.
