For the second consecutive week, Shane Illingworth will start behind center for the Cowboys.
It’s Illingworth’s second career start in just his third game. Spencer Sanders is dressed, and it sounds as if he’ll be available on an if needed basis.
Sanders started Oklahoma State’s season opener against Tulsa but played only two series before suffering a lower body injury. He hasn’t played since.
On OSU’s pregame radio broadcast, OSU coach Mike Gundy said Sanders was about 70 percent last weekend and should be at least about 80 percent this weekend.
If Sanders isn’t used at all Saturday, OSU will be able to steal a week toward his recovery with the Cowboys having an open week next weekend before traveling to Waco.
