STILLWATER — Spencer Sanders’ progression entering his third season as the Cowboys’ starter has been a big talking point, but fans will have to wait at least another week to see it.
Sanders, Oklahoma State’s quarterback, will miss the Cowboys’ season-opener against Missouri State on Saturday because of COVID protocol, according to Oklahoma State’s pregame radio show.
A redshirt junior, Sanders has played in 20 games the past two seasons where he has completed 63% of his passes for 4,072 yards and 30 touchdowns while throwing 19 interceptions.
At Big 12 Media Days in July, OSU coach Mike Gundy said Sanders improved more in the two months of spring ball this year than he did in his first two years put together.
