It took Matt Wells only five games as head coach to do something that Kliff Kingsbury and Tommy Tubberville never did: win against Oklahoma State at home. The first year coach led his Red Raiders to a 45-35 victory over the Cowboys from Stillwater, and amidst all the negative commentary this team managed to win with several starters out.
The story of this game started on Monday when Jett Duffey was announced as the starting quarterback. This came after a horrendous start in Norman by Jackson Tyner, and the announcement meant that Duffey would get all the first team offense snaps with Alan Bowman still out for the foreseeable future.
