Oklahoma St holds off rival Tulsa 28-23 in Sanders’ return

STILLWATER, Okla. -- , Jaylen Warren shed three tackles to punch in an 11-yard touchdown run that gave Oklahoma State enough insurance to beat Tulsa 28-23 on Saturday. The Cowboys trailed 14-7 entering the fourth quarter, but took control of the nonconference game with a Spencer Sanders touchdown throw, LD Brown’s 98-yard kickoff return for a score and Warren’s late run. Oklahoma State’s defense helped it avoid a rare loss to its Turnpike Classic rival, limiting the Golden Hurricane offense to four third-down conversions on 13 attempts and 17 points. “I was proud of our defense for continuing to put us in a great situation,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.
