Oklahoma State defeats Washington State 39-13.
After a slow 1st half that was dominated by the Cowboy defense, the Special Teams and Offense picked it up in the 2nd half. Kendall "Spud" Hunter rushed for 112 yards and 2 TDS. Dez Bryant made some excellent catches in the 2nd half, finishing with 7 catches for 92 yards. Zac Robinson was solis, going 20-27 for 196 and an interception on a deflection. He also rushed for a touchdown.
The special teams matchup was the most glaring advantage the Cowboys had. Ricky Price returned a punt 67 yards, Dez Bryant returned a punt 42 yards and Perrich Cox answered a Cougar score with a 90 yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Dan Bailey was 3 for 3 on field goals and 4 for 4 on extra points. Washington State missed and extra point and had some poor punts the Cowboys took advantage of.
The defense played pretty well. They had a rough spell in the 3rd quarter, when Wazzu scored 2 touchdowns. Overall though, 13 points was exactly what Cowboys fans wanted. They pressured Wazzu QB Gary Rogers all day and finally got an interception in the 4th quarter.
This is exactly what the Cowboys needed to get the momentum going into 4 straight home game. The Pokes should be 4-0 entering their October 4th showdown with Texas A&M in Stillwater.
