With an undefeated season hanging in the balance, quarterback Spencer Sanders and wide receiver Brennan Presley came through for Oklahoma State.

Down by a touchdown and a 2-point conversion, Sanders led a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive which culminated in a 7-yard touchdown pass to Presley midway through the fourth quarter. The 2-point conversion attempt failed, making the score 24-22. After the touchdown catch, the Cowboys kicked a 29-yard field goal to take the lead.

Following the go-ahead field goal, Sanders had a 10-yard touchdown run and an interception, sealing the victory and keeping the undefeated season going. The final score was 32-24, and Oklahoma State outscored Texas 19-7 in the second half.

Presley had three catches for 30 total yards today, and the fourth quarter connection was the first offensive touchdown of the day for the Cowboys. The prior points came on three field goals and an interception returned for a touchdown by Jason Taylor II.

Sanders finished the day 19-for-32 with 178 yards, the passing and rushing touchdowns and an interception.

Cowboys remain unbeaten halfway through their season

The offensive line continues to impress for the Cowboys, allowing just one sack and giving Jaylen Warren the opportunity to shine. Warren had 33 carries for 193 yards, his best performance against Power Five competition this year.

Oklahoma State moves to 6-0 this season and could creep into the Top 10 this week depending on the results the rest of Saturday. Texas has lost its last five games the week after the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma and fell to 4-3 on the season.

The Cowboys face Iowa State in Ames next weekend. They have gotten through the more difficult part of their conference schedule outside of a Nov. 27 date with Oklahoma. Oklahoma State plays five consecutive unranked opponents next.
