STILLWATER, Okla. — The Bearkats hung around for the first half, but Oklahoma State just had too many playmakers to keep things interesting Saturday night at Boone Pickens Stadium.

The Cowboys (3-2) used a punt return for a touchdown and took advantage of a Sam Houston State turnover for another score to pull away early in the third quarter, cruising to 39-3 victory over the Bearkats.

“Most of our problems were the guys on the other side of the field,” Bearkats head coach Todd Whitten said. “They have a good football team and made some great plays. They have a good pass rush and it was a lot to their credit.

“I think coach (Mike) Gundy has a good football team that is well-coached. They did a lot of good things tonight and held us to three points.”

Oklahoma State struck first when quarterback Zac Robinson found wide receiver Adarius Bowman for a 29-yard touchdown on the Cowboys’ opening possession of the game.

The Bearkats (2-2) managed to answer the score thanks to a 29-yard field goal by sophomore Taylor Wilkins to cut the lead to 7-3 with just over six minutes to go in the first quarter.
