The Cowboy football team had a rough opening weekend, but today is a new day, quarterback Spencer Sanders is back in the saddle, and Oklahoma State is all set to kickoff early today. The Cowboys are nearly two-touchdown favorites over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, but unless Oklahoma State can get the run game moving, it might be a lot closer than we’d like.
