Tulsa Defeats Oklahoma State 24-10 in Debut of Cowboys' Head Coach Eric Morris
Tulsa’s explosive plays and two interceptions by Oklahoma State helped spoil Eric Morris’s debut, ending the Cowboys’ 11-game season-opening win streak.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane defeated the Oklahoma State University Cowboys 24-10 on Saturday, spoiling head coach Eric Morris's debut at H.A. Chapman Stadium and snapping Oklahoma State's 11-game season-opening win streak.
Facing immediate adversity, the Cowboys struggled against the Golden Hurricane's disciplined defense, which forced four turnovers and stopped Oklahoma State four times on fourth down throughout the afternoon.
Tulsa quarterback Baylor Hayes passed for 227 yards and one touchdown, while running back Damari Alston rushed for 73 yards and two scores; Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker finished with 241 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
Compounding the struggles, starting left tackle Jacob Sexton was carted off early with a leg injury. Oklahoma State, now 0-1, has lost 12 consecutive games dating back to last season.
The Cowboys face Oregon on September 12 at 11 a.m., as head coach Morris described the team's first-half effort as "piss-poor" and works to evaluate the roster moving forward.
